Summer 1993. Uninterested in school, small-town girl Wu Ni skipped her final college entrance exam and climbed aboard a Zhujiang coach. Through billowing clouds of dust, she plunged headfirst into Yangcheng, the provincial capital of Guangfu.
She had only two things on her mind: making money and seeing the wider world.
Quick-witted and outgoing, and even able to speak a little "foreign language," she was soon transferred from the restaurant's main dining hall to its private rooms, where she served Yangcheng's most prominent officials and elites.
That was how she met Zhu Ruyun, the youngest and most promising assistant in the China office of a major American cosmetics company.
The elegant Ruyun showed her the prosperous city on the banks of the Pearl River, and told her about the city beyond this city, the world beyond this world.
She also told her secrets Wu Ni had never heard before.
When a man and a man do it, that's called lechery. What about a woman and a woman?
Of course it doesn't count.
You mean you slept with your female boss? What's that supposed to mean? Does she have a mother complex?
Oh, since it doesn't count, then you can just think of it as making her a cup of tea or helping her put on a coat.
And if it doesn't count, then... what's the harm in trying?
Wu Ni didn't know that she had fallen for Ruyun, who was seven years older. She only wanted to experience the world within this world. Curious, she climbed into Ruyun's bed and let Zhu Ruyun juggle her and another woman.
She didn't know that, in this most innocent era when things between women didn't count, the desire blossoming in her heart was the most genuine kind. What happened between her and Zhu Ruyun was the most ordinary love story.
But the world had yet to call it love.
