Features: Is unrequited love not love? No, of course it is love, and I believe, it is particularly love. Love, at its core, is something that belongs to one person. Actually, the love in Poisoned is not unrequited love in the truest sense; it is merely an unequal emotional relationship. However, this kind of love is poisonous. It is too agonizing, too painful, and too inhumane. But precisely because of this, this love is also effective. The intense suffering it brings can either shatter a woman further or make her more complete; for the latter, it is a form of growth. For women, the key is to grow. There is a lyric by Lin Xi that I really like: "Every love is an opportunity for self-reflection." For many women, the chance of love occurring in a lifetime is truly rare. Therefore, falling in love with someone is itself a surprise and a gain. Women should be proud of their love, and in that pride, watch themselves become richer and stronger.
