At university, she was the most ordinary girl in the crowd, with thick glasses and long bangs. And yet she fell for Fu Yan, an untouchable senior from a distinguished family. Like a sparrow in love with a swan, she pursued Fu Yan relentlessly for two whole years. The night Fu Yan finally agreed, Zhu Cijing was so happy she felt as if the stars in the whole world had fallen on her. She never expected Fu Yan to break up with her soon afterward. Only then did Zhu Cijing learn that Fu Yan had always had someone else in her heart, a long-time crush who was finally about to become her partner. Zhu Cijing had been nothing but an obstacle on their road to love, a bit of amusement. After entering the workforce, Zhu Cijing had fiery red hair and a bold, alluring air. She was all claws and teeth. A beautiful woman like a sea enchantress, she wore a long trench coat and high heels, gliding gracefully from one date to another. Yet one drunken night, emboldened by alcohol, she called her awful ex and gave her a furious tongue-lashing. Then, the following Monday, her new client turned out to be her awful ex, Fu Yan. Director Fu was beautiful and elegant, standing out from the crowd like a black swan, but her detached gaze was enough to infuriate Zhu Cijing at first sight. Yes, yes, Fu Yan came from a powerful family, like the moon in the sky, and everyone was hopelessly in love with her. But hadn't they agreed to cut ties for good? Why was her awful ex coming to her uninvited, only to end up in bed with her? Their lips and tongues tangled in the dark. Gripping Fu Yan by the collar, Zhu Cijing glared at her through red-rimmed eyes and spat, "Fu Yan, you're nothing but a bit of amusement, too." Fu Yan simply let Zhu Cijing have her way, kissing her intently. "All right." Zhu Cijing had too many regrets. She thought she'd hidden them well behind designer bags and a pretty face. Until she met Fu Yan again. Theme: Taking light steps across a heavy story.
