A Mysterious Beauty in the Republic Era

Ye Zhiqiu tells Qi Miao that she's a doctor now, a respectable person with a reputation to uphold. Mixing with low-class actors like them will only damage her good name. Qi Miao tells Ye Zhiqiu that even doctors need a home. She's the daughter of an actor and grew up in a theater troupe. If actors are low-class, then she was born low-class. Mo Ming tells Qi Miao that the two of them are actually a perfect match. Their names together make Mo Ming Qi Miao, meaning utterly baffling, and they're just as baffling themselves. They both look perfectly proper, but are secretly devious to the core. Qi Miao tells Mo Ming that he's only half right. Put the word “not” between “perfect” and “match,” and he'd be completely right. Fire and ice don't share a stove; those on different paths cannot work together. Jin Xiang tells Qi Miao that the world can change. One day, actors will no longer be considered low-class. One day, everyone in the world will be equal. There are people working tirelessly to change the world. Qi Miao tells Jin Xiang that since he's led her down this road, she'll follow him to the end. It doesn't matter if you can't find me; I can find you instead. How laughable that Mo Ming thinks a woman's love and her beliefs are essentially the same thing.
