Chang Li can't forget the sight of her gray couture gown, displayed without a shred of cover for the whole world to see.
It was a work through which she vented her emotions, a vessel for her ugly character. This was the disgusting dress that brought her acclaim and made her famous at a young age.
She drifted aimlessly through the fashion world for over a decade, long since sick of all its so-called glamour.
At last, on a rainy night, something inside her snapped.
She fled to a place called Luowa, much like herself, sinking into the mire.
She thought she would leave the fashion world behind for good, but then she met that silly boy.
He looked up to her as if she were the stars and the moon, chasing after her even through the lonely nights.
When the lights went out and no one was around, Chang Li finally picked up the old Luowa garment embroidered with totems and kissed it.
Only then did she realize how long she had buried her longing.
