· Rising Director × Seductive Award-Winning Actress
Taciturn Academic × Flirtatious, Tragic Beauty
(The recipient seems flirtatious on the surface, but cannot form intimate relationships)
In her third year of college, Li Sizhi went to a bar to pick up her roommate, who was dead drunk, and ran into Liang Zhu.
The famous award-winning actress sat in a corner, chatting and laughing with her friends. Dim light streamed down from above, illuminating her radiant, imperious face.
Li Sizhi didn't follow the entertainment industry, but she did follow film.
Every frame of Liang Zhu's skirt fluttering across the screen had been etched into her mind. Her years-long unrequited crush couldn't compare to the shock she felt at their first meeting.
One surprise followed another.
Liang Zhu happened to look up and meet her eyes. A week later, she received a wedding invitation from the woman.
Li Sizhi had no reason to refuse.
They registered their marriage, moved in together, kissed, and went to bed, just like ordinary people.
Watching Liang Zhu's distant gaze, Li Sizhi felt as if she were a mute, unable to speak. The only thing that came to mind was a poem: "A devouring passion burns through my whole body like a flame. My vision goes black, my ears ring, my mind roars."
"All I can see is love and madness."
A muse and a dream bestowed by heaven.
Li Sizhi was more than willing to be the wife who stood by Liang Zhu's side and served her, until she accidentally overheard Liang Zhu talking to someone at the film set.
"She's purer than anyone I've ever met. So innocent. I just wanted to see if someone like her could give me pleasure."
Those harsh words came from lips as soft and alluring as ever.
"After trying it, I realized you can't spend your whole life with pleasure alone." Liang Zhu lowered her eyes slightly, her smile still as bright and enticing as ever. "Besides, I read her diary. She's just a woman who covets fame and fortune."
"I've started to hate being touched like that."

Li Sizhi didn't understand. If Liang Zhu had really read her diary and seen the surging, overwhelming love inside, how could she still think Li Sizhi was a woman who coveted fame and fortune?
Her whole body numb, she walked home. Before the pain came, she found herself packing her bags.
Getting soaked in the rain, giving in to despair, drinking heavily, falling ill. Li Sizhi finally lived through a stretch of life that didn't go according to plan, and Liang Zhu disappeared from her life.
But Liang Zhu was the only one who knew that this was something she couldn't make disappear.
It would never disappear from her memory, not for the rest of her life.
