What’s an ordinary person’s first reaction when a famous actress won’t leave them alone?
Sucking up to her, flattering her, currying favor, getting rich, and living a life of luxury without a care in the world?
No! Of course you run!
Otherwise, when her crazed fans come after you, you won’t even know how you died. Your personal details will be all over the place, and they’ll harass everyone from your cousins to your ancestors going back eight generations.
Her little temple can’t possibly hold a deity like that.
But this deity happens to love playing the waiting game.
Turns out she’s an evil deity, haunting me day in and day out.
Other actors charge by the hour. The famous actress seems to charge by the line. Shi Wen is dirt poor, so all she gets each time is the same old question.
“Decided what you want tattooed?” That’s what she always asked three years ago.
“Are you happy today?” That’s what she always asks three years later.
Three years ago, she never imagined she’d have a brief fling with someone so far above her station.
Just as three years later, she never imagined that when they met again, the other woman would cling to her like a ghost all over again.
And now she’s even showing off, in front of everyone, how close they are, openly and behind the scenes.
Which one of us is the celebrity here?!
On that night three years ago, when rain poured down in torrents, Shi Wen made the first move.
On this snowy morning three years later, the wind and snow still couldn’t freeze her love for Shi Wen.
Their feelings began to freeze when they parted, but even after more than three years, they’ve been preserved just as they were.
The day she learned they might meet again, the ice cracked, and longing grew into a parasitic vine that hollowed out her heart.
Even if the production team won’t give Shi Wen a chance, she’ll find a way to bring her onto the set.
She misses her. That’s all.
That summer, she met someone who was like winter, and the heat of summer couldn’t melt her.
Now they’ve reunited in winter, and the bitter cold has turned her into a trembling coward.
But it’s all right. At least Li Yu is bold. She has plenty of ways to drag Shi Wen back out.
Since parting is inevitable, no matter how winding the path may be, it can all be forgiven.
