Wild Gardenias in the Mud

"I want money, not love."

"How much do you want? I'll give it to you. Let me have some fun with you."

"Have fun with me...?" Xia Zhi hesitated.

With a slap, the money hit Xia Zhi in the face and scattered across the floor.

She knelt down and picked up the bills one by one, without a trace of shame.

Mixing with all kinds of men, Xia Zhi learned to play along, to cater to men's emotions, and to flatter them.

She did it all for money.

She never expected that after years of hunting eagles, she would be blinded by one.

While playing along, Xia Zhi developed real feelings.

She went crazy for him.

She gave up everything for him.

She had an abortion for him.

And he...

Yet the moment Xia Zhi turned around, she realized...

Though her heart held love, she would never be loved in return.

The man she could never bring herself to forget became the deepest wound in Xia Zhi's heart.
