Cai Qin, a Taiwanese actress who was active in 1957, has shown amazing musical talent since she was a child. When she was 22 years old, folk song competitions in Taiwan sprung up. Cai Qin has a firm dream in her heart, that is, to win the guitar she has loved for a long time. So, she decided to sign up for a folk song contest hosted by Haishan Records.
In this fierce competition, Cai Qin shocked the judges with her outstanding performance, and her unique and infectious voice left a deep impression on people. In the end, Cai Qin successfully stepped into this singing field full of challenges and opportunities with an excellent score of fourth place.
As expected, in just her first year of debut, she quickly became popular with a gripping song "Just Like Your Tenderness", earning the reputation and popularity she coveted.
However, while Cai Qin's music career is thriving, her private life seems a little bleak. From childhood to adulthood, Cai Qin has always maintained a simple and introverted boy image - short hair, neat hair, wearing thick glasses, and his complexion is not fair. Some magazines even openly ridiculed her, questioning her appearance, believing that she might die alone.
However, a twist of fate came quietly in the summer of 1984. That year, a talented director, Yang Dechang, happened to hear that Cai Qin was recording a new album in the recording studio, and he was attracted by Cai Qin's sexy and charming voice, and he was deeply fascinated by it.
Yang Dechang immediately began to look for a suitable heroine for his upcoming new film "Childhood Sweetheart", and finally he couldn't suppress his excitement and sent an invitation to Cai Qin: "Would you like to join my new drama as the heroine?" Your singing voice is so beautiful, and I'm sure you have the best sex appeal in you. ”
Faced with this sudden invitation, Cai Qin felt at a loss for a while. She knows that her appearance is not outstanding, her self-evaluation is relatively low, and she has never set foot in the film and television industry. However, Yang Dechang's sincere and direct praise was like a beam of light illuminating her heart, and she was convinced that she had finally found the right person, so she accepted Yang Dechang's invitation without hesitation to join his new film team.
Completely different from the bright future that Cai Qin envisions, Yang Dechang seems hesitant and hesitant to deal with his own emotional problems. On the one hand, at that time, his directing career was in its infancy, and he had to devote himself to it, which was indispensable with a lot of time and energy. On the other hand, he had experienced a failed marriage, which filled his heart with fear when he re-entered the marriage hall.
What's more critical is that Yang Dechang's feelings for Cai Qin are real, he himself can't be sure, and he can't tell whether this is sincere love or just from an appreciation of her outstanding singing talent.
In the face of Cai Qin's passionate and persistent pursuit, Yang Dechang began to fall into a dilemma, and his heart was full of contradictions. Sometimes, he gives Cai Qin a glimmer of hope, but more often, he is hesitant and capricious.
Cai Qin's perseverance only exacerbated Yang Dechang's inner anxiety, and he was afraid of losing his right-hand man and staunch supporter.
In the end, one day in 1985, Cai Qin could no longer bear the inner torment, she found Yang Dechang and issued him an ultimatum in an extremely serious tone: "Either we get married, or we break up!" Then, she completely handed over the decision to Yang Dechang.
Cai Qin thought she was mentally prepared for the worst, but when she plucked up the courage to press the button of the answering machine, Yang Dechang's helpless and vague words made her collapse instantly: "How do you want me to answer?" In the face of the sincere confession of the woman he loved, Yang Dechang wanted to speak and stopped, lest he avoid it.
Despite this, Cai Qin still can't let go of this feeling. Under her constant urging, Yang Dechang reluctantly made a choice and walked into the palace of marriage hand in hand with her.
However, how can a man who is hesitant and unwilling to give love you with all his heart? Cai Qin apparently didn't realize this at the time.
For most people, marriage symbolizes a new beginning, but for Cai Qin, her newlywed life is destined to be full of hardships and twists and turns. On the wedding night, Yang Dechang made an absurd request to her - they need to maintain a "platonic" marriage relationship, that is, there must be no physical intimacy with each other, only to maintain spiritual love, and devote themselves to their respective work.
After listening to these heartfelt words, Cai Qin's heart was deeply shocked and incredulous, however, after a brief hesitation, she finally decided to follow Yang Dechang's wish, understanding the full value of praising this great love. So, the "platonic" couple who got married, spent year after year together.
