1. Lin Wanlu has lost her memory. Stranded on an island with no money and seriously ill, she takes life as it comes, figuring that a year is as good as any. She makes a living by teaching.
One day, a mother and daughter arrive on the island and offer Lin Wanlu a hefty sum to tutor the girl privately.
At their first meeting, the woman is breathtakingly beautiful, radiating sensual charm. Her affectionate eyes shimmer with springlike moisture, and her cheongsam outlines her waist, exuding an intoxicating allure.
"Teacher Wanlu, I'll be counting on you from now on."
Sheng Fuying takes her daughter's hand and kisses Lin Wanlu on the cheek.
A subtle fragrance drifts through the air, captivating the heart.
The little girl is as pretty as a doll. Eager to try, she leans in to kiss Lin Wanlu's cheek too, but her mother gently covers her mouth.
With her back to Lin Wanlu, Sheng Fuying smiles sweetly, a dark, possessive desire flashing in her eyes.
2. Lin Wanlu is frail and often ill, and after class she's utterly exhausted.
Sheng Fuying kindly invites her to take a nap. "If you don't mind, Teacher Wanlu, why not sleep in my room?"
Flattered, Lin Wanlu falls fast asleep in the large bed, surrounded by a cool, heady jasmine scent.
She has no idea that someone has unbuttoned her pajamas and is secretly kissing her heart.
3. "Teacher, my mom often sneaks away to cry. Could you comfort her?"
Her student has asked, so Lin Wanlu naturally agrees.
But somehow, while comforting Sheng Fuying, she ends up rolling around in bed with her.
Afterward, Lin Wanlu can't get out of bed.
Sheng Fuying massages her hands, filled with tenderness and guilt. "I've gone so long without a lover. I couldn't control myself."
Lin Wanlu comes to her senses, mortified. "That's not the point. You have a wife..."
Sheng Fuying props her chin on her hand and smiles without answering, her fingers gliding over the glaring scar on her lover's chest.
That's right. If her darling hadn't run away from her, she wouldn't have gone five years without a lover.
