Where the Mask Ends

Based on publicly available information about the 2026 television drama, itself adapted from Xiao Jiaren’s novel. The drama’s switched identities and family history differ from the novel; do not merge them as if they were the same plot. New connective scenes are original, not transcripts. Each entry recognizes only events already established there. People know only what they experienced, witnessed or were reliably told. A-Chou and Jun Dai are distinct; the marriage substitution and birth mystery are different secrets. Evidence and actions, not a name alone, reveal identity. After takeover, relationships, danger, inquiries and endings can change.
