"All fairy tales are warnings for adults" - When Xie Mingting scratched Zhu Yingxi's ugly duckling sketch with a pen, no one expected that this encounter that started in the kindergarten's paddling pool would eventually overturn the scepter of the entire Asian fashion industry. **
On a rainy night when she was falsely accused of child abuse, Zhu Yingxi clutched the coffee-stained design draft and tore apart the richest family's dirtiest secrets in the control room of the Xie Group. The cries of her mother who perished in the sea of fire resurrected in every stroke of her design, turning into rivers of stars flowing on the fire-proof fabric; the crayon drawings of kindergarten children became the fatal code to defeat the AI plagiarism empire.
And the heir to the Xie family who once mocked her for "only dreaming of fairy tales" was kneeling in the ruins of a Paris haute couture show, pressing gilt cufflinks into the crown of thorns she had sewn by herself: "I should have seen clearly ten years ago that you were never the sleeping beauty waiting to be kissed to wake up -" the cracked jade pendant around his neck was dripping with corrosive liquid, "but the Snow Queen holding a poison apple."
In this class war in the name of fairy tale, the replaced surveillance video implicated the murder of relatives, and the data of biological and chemical weapons were sealed in agarwood beads. When the plagiarism lawsuit evolved into a transnational money laundering case, only the everlasting children's graffiti on Zhu Yingxi's design became the first ray of light to pierce the dark universe.
Purpose: In the steel jungle where capital and prejudice are intertwined, women use their talents as blades to temper childhood trauma into a sharp edge that breaks the cocoon. The work explores how the original pain forges the power of creation through the undercurrent of business war under the flashy surface of the fashion world. Only by breaking the shackles of the fairy tale of the "saved" can the blood-stained thorns bloom into immortal roses.
