In the millennium of Yanjing, Shendu is the most lonely place in Lan Kwai Fong.
She danced, set the price, and sold herself for 51.2 Million.
Lu Yanzhou is a famous prince in Sijiu City. He spent 1.2 Million, thinking he bought a canary.
He built her a dance studio, gave her a music box, and gave her the Zippo engraved by her father for safekeeping. He knelt down to put an anklet on her, crouched under the locust tree and listened to her say Zhao Yan's name, and crouched at her feet all night, like a beast guarding something.
He thought he was taming her.
Until that day, she threw a stack of information in front of him.
"Lu Yanzhou, I have been plotting against you from beginning to end."
"Five million. My passport. And - don't come to me again."
He squatted in the moonlight and said, "Okay."
Later she went to New York and became an upstart in the financial world. She remained unmarried throughout her life.
He married a well-matched woman, and they were married for fifteen years. Finally, he rode a Harley to Dunhuang alone.
Many years later, someone asked Lu Yanzhou what kind of woman Shen Du was.
He opened and closed the Zippo. The flame jumped and went out.
"She's the kind of woman who, even though you know she's plotting against you, will still risk all your wealth on her."
The man asked again: Does she love you?
He didn't answer.
He remembered that one snowy night, she stood under the locust tree in the courtyard, looking up at the moon. He stood three steps behind her and heard her say something very softly.
The wind was so strong that he didn't hear clearly.
It took many years for him to figure it out——
That sentence may be the only time in her life that she tells the truth.
Concept: A story about a woman who climbed out of hell and trampled underfoot those who once looked down on her. She doesn't need anyone to save her. She only saves herself.
