Gu Yi (Luo Zheng) is the demanding and seemingly cold CEO of the Anxia Group, a successful real estate developer. His personal assistant is the quick-thinking, strong, and independent Qian Jing (He Rui Xian). Together, the CEO and his assistant make a powerful team, and their working relationship allows them to land lucrative contracts with relative ease. They have been working together for several years, and, eventually, their relationship became romantic.
But while Gu Yi seems calculating and aloof, he is actually a very troubled individual. A car accident has left him with trauma, and the events of that fateful day haunt his thoughts and dreams. This has left him with deep emotional scars and sometimes extreme mood swings. And that makes him volatile and possessive, particularly toward Qian Jing. For her own part, Qian Jing is also haunted by ghosts from her past. As her boss/lover’s temper becomes more erratic, Qian Jing finds herself unsure as to whether she should stay with him, or walk out for good. With love rivals also on the scene, trouble is brewing for this duo. Can love help them out of this quandary?

Both MLs are wealthy, FLs are from a middle class loving family and the two become involved due to strange circumstances. The MLs start out toxic and cruel and then truly fall in love with the FL and are willing to give up everything for her. The SFLs are the ML's childhood friends and fiancées and a performer (ballerina vs. pianist) who become obsessed with the ML and determined to drive the FL away. Both FLs become pregnant and suffer a miscarriage due to an accident caused by the SFL. There is a SML who is always around the FL and comes to her rescue.
- Main leads were romantically together at the start (SD does not have a chronological time line but the flashbacks show the leads as a couple).
- ML comes from a rich family and is in a high position (in SD he is an orphan therefore there is no family drama about arranged marriage but in SaB there is).
- ML starts off as really toxic, his love for the FL seems more like an obsession, this is one of the reasons they break up at the start.
- SD focuses a lot on the ML's character development, but in SaB the ML stops being toxic almost out of nowhere.
- SML and FL are close in both dramas (in SD they were a couple in SaB they were only good friends in the past).
- The ML stops being toxic and tries everything to get back with the FL. Once they finally get back together, they stay together through thick and thin.

Synopsis ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????
The drama tells the story of how an ordinary girl Xia Guo chooses when faced with two different choices, and what happens. The drama is presented in parallel time and space. The different choices of the heroine will lead to different endings.There are the challenges and dilemmas of the big city; but on the other hand, there is the stability and triviality of the small town. In life it is always necessary to make concessions, without fear of loss, and moving forward to embrace that sense of the "extraordinary." If life could have other versions, and the "if" could be experienced, what would it look like? The drama realizes this "if" so that the heroine experiences two lives in parallel. How she will handle those choices is the big question.
"I live elsewhere" (from original title in chinese).
