This century is mad, inhuman, and utterly corrupt;

Yet you have remained clear-eyed, gentle, and spotless.

-Francoise Sagan

1. Music-box fairy × flirtatious movie star

A music box brought light into Xu Yunshan’s dark world, but it later disappeared after an accident. Then, suddenly, he saw a fairy-like figure, exactly as he remembered.

Backstage on set, the movie star pins her between his arms, his eyes bloodshot. “Are you still pretending you don’t know me?”

Ten years later, beneath brilliant fireworks, Zhuo Chuan closes in dangerously. “How could you just leave and abandon me here for ten years?”
