In the deepest part of Shen Le's mobile photo album, there is a hidden folder without a name.
In that folder were several different women she had been secretly obsessed with over the past eight years.
The largest space belongs to a classical dance principal wearing ink-colored practice clothes, surnamed Liang.
There are a few smaller ones next to him - the female lecturer who taught "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" in college, the gym kickboxing coach, and the girl who washed her hair at the barber shop half a year ago.
She told herself every time: This time is different, this time it is true.
She doesn't know——
The harmless-looking little sun sitting at the desk next to her, a colleague named Su——
He started saving her things seven years before her.
Five people. Five paranoias. Five types of self-deception.
They thought they were selecting their prey.
In fact, they were all five chess pieces that were gently pressed onto the same table by the same hand.
Purpose: The five characters' paranoia and self-deception about "special attention" analyze contemporary urban women who repeatedly marinate themselves in the shell of "I am a normal person" and eventually lose the ability to "stop". This work is intended to be a warning: every self-persuasion that "this time is different" is a further deviation from the true self; the real price lies not in the ending, but in the second when I find that I can no longer look back.
