"Someone posted the 'Secret Hidden by Time' plot proposal that was submitted to China's State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT). Don't ask me how they get their hands on that proposal. They must work for the CIA/FBI, etc....
According to that proposal (you may already know this from the book, but I heard they changed some of the plots in the script), Su Man gave up a promising job and went to work as an entry-level employee at a small company because of her unrequited love for Song Xiang. The quiet and reserved Lu Li Cheng is Su Man's direct manager and Song Xiang's main competitor in this company. So naturally, Su Man dislikes him. Unfortunately, Lu Li Cheng is the only one who knows Su Man's "secret"!
Su Man gets closer to Song Xiang, and Song Xiang begins to notice her and like her as well. In the mean time, Lu Li Cheng slowly warms up to Su Man too!
Song Xiang likes Su Man because she looks like his former girlfriend Su Rui. Su Rui is Su Man's step sister. Song Xiang thinks she died from a car accident. But in reality, she was disfigured and went abroad for long-term plastic surgery/therapy. Su Man realizes Song Xiang does not love her for who she is. She also realized that she has developed feelings for Lu Li Cheng during their daily interactions. Su Rui came back from abroad, and the two couples each find their own happiness."
