-Blurb tentative as of 25.10.1
At not even twenty years old, Shen Shijiu wins the international award for Best Actress with the very first film she makes as a newcomer. Fame and offers come pouring in.
The media all ask what kind of role she wants to take on next.
"A film about women who love women," Shen Shijiu answers with a smile.
Everyone is astonished by her answer, then asks, "If you got to make that film, who would you most want to work with?"
"Senior Shen Ruzhen." Shen Shijiu answers at once. "I know every one of her films by heart. She's my favorite actress."
A reporter who once interviewed Shen Ruzhen is immediately shocked, remembering a secret she glimpsed backstage at an awards ceremony five years ago.
Back then, Shen Shijiu was not yet a Best Actress basking in the limelight. Wearing her school uniform, her eyes red, she screamed at Shen Ruzhen, who appeared expressionless and utterly heartless.
"Mom, I hate you."
Reading guide:
1. Ruzhen is sixteen years older than Shijiu. They are not related by blood, and she is neither her mother nor her biological older sister.
2. An indulgence of my deepest tastes, with an exceptionally tangled, agonizing love story full of emotional push and pull.
Theme: Meeting is the best kind of fate
