The story revolves around Su Bai, a woman caught in a turbulent emotional struggle. Her husband, who is portrayed as a complete scoundrel, has left her heartbroken. Su Bai, once meek and soft like a "soft package," has had enough. In a dramatic turn, she decides to fight back—not only against her unfaithful husband but also against her own inner conflicts. Su Bai has a dual personality. One persona is a self-sacrificing, devoted wife who clings to her husband, no matter how badly he treats her. The other is a carefree, rebellious side that despises love and is unwilling to submit to anyone. This clash between her two personalities ignites a fiery internal conflict, as they vie for control over her actions and decisions. The war within Su Bai becomes more intense as her two selves fight for dominance, especially over the man who has caused her so much pain. Unbeknownst to Su Bai, the greatest enemy she faces isn't just her husband or the external challenges, but her own second personality. The struggle for control over her body becomes a battleground, and in this war, she must confront not only her husband but also the very nature of who she is.

But as his journey brings him closer to the heart of the conflict, he must confront a harrowing choice: to wield his power to save the world or to sacrifice everything to protect those he loves.

Call it petty or perhaps foolish, if you will, but to Lauren, her small revenge became the last saving straw in her drowning life. Betrayed by her own family, who had her incarcerated for a crime committed by her older sister, Lauren wanted to end her life when they also went ahead and disowned her after her release from prison. So as a coping mechanism, Lauren made it her life mission to teach her family a small lesson by denying her sister, Laura, the joy of being with the only man that she has ever loved as a little token of payment for all that she had to endure from them. For years, Lauren lay in wait as she worked as a bar hostess and planned her simple but well-elaborated revenge against her parents' "golden child." But finding out that she was pregnant with another man's baby not so long after the wedding was never part of her plans.  So Lauren knew then that it was time to draw the curtains closed before her "husband" finds out that he has been duped. She needs to RUN! So what happens when this said husband too has no intention of letting her get away with this scot-free and intends to find his "fake" wife and make sure that she pays for her deception? What happens then when she realises that the man that she has been searching for is none other than the very husband that she has been running away from? Will she go and claim him back, or will she continue to let her sister be with him?

One fateful night, the sky turned crimson, and the stars fell, bringing with them chaos, monsters, and a cataclysmic energy that shattered the world.

"I, Thandie Lohan vow to focus all my energy on building my career and the day I fall in love again will be the day the sun dances".

"Let me fall in love with you." With his ocean blue eyes, he looks at me. "I can't ...We are enemies." "I-" I know that. I doubt anyone knows it better than us. But still I can't help it. I want to love you. I want you to love me. I want us to be together. I wish I could declare this to whole world. Slowly extending his hands towards me, he says"One day we will not be enemies, maybe then we can be lovers." What do I say to that? Do I tell him I will wait... Or question him when? I have so many questions to ask him. But again how do I break it to him. "..." "n.." His gaze stuck on me for a while finally disappears. Facing straight, he finally breaks the silence with a soft wispher"Not just lovers." "Yes." I question him not believing my ears. Maybe the whistle of air is hindering my hearing. He whimpers. Completely turning away his head, he adds"Not just lovers but spouses." "Are you proposing to me?" I couldn't believe my ears, I couldn't believe reality. I am dreaming, aren't I? Maybe the night's cold is finally getting to me. "Yes,I will you accept?" He heard that. Noway did I speak aloud? Huh. The tips of his ear are little red. He is so cute. I can't help but smile to that. "You do realize you are asking me to wait to date right?" He turns and stares me down in eyes. He looks pitful. Maybe to an outsiders, it looks like I am bullying him. "I will give you the answer when we aren't enemies. He looked away. He had a frown on his face. "When the night comes, will we meet again." I asked him, gazing upon the stars in the sky. " When the night comes, I will also come with it." His replied made my heart tingle. "But I don't know about you." My face had a soft smile.