Cai Qin's heart was naturally full of unwillingness, however, out of her deep love for Yang Dechang, she never chose to retreat in the face of such an absurd situation. On the contrary, in order to fully support her husband's career development, she did her best to use her network resources to introduce friends, find opportunities, raise funds, and wholeheartedly promote Yang Dechang's artistic creation.
It is with Cai Qin's selfless help that Yang Dechang has achieved twice the result with half the effort in every step. His excellent works have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and he has quickly emerged in the Taiwanese film industry, known as "the most influential master of the 90s", and even made a name for himself in the international film industry.
However, just as Yang Dechang's career territory continues to expand, the married life that Cai Qin can enjoy is gradually becoming unattainable. Whenever she recalled Yang Dechang's attitude towards her indifference and detachment, her heart was filled with endless grief. However, when she reflected on the sacrifices and dedication she had made for him, she felt that it was all worth it.
In this way, year after year, ten years passed quietly, Cai Qin still stuck to Yang Dechang's side and never left. She seems to have grown accustomed to this nominal "platonic" marriage, devoting all her passion and energy to her musical career.
However, while Cai Qin paid deep affection to Yang Dechang, the latter's heart had already begun to wander, and he had lost his original interest in this marriage. It wasn't until 1994 that a key turning point was when Yang Dechang met a pianist Peng Kaili, who was 18 years younger than him, and fell in love with this woman with outstanding looks and unique tastes overnight.
Although Cai Qin devoted herself to this marriage, Yang Dechang's heart had already wandered away. An event in 1994 became the fuse for the breakdown of the relationship between Cai Qin and Yang Dechang.
At that time, Yang Dechang was as excited as digging a treasure, and accidentally met a young pianist Peng Kaili, who was 18 years younger than him. Cai Qin's charming demeanor, unique taste and elegant temperament made him instantly fall in love with it and couldn't extricate himself!
Pang Kaili, an outstanding woman who had a similar overseas study experience to Yang Dechang, loves red wine, movies and music, and Yang Dechang's interests are a match made in heaven. What's more important is that Peng Kaili is tall and has a delicate face, which is simply the perfect embodiment of the ideal goddess in Yang Dechang's heart.
Yang's obsession with Peng Kaili is in stark contrast to his indecision to pursue Cai Qin in the first place. He didn't hesitate to find Cai Qin and told her bluntly: "Let's get a divorce, because I'm already in love with someone else." Faced with this sudden news, Cai Qin obviously couldn't accept it, she cried bitterly in front of Yang Dechang, and her words were confused.
However, in strong contrast to Cai Qin's grief, Yang Dechang is full of joy in his heart at the moment. He can't wait to show the world the true face of Peng Kaili, spend quality time with the woman he loves, and enjoy the glory and sweetness of love brought by career success.
It wasn't long before the intricate relationship between the three became the focus of media attention. Major media outlets have reported on this bizarre love triangle in the form of headlines, and countless people are deeply sympathetic to Cai Qin's experience.
However, Cai Qin chose to bear all this pain alone. One day, while she was hosting the show, a phone call from an enthusiastic viewer broke her down. "Ms. Cai Qin, how are you doing now?" This concerned greeting from a stranger instantly broke down her strong defense, and tears fell like rain.
Indeed, instead of enduring Yang Dechang's ruthless harm to her for a long time, it is better to bravely let go and end this marriage that exists in name only. Therefore, on August 5, 1995, Cai Qin and Yang Dechang officially announced the end of this 10-year "platonic" marriage.
After the divorce, Cai Qin was lonely, and she even had the idea of quitting the music scene and seeking relief. She thought she could quickly get rid of the shadow of this relationship, but it turned out that the trauma of this relationship was far beyond imagination, and it took her a full 3 years to finally break free from the pain.
In stark contrast to the incomparable pain experienced by Cai Qin, Yang Dechang enjoyed an extremely comfortable life. He quickly entered the palace of marriage with Peng Kaili, and soon ushered in the crystallization of love - a lovely son.
Regarding the long ten-year marriage with Cai Qin, when someone asked about Yang Dechang, he responded coldly: "The ten-year relationship is as empty as a blank piece of paper." Hearing this, Cai Qin's heart must have surged with irrepressible anger and deep heartache. She dedicated her best youth to Yang Dechang, but in the end she was so ruthlessly hurt and betrayed.
