Fu Shuhua sempre acreditou que Jiang Dian era uma canária delicada, obediente e facilmente manipulável. Na vida dela, o ato mais ousado que já cometera foi escapar do controle do dono e sair por vontade própria. Mas, mais tarde, ele descobriu que a personalidade de Jiang Dian era apenas uma fachada criada especialmente para ele. Na verdade, ela era uma rosa selvagem, rebelde e cheia de vontade própria. Ele a via todos os dias, cada vez mais desinibida e distante de seu controle, cada vez mais falsa e indiferente. Com o tempo, toda a cidade começou a comentar que Fu Shuhua havia enlouquecido.

My throat burned, and it wasn't until my agent, Brother Ji, handed me a glass of water that I managed to steady myself.
The little starlet’s surname was Liang, named Liang Lei. Word had it that she was once a notorious escort in the Northwest circles, having climbed her way up through "sub-rules" (sexual favors). I don't know how she caught Fu Shuhua’s eye, but he had insisted on dumping an S-plus production budget on her, seemingly determined to make her a star at any cost.
