Using time as the latitude and longitude, it connects the group portraits of legendary women in the Chinese film and art circles from the 1970s to the present. The work salvages memories from the film dust and details Brigitte Lin's transformation from Qiong Yao Girl to Ashes of Time, Maggie Cheung's acting skills honed in In the Mood for Love, Gong Li's strong imprint on the international film industry as an Oriental muse, and the original aspiration of the people's art that older generation artists such as Ding Feng have adhered to despite the ups and downs of the times.

The book not only lists the glory, but also uses gentle writing to sneak into the loneliness and stubbornness before and after the stage - how those faces under scrutiny wrestle with the years outside the camera, and explore the right to define themselves in the gaps of the fame and fortune fair. From the golden years of Hong Kong to the rise of mainland film history, in half a century of light and shadow, "beauty" is no longer a fragile symbol to be viewed, but a living entity that carries the weight of the times and the awakening of women. This book uses frozen pictures to outline the aesthetic migration of Oriental elegance from gracefulness to majesty, and witnesses how they live out of the spotlight and become untamed legends.
Purpose: To break the old narrative of "beauties have bad luck" and reconstruct the oriental female aesthetic pedigree with "self-definition" as the core.
