Green Plums and Sour Plums

In the midsummer of my sophomore year, cicadas were noisily chirping. In the warm season, I met a boy who shook my entire youth. At that time, I was deeply trapped in low self-esteem and cowardice, and kept all my thoughts in my heart, letting go of my only opportunity to confess. After that separation, I secretly felt sad that maybe we would never meet again in the rest of our lives. Three years passed quickly. With my stage name Mu Yao, I established myself in the entertainment industry, climbed all the way to the top, won an Academy Award, and became a household name as an international movie queen. Everyone thought that I would take advantage of the momentum to delve into the field of film and television and continue to achieve career breakthroughs. However, I made an official announcement on Weibo and decided to temporarily stop and take a break. The news quickly aroused heated discussions across the Internet, and various outrageous speculations followed. Rumors were spreading around the world. Some people rumored that I was retiring to prepare for my wedding. There were even malicious slanderous voices spreading rumors, claiming that I had violated the interests of the industry and was about to be banned. In the hustle and bustle of speculation, only best friend Song Wan understands the truth. After losing the dazzling star shell of Mu Yao, I, whose real name is Yan Xi, went to the desolate northwest alone to devote myself to desert sand control charity where few female stars have set foot. In the Gobi Desert where the yellow sand is rolling, we meet again by fate. When we meet again after three years, our identities are completely different. He was stationed in the desert and wore a military uniform to become a resolute school officer; I took off the spotlight and buried myself in the sand to plant trees. A fellow volunteer casually took a picture of the scene and posted it online on Mu Yao, who is rooted in desert labor. Entries flooded the screen rapidly, directly causing the platform to be temporarily paralyzed. Public opinion has completely reversed, and netizens lamented that it turns out that fading out of the screen is not about compromising and escaping from the world.
