Song Qi starts verbally and physically abusing Xiaoxi, and Xiaoxi finally breaks apart and calls Liu Dong. Song Qi becomes murderous and used an orange scarf of Xiaoxi to strangle her to death.

Song Qi comes back to Xiaoxi's house at night and buries her underneath bricks in her garden. She then confronts her boyfriend, Liu Dong, also about the affair. Liu Dong denies at first but then he admits to liking Xiaoxi. Song Qi weeps saddenly and the two's love relationship takes a harsh downward spiral.

A policeman, Liu Jian (Fang Li), visits Song Qi after a few days to question about Xiaoxi's sudden disappearance and also her whereabouts. Song Qi denies that she know where Xiaoxi is. The police remains suspicious, but he leaves. Song Qi starts having hallucinations and nightmares at night of Xiaoxi visiting her and haunting her. A few more days pass and Liu Dong is also suspicious about Song Qi. He confronts her and shows her the orange scarf that Song Qi choked Xiaoxi with. He claims that the orange scarf's patterns is askew and he will show the police about it. Song Qi is terrified and she tries to take it back, but she fails. Liu Dong shows the orange scarf to Liu Jian the next day.

Song Qi then makes a run for it when she stumbles into Liu Dong showing the orange scarf to the Liu Jian. She drives into the wilderness to a lake. She jumps into the lake to swim but she quickly gets out when she saw a hallucination of Xiaoxi swimming also in the lake. Later, she eats at a restaurant when she saw Liu Jian coming into the restaurant and questioning people, presumably about her. She hides and runs out the restaurant via the kitchens. She stumbles in the forest and knocks her head on a tree, creating a bloody mark on her head.

She finds her car and starts to drive rapidly away when she suddenly runs over Liu Jiang coming out the woods. Song Qi climbs out the car and checks on Liu Jiang only to see that he is dead. She weeps and fells asleep. When she awakes, she sees a female policewoman shaking her. Song Qi says to the policewoman that she ran over a policeman named Liu Jian except there is no body and no evidence of damage on the her car's hood. The policewoman takes her to the station where she finds out that there is no officer in the police station named Liu Jian. She then finds out that her boyfriend, Liu Dong, is not real and that her best friend, Xiaoxi, is alive and is on a holiday abroad.

Song Qi discovers that everything happening before was actually hallucinations and was really a replay of what happened before in her life. When Song Qi was little, she witnessed her mother, Wang Meiling (Kong Wei), being strangled by her father, Wang Teihui (Yao An-Lian). Her father had used an orange scarf to commit the murder. He had done it out of anger when he found out that Meiling was having an affair with their lawyer, Liu Jian (Fang Li). He then storms away and disappears presumed dead by everyone.

Song Qi was then adopted by Liu Jian. Liu Jian had a son named Liu Dong in which Song Qi was deeply in love with. After many years when Song Qi and Liu Dong was finished with college, Liu Jian decided to take a trip alone to visit Song Qi's biological father, Teihui. On the way to Xinjiang, he was in a car accident and died. Song Qi was ballistic when she found out and it was then she went crazy and started having hallucinations. She broke away from the real Liu Dong and started having a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with a fake Liu Dong she made up in her mind but believed to be real.

When she finally found out about her father, he was dying. He expressed immense regret over what he did and wishes she would take his ashes with her. Song Qi then puts his cremation urn with her mother's.

She finally decides to search for the real Liu Dong. When she finally finds him at the beach in Qinghuangdao, gazing into the sea, she taps him on the shoulder in which he responded by turning around. They both express longing and love for each other and embraces. Liu Dong states, "You have been away for so long". Finally, Song Qi answered with, "Actually, you were with me the whole time".
