The world of fish is a shade of gray. You're like the poem written by Yu Xuanji: "It's easy to seek gold treasures, but hard to find a loving man." Every night under the neon lights, there's always a heavily made-up fish with obsequious and vulgar figures. Fish, how can you be redeemed?
Fish, do you know? Yu Xuanji endured her solitary life through all changes, even as shooting stars fell and tears flooded the city, her makeup remained high, her colorful flags flying, yet it never brought her a good life. To let fish forget the past and live again. Fish didn't die, but thought she would end this way. Looking at your scarred body, I ask if it hurts? You say you don't know what pain is. Fish would rather die this way. The silent endurance of fish knows that fish out of water are no longer fish. Bubbles have been blown, lips worn out. A pool of deep water mottled the shadow of fish everywhere...
Looking back, nothing remains but the lingering fragrance. But the young man wouldn't listen to fish's explanation. And you indulged yourself without dignity. How regretful, how difficult and painful it was. Don't blame me for being cruel. In this world, who wants to be stepped on?
The sorrow of fish pierced through the quiet summer night. On this gray night, no one knew the pain that fish endured that night.
Others told fish to live well. Fish, you've strayed from the right path for your life, making such unspeakable actions. Perhaps fish doesn't swim for water, but a fish without water can't survive. That butterfly-like beautiful girl, with a poetic touch, needing to breathe like a fish, would suffocate without water. The gray night brought heart-stopping pain to fish... until fish fainted from the pain and woke up in the hospital. On the day of matchmaking, a young man had a good impression of fish and began to pursue her relentlessly, which started to move fish. Who heard those anguished cries of fish? There was no more "pitying the fish at the edge of the abyss." Even though the stars lit the way, they couldn't cover the darkness. The soul died, it doesn't matter if fish lives or not. The woman waiting forlornly by the lone sail, love turned out to be so terrifying, so helpless... From the moment fish chose water, even if death, fish would turn to dust in a green wave...
The family was worried, seeing fish's daily silence and vacant gaze, they were anxious. They thought that if this continued, fish would forget who she was. Fish has been pregnant with water's child for over four months. Still, water's ruthless departure couldn't be stopped. Water said to fish: "Sorry, I must leave you. I no longer love you. She can give me everything, including money and career, which you cannot."
As the family urged, they arranged a blind date for fish. For fish, water was more precious than diamonds. Fish looked at the man in front of her, then left with a resentful look. Since then, blue melancholy and gray heaviness replaced the azure sea and blue sky.
Only those who have drowned know the feeling of suffocation. A gentle question, a deep sigh, are you, like "fish," alright?
You, like "fish," who will save you ashore?
Thus, they planned the blind date for fish. To fish, water surpassed diamonds. Fish gazed at the man in front of her, with a resentful look, and tore herself away. From that moment, blue melancholy and gray heaviness replaced the azure sea and blue sky.
Young man's face twisted, asking why fish deceived him. Fish replied she didn't know either, only found out recently.
Fish, do you know? I'm starting to get a little scared. Will "fish's" life become your life? Fish said, "I gave all my smiles to you, how can I smile at others?"
Lying on the hospital bed, fish learned the truth from others' conversations. From then on, fish would no longer be a whole woman.
I know your sorrow and helplessness, once innocent and poetic, the girl who was noble for water became the fallen fish in the swamp. What should be done? Fish aimlessly walked... Fish didn't know how to face this situation. Foolish love, fish felt her sky had never been clear... After that night, fish went home and saw the silent young man sitting on the kang. Fish sensed something was wrong, indeed, the young man threw the test report he found under fish's bed to her. Fish knew he knew everything. Fish listened, thunderstruck.
He hated how fish could treat herself this way. It's just impossible to imagine that poetic you would follow the same path as Yu Xuanji.
After hearing, do you know how my heart trembled? You're not unaware of pain, you're just numb from it.
Fish, how should I save you? Isn't it true that a fish out of water ceases to be a fish?
Doctors told fish she was pregnant.
Injured fish decided to forget memories and start breathing fresh air again.
Why did you become this way? Only you understand, only you can comprehend. Fish isn't ignorant, just loves too deeply to retreat. Just, who knows, when love turns into having loved, when fish's destiny sky keeps raining, fish's tears turn into rainwater.
Taking oneself for a fool.
Who? Directed this tragic play. If destined to be just a play, fish should turn and leave in the final act. Until the voice weakens and drifts away... The young man's strong self-respect filled his bloodshot eyes, making him lose control.
And now fish realizes. Fish, I don't know how to save you? Your tips are plenty, your body often aches, your tears are many, your false affections are abundant.
Watching others look down on you, and fish being slapped and cursed as a fox spirit, my heart is how tangled, how sad. You use your body to bring wild abandon in the glittering world, degrading yourself and bringing recklessness.
Fish, you need redemption. I once asked you, would you be willing to find other work? You said, what can you do? I know what you mean, your poetic and talented bones look down on low-paying jobs.
Watching those people, they won't give you respect, instead casually picking on you, with dirty tones.
The drifting fragrance shattered fish, shattered dreams, intoxicated red lights, intoxicated green wine. Moving years, merciless life, fish, unable to hit the shore, can only be surrounded by lingering fragrance. Are you, that fish-like woman, still okay?
Fish once thought she would stay by water's side, quietly being water's little woman forever.
Heart dead, since water left, fish ceased to be fish. Drunken life, floating up and down...
Seeing the disdainful gazes people cast upon you, and fish being slapped and cursed as a fox spirit, how conflicted and sad my heart feels. You use your body to bring wild abandon in the glittering world, degrading yourself and bringing recklessness.
Fish continues with what she thinks is enjoyment, what she considers happiness. Fish changed, falling into the swamp of decadence. Watching the family's tension made fish feel guilty, troubling the family. Fish realized how sorry she made them.
Fish sees through the male-female love in this world, sees through the filth and corruption. Thus, the angry him kicked fish's stomach, as if only by kicking fish's stomach could he vent his anger.
Disheartened fish started working at a KTV.
