"As such, Yan Jiayin's character would be an innocent schoolgirl at the very beginning, but afterward, because of the changes in her environment, she got to know the dance hostess Ying Ying. She was still a student then. It was just because she got to know Ying Ying that the people she met and the environment she was in changed. Her world views changed. She got into the debauched world of drinks and entertainment, which was completely different from her small world at first.
"She started to feel conflicted and she struggled. She had materialistic desires, yet she did not want to become depraved as a result, because deep down, she still looked down on professions like that of a dance hostess, who made a living off of entertaining others and who also dealt with the risks of prostituting herself," the screenwriter said. "You can try designing the makeup for Yan Jiayin's character during this period."
The context of the story was set in the period of the early Republic.
