Beautiful Female Lead
Away from Love
The woman who lived across from us was beautiful, with a captivating, mature allure.
Every man in the building was bewitched by her. Only my husband scoffed.
But when the elevator suddenly plunged,
he completely forgot about me and our daughter. He turned around and pulled her tightly into his arms.
So tightly it was as if he wanted to press her into his own body.
The Bodhisattva’s Curtain
I was a female scripture teacher who recited sutras for the madam of the household.
Yet in the middle of the night, someone cornered me behind the incense-draped curtains and asked me who was better-looking: him or the Bodhisattva.
That night, I did not choose the Bodhisattva.
Unfortunately, after barely three months, he came to bid me farewell.
I thought he had simply grown tired of me, so I agreed without fuss.
From then on, he lived beneath the glow of red lanterns, lost in endless pleasure, while I returned alone to the ancient Buddha and my solitary lamp.
Who would have thought that later, when he learned I had been drowned in a pond… He went mad.
