Life after marriage is a chicken feather, Rodden was originally a playboy, and he also owed a debt, and Xia Po was anxious about debt every day, anxious about his son's future.
Originally, both of them were very young, and with their talents, they continued to work hard and slowly lived a good life.
But Xia Po could not wait, she did not take the formal path, but began to mix in Vanity Fair again, using her beauty and cunning, circling around one man after another, becoming a social flower in the eyes of the nobility.
Good at drilling camps, relying on deception and flattery, wandering in the upper class, and actually won the admiration of the king, this decade of time, is her most brilliant time, with more and more money, higher and higher status, dignity and personality are lost little by little, completely reduced to the playthings of the nobility.

She also used her own tragic price to tell her friend Amelia to cherish the Dubin who had accompanied her for 18 years, so that her friend knew how important it was to cherish a person.
Ma Liang sang in "The Rest of Your Life": "For the rest of your life, the wind and snow are you, the plain is you, the poverty is also you, the glory is you, the gentleness in the heart is you, and the gaze is also caused by you."
Vast sea of people, I don't know how many times to look back, to be able to meet the person you love the most, to meet the person who is full of you, meet, don't wait until you lose, only to learn to cherish.

Although she married a man she loved and loved her young and handsome husband, she did not know how to cherish it, and hooked up with one upper-class man after another behind her husband's back.
Xia Po also did not ask his son Little Roden, afraid that this oil bottle would block his way to Vanity Fair, Xia Po dedicated his good songs and piano sounds to the noble men, but never played a good song for his son, and even sent his son to a distant boarding school, leaving him without maternal love and living alone.
She finally climbed into high society, but she lost her husband and son, did not fulfill the duties of a wife and mother, and lived without dignity for fame and fortune, is this monotonous and barren life without friendship, affection, and friendship a happy and happy life?
When a person's heart only has fame and fortune, it is doomed to lose the most precious emotions in the world, and when it is materially rich, its own spirit is so empty and lonely, missing the real beauty of the world, it is a greatest regret.
With fame and profit, although he briefly got what Xia Po wanted, in the end it was just a dream of Huang Liang, and only friendship, family affection, and love were the most precious wealth in the world, living and living, long and long.
Fame and fortune, nothing more than one of the thousands of choices in life, desire is always filled with the bottomless pit of dissatisfaction, when the pursuit of fame and fortune makes women pay such a price, bringing only pain, women in the face of desire, do not be tempted by fame and fortune, lost in the continuous demand for self.
Ango Sakaguchi once said: "Half of the unsatisfactory things in life come from not being able to ask for it, and half from getting and wanting." No one lives a life that goes as they please, so everyone thinks that others are happier than themselves. ”
Happiness is an ability, happiness than others is only a desire, rather than comparing happiness to others, it is better to grasp the happiness in their own hands, women can not use money and status as an excuse, lose the bottom line, can not in the name of desire, lose dignity.
Contentment and happiness, less desire is a blessing, let us learn to forget those who do not get, cherish what we already have, keep our bottom line and principles, in order to have that true self, will we feel the happiness of the shadow.
