A Filthy, Brazen Woman

(Told from multiple perspectives, with shifts in identity.)

My name is Miaomiao. I’m a dirty woman who’s done plenty of dirty things.

And it was those very things that eventually brought me fame and fortune.

I was born in a small county town. To put it plainly, I was a little delinquent.

I was poor and selfish, and, well… pretty awful, too.

But I didn’t care. All I knew was that I had to be able to put food on the table. I had no time to worry about anything else.

At school, everyone else dressed beautifully, while I had to wear old hand-me-downs from the older guy next door. Even so, plenty of boys were attracted to me, because I was pretty.

That was the one thing I’d had over other people, from childhood onward.

Much like the world as I saw it: beautiful, wretched, and full of temptation.

And it was this pretty face that kept me at the center of attention, always in the eye of the storm.
