The Cost of Pretense Plot:

Lin Xiaoman, who pretends to be a "rich lady" due to inferiority, falls in love with CEO Gu Chuan—who adores her for her "unworldly purity". When Gu Chuan proposes to meet her parents, her lies crumble like dominoes: the key to her rented apartment, the fake "mom's" phone call, and even a colleague from her part-time milk tea job exposing her "persona". Gu Chuan's disappointed gaze cuts deep, making Xiaoman finally realize: pretense isn't a protective shield, but a wall that pushes true love away. She decides to strip off her mask, only to find that the one most needing redemption is the version of herself afraid to face the truth.
