Searching for Butterflies

They say that people blessed by Heaven will never starve.

Ye Zhiting must be the kind Heaven keeps shoving food at. She burst onto the scene at her very first appearance and promptly won the Best Actress award.

Li Yanzhen fell for her the first time he saw her on screen. He swore that she would be in his films. It had to be her. No one else would do.

Unfortunately, he couldn't afford a plane ticket home from Los Angeles.

So he put the Golden Lion trophy he'd just won up for sale on eBay.
