At the turn of the century, in a changing era, the rootless port city gathered people of every kind. They came for opportunity, for wealth, or simply to earn a meal, and plunged into this turbulent city.
A Zheng, raised in a refugee district, was used to wandering and hardship, and had seen the world's warmth and cruelty. She had long since given up her pride, willing to bend for a banana.
So when a tall man in a perfectly tailored suit crouched before her and gently stroked the nape of her fragile neck with his slender fingers, she listened.
His voice was cool, but his heart was warm. Looking at her with his narrow eyes, he smiled faintly and said, "Come with me. I'll make sure you have enough to eat."
A Zheng glanced at his expensive watch and entrusted herself to him without hesitation.
Following behind him, watching his refined figure, she stepped into the world of ordinary life.

In a film industry full of sexy stars, one fresh-faced beauty was singled out and made into a star.
In less than three months, A Zheng became famous. People dug around to find out who was backing her. She knew nothing.
Onstage, she smiled brightly without giving anything away. Everyone said she had it all, but behind the scenes she struggled like a trapped beast.
She arranged to meet another man at night and boarded a ship in the middle of a storm, thinking she had escaped by sheer luck.
Then she turned and saw the man standing on the deck.
His shadow fell over her. Even drenched by the rain, his expression remained composed, his smile still courteous.
Song Lianxi gripped the nape of her neck and pinned her against the mast, where her life hung by a thread. His fingertip pressed hard against her trembling lips as he smiled and asked,
"A Zheng, when did I ever teach you to burn the bridge after crossing it?"
