Around the Bamboo

Theatrical version:

Xiang Yao tiptoed forward, crouching as she crept quietly beneath the window.

She had heard that Luo Xiao was back from a business trip, and planned to surprise him by suddenly appearing.

The window was half open, and the light white curtains billowed in the breeze.

Behind them, a curvaceous silhouette leaned against the wall. Faint sounds slipped out, bewitching and broken, never quite joining together.

Xiang Yao recognized the voice as that of the deceased elder brother of the Luo family’s wife.

Then a man's voice rang out. "Did you miss me?"

His low, seductive voice seemed to linger along her snow-white back.

Xiang Yao dropped to the ground, breaking out in a cold sweat.

The serious version:

A story about two people with nowhere to turn becoming each other's support.

Luo Xiao had always been cold and ruthless, putting his own interests first.

He had no interest in romance. On the rare occasions he got involved, it was only a means to an end.

But when Fang Qinzhu gazed at him with sultry eyes and laughingly asked what he would do if she refused to listen,

he still couldn't resist falling into her orbit.

Fang Qinzhu's heart was like an empty house, drafty on every side, collapsing before it could be repaired.

If she ever found love again, she was determined not to simply go along with the current.

But fate overcorrected. On the day she decided Luo Xiao was the one, she braced herself to be swept away by a tidal wave.

* Ruthless, cool big shot & gentle, steadfast woman

* Once again, falling for the person one shouldn't love

* A new romance begins only after the previous relationship has ended

Theme: Always be true to yourself
