Plot Summary of My Wife's Double Life
Liu Yong, as a child, was saved by a nobleman during a devastating flood. To repay the nobleman’s kindness, she assumes the identity of his daughter, Xiao Jin, and marries He Mojin (played by Tang Xiaotian). Unaware that he is marrying the thief he’s been chasing, He Mojin has no idea his new wife has infiltrated his household to retrieve a vital jade token.
By day, Liu Yong plays the part of a gentle wife to He Mojin, but by night, she transforms into the bold thief "Liu Yejeok." While He Mojin diligently pursues the elusive thief, he remains completely oblivious to the fact that his own wife is the one he's after. Their relationship is complicated as they meet as both husband and wife by day and pursuer and thief by night, leading to a mix of feelings.
Initially reluctant about their marriage, He Mojin gradually comes to trust Liu Yong, unaware of her secret. As they grow closer, Liu Yong also finds herself caring for He Mojin, especially as he instinctively tries to protect her whenever she’s in danger.
Meanwhile, Liu Yong partners with her mentor, Jin Mokmok, to uncover secrets within He’s household. She discovers a political conspiracy involving He Mojin’s father, putting He Mojin himself in grave danger. Liu Yong is determined to help He Mojin without revealing her identity, leading them through numerous challenges that ultimately strengthen their trust and love for each other.
