Bullied and abused, Lu Mianmian wrote in her diary with a broken heart:
Why does every princess in every fairy tale fall in love with a prince?
I’m waiting for a knight. He doesn’t have to be handsome, and he doesn’t have to be rich.
All I ask is that he comes falling from the sky and hands me a rose.
I’ll tell him,
I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.
-
“Why are you so good to me?”
“Because I believe a knight will eventually marry the princess who belongs to him.”
“I’m not a princess. I’m just a wisp of cotton, light as dust.”
“I’m not a knight, either. I’m not handsome, and I’m very rich. But I still want to say I’m sorry. I’m sorry I kept you waiting.”

One night after his confession, Lu Mianmian, who never let anyone see her without makeup, took it off in front of Cheng Xinghe. On her clean, fair face was a scar, faded by time but still clearly visible.
“She thought I liked her only for her looks. In truth, from that first fleeting glimpse, I had already fallen into a sky full of stars. From then on, I changed my name for this first meeting that only I knew about.”, Cheng Xinghe
