"Yazhu! Yazhu!! This is not the time to fall asleep!" Mo Yazhu felt a painful headache as her manager tried to wake her up. She opened her eyes and the light attacked her eyes. She squinted as she looked to the side to see her younger version of her manager. She was plump and her eyes were mature and youthful. Nothing like what she had remembered. "Wei Meng?" "Hm?" Wei Meng looked at Mo Yazhu confused. "Is something wrong? We're  leaving in five minutes." Mo Yazhu looked around herself and felt a sense of deja vu. She walked in the mirror in front of hier and her heart went cold. She did not need to see the date to know what day this was. The conformation of her success and the start of her tragedy. She looked at the elegant blue dress that hung nimbly on herself and frowned. She recalled just the trouble this little dress would cause and looked at her manager seriously. "Can I change my dress?" Mo Yazhu heard her own voice and was startled. So much changed in the span of eight years.  

Wei meng was startled by her request and said. "We don't have much time. We can't change now." Wei meng's worry was warranted but Mo Yazhu gave a weird smile. "Don't worry. It'll be fine."  Mo yazhu picked up a dress she had rejected earlier and put in on. She soon came out of the dressing room and shooed all the makeup artists and started putting on something different.  The makeup artists looked worriedly at Wei meng but she didn't know what to do either. Something was clearly up with Mo Yazhu but she didn't have the time to ask.  After a few minutes, Mo Yazhu said she was done and started making her way outside making Wei meng run after her. They entered the car and the car started moving in silence.  After those few minutes did Mo Yazhu  finally feel like she was thinking clearly. She looked out the window and everything was exactly the way it was that evening. She thought back to the night she won her first best actress award. 

She went home with two awards that day. One for best actress, and another for best supporting actress. That blue dress was something that had being gifted to her from 'bestie', Chang shuren. She took that dress as a gift and she still had even until the day she died. Until she saw herself in the mirror did she think that maybe that dress was meant for what it was supposed to and did. The night went perfect as she brought home her awards. The next day, the dress and nature of it sparked controversy and hate however at the time, most people were on her side. Not until she was nearing the end of her career and life did someone bring such a thing up and it destroyed the last bit of respect and trust the public had for her. She was lost in thought until a monochrome voice woke her up. "We're here." She looked forward at the flashing blinding lights and sighed before she made her way out the car.

Chang shuren was standing simply at the door while looking on her phone. She wasn't a nominee for the event so a lot of the cameras simply looked away from her. However some cameras still looked her way and took pictures simply because of the aura she gave herself. She was wearing a dark maroon V-neck dress with a black jacket draped over her shoulder. Her look prioritized elegance and mystique to appeal to the cameras and it did just that. But then the cameras started flashing crazily making her look up. She looked and Mo Yazhu in a beige off the shoulder dress and gritted her teeth in annoyance. "Damn it Yazhu! I'm  supposed to be the mature one. What is she doing?!"
