LUI TAO STARS IN A WOMAN CENTRIC STORY ON YOUKU'S "BE YOUR OWN LIGHT"

The first episode aired on Youku, takes us into the "perfect" life of He Huan ( Liu Tao)  with her impeccable husband and beautiful, accomplished son. She is the quintessential power woman who balances work and home and has all the "perfect" things her life can bring.

As it is the tenth anniversary of her wedding, she invites all her husband and her friends and colleagues over to a surprise party that she has organized for her husband.

But her husband never turns up. Instead, she welcomes home, in front of all the guests Jiang Jun Hao ( Liu Yu Ning), who is apparently a friend of her husband's that she did not know about. And the friend who her husband had borrowed millions from.

She discovers her husband had left with his passport, money and valuables - without a trace ( after having resigned from his job and paid two years of his old father's assisted living fee).

As her friend comes to her assistance, she refuses to believe that her husband might have been cheating on her with another woman.

Coming to grapple with the situation, He Huan realizes that the disappearance of her husband was meticulously planned and executed. Her visits to his office reveal some things that leave her questioning her own knowledge of her husband. Then the other creditors hit her. Apparently, the husband had dropped OIUs around town like hotcakes and now these people were coming for her.

At the end of the first episode, Jun Hao saves her from a possible kidnapping by some "friends" of her husband.

We cannot wait to see what the rest of the show unfolds. As Liu Tao shows go, we always look forward to her portrayal of modern women who leave no crumbs.

A must-watch on Youku
