Features: Teacher Mili'er, the first campus mystery novel, personally written and recommended by Cao Wenxuan, a doctoral supervisor at Peking University's Department of Chinese Language and Literature. Mili'er is a beautiful girl born in the 1970s who longs for a colorful social life. During her university years, she worked as a model, appeared in advertisements, performed in karaoke bars, and frequented fashionable entertainment venues. She was willful, carefree, innocent, and stubborn—unlike traditional societal norms. But under pressure, she entered a municipal key high school and became an ordinary middle school teacher.
Standing in the heart of her hometown, Mili'er felt everything around her was unfamiliar and fresh. Towering skyscrapers, neon-lit bars and lounges, brightly lit restaurants and hotels, and street women in heavy makeup lined the streets. A dazzling stream of new sports cars zipped past one after another on the main roads. The air was filled with a sense of confusion and restlessness. She felt as if she had been transported to a distant southern city, a place full of temptation, like an ancient fable that sent shivers down her spine. Everything seemed like a dream.
Mili'er composed herself and stared intently at the door. She had already seen the flickering shadows inside, the lively scene of clinking glasses and merriment. To her, the door was like the mythical Pandora's Box—once opened, it would reveal countless unexpected things.
There is always a moment in life when strangers begin to shine. Mili'er remembered the opening line of "Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck": "The show is about to begin!"
