Features: This book is dedicated to all who love life and long for happy love. Through the author's personal experiences and fiery passion, it tells the stories of modern urban men and women involved in extramarital affairs, one-night stands, triangular relationships, unconventional love, and discussions on same-sex ambiguities. It explores a hidden social issue: the AIDS storm caused by "sex" is quietly approaching us. Following "Lost Paradise," it is another compelling work on AIDS. Realistic, shocking, and alternative privacy. A diary of the private lives of men and women. You play others, and others play you—whom are you playing? The answer is just two words: finished! If you don't play others, others will play you—how should you play? The answer is just four words: play and finish!
1 I got married to Guo Qiang four years ago. At that time, he was a supervisor at a real estate company and was very capable. Shortly after our marriage, he was promoted to vice president. I was a fitness instructor at a body shaping club. During my university years, I participated in body shaping training and met Guo Qiang. Before meeting him, I worked at a foreign company, a typical modern white-collar woman. After marriage, to maintain my figure, I took on a part-time coaching job at a fitness club. Of course, it wasn’t for the money. My life was quite comfortable, and others envied me for having a good husband. To enjoy our own world, we decided not to have children. Perhaps, this sowed the seeds of emptiness for me later. Now, I realize it was a wrong decision. Some say I resemble Hollywood actress Garbo, the only actress I admire. She is noble by nature, with an extraordinary temperament, yet slightly melancholic—her face is like a Ravelstein novel, always evoking a heart-wrenching sense of sorrow and depression.
