The song's title, "Gilded Lily," is based on an idiom that describes trying to improve on what is already perfect. When human beings attempt to hold onto things as they are, they try to improve on the natural course of life (which is change and transience). We suffer because we desire a certain state of being or outcome rather than embracing the cosmic order.

[  Copied from Melodyinsight, based on the insights of Brendan Briggs.]

When the Yoil high school students from 2nd grade 3 class go on a field trip, Kang Na-Ri finds herself in a living hell. Before she even reaches the Muryeong Youth Centre she experiences strange events. 

Na-Ri can really only think of agreeing with the one who said knowledge is power. Just like the one who said ignorance is bliss.

"the stars are shining bright again" he said as he looked at the night sky. "of course they are, that's their job, to shine in the dark" she answered smiling. "it's beautiful isn't it" she continued looking at the man who is using her lap as his pillow. He looked deeply into her eyes. "yes, very beautiful" he answered and they both smiled. Holding her hand, he believes that there's nothing more important than her. He wasted a lot of time already flirting with all the girls that he can get. But with her, everything is different. She's different. And he wanted her. A relationship with her. She, on the other hand is a cheerful woman. A girl full of smiles and charms. But she didn't know. She took everything as a joke. Because for her, that's what she is. A joke. It's a joke that she's alive, it's funny that she's alive. Being the tomboy that she decided to be, she shut all the people out. Specially all of the people who wanted to shit on her. She always gets revenge by not doing anything but just smile. That's how he fell in love. But, what can happen? They're best friends. They've been together since they could remember. They can't just ruin what they have by taking the step and label what they are. He won't hurt her. But she don't want to be away from him. What will happen if they discover about being lonely? What will happen if they go back in time but destiny will just repeat itself? What if they both meet another person and they will feel complete? What if, he moved on and by that time she wanted to try it with him? What if, she has another man and he wanted to fix their relationship? But, what sort of relationship? Friendship is all that they have. She wanted to be loved, true love. He wants her attention. He wanted to try. But she won't take the risk.

"Hey! She already said she was sorry. What more do you want?!" I screamed loudly in his face. His face turned from angry to shocked. No one had ever yelled at him that way at school before. He narrowed his eyes at me."She ruined a very expensive shirt so she needs to be punished for it," he responded, his green eyes lit with hate and anger. "So?! You probably have a million other shirts just like it. You spoiled rich boys have no respect for others. You think you're better than everyone else. Well, let me tell you, you are the worst of the worst." I said. I couldn't believe what I had just said. I realized I had given myself a death sentence as the words flew out my mouth. Duke was quiet for a few moments then he finally replied. "You better watch what you say girly," he said as he brushed past my shoulder. His two buddies following him from behind. I couldn't believe what I just did. It felt so invigorating. I felt as though I had an adrenalin rush. I knew that this feeling would not last for long though because I just gave the H3 a new target. Me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rosette just wanted to have a nice and quiet high school life, however, high school life at Highland High Private school is anything but nice and quiet.

And she has dreams of becoming a professional dancer, like Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, and Gene Kelly. But then, her home in Florida gets hurricane warnings. It is recorded as the biggest, most dangerous hurricane in history. She and her mom get evacuated and go to New York City to stay with her older sister Macy and her husband Jack. As Mari adjusts to New York life, she tries to get used to a new school. But all she wants is to go back to her friends and home in Florida. Then her mom is offered a big new job, at the big corporate company Macy works at. Her mother accepts, so they stay in New York permanently. Mari tries to to be happy for her mom's sake, but she misses her friends. Things start to change when she meets Jiyong, the company CEOs attractive son. She soon discovers that he is the resident "bad boy." Everyone tells her to stay away from him, that he is nothing but trouble. But something about him fascinates her, and she starts to fall for him. Jiyong is sweet and attentive to her, until he seems to get bored of her, suddenly becoming distant. Then, she sees him with another girl. Mari is heartbroken, but she meets Seunghyun, Jiyongs' older, more mature, and very attractive cousin. Jiyong chases Mari, telling her that what she saw was a misunderstanding. And as she falls for him more, she realizes that maybe he's just doing it to spite his older cousin, who also shows an interest in her. Does Jiyong truly care about her? Or is he just using her? And does she truly care for him? Or has it been Seunghyun the whole time? Disclaimer: This is a fanfiction involving Big Bangs' G Dragon and Top, and Winners' Song Mino.

Finding Purpose (+18) āœ”ļø by ZaynismRules

***this book contains suicidal thoughts and tendencies, may not be appropriate for younger audiences*** In which she looks for the purpose of life. Lily Carter's parents died in a car crash leaving her and Laura, girl was depressed long before her parents passed away and with all the problems turning up now, Lily felt more miserable - if that's even possible. With her journey to look for life's purpose and grab the small pinch of HOPE - which is ironically her second name -, will she finally snap at the pressure and finally end it all? or will a small light lit her darkened world of grief and loneliness? * "So you know. The little goth girl who gets bullied is indeed a mess. There's this mess in her head that eats her alive everyday isn't it? What to do now Kaden? Tell the whole neighborhood and recieve an award for taking out a crazy in this world?" I spit like vomit. His eyes warmed up as I finished, "Lily. It isn't like that" "What is it then? People stopped caring... they gave up, why aren't you?" I fought my tears. "Because I feel the need to care. Did Leigh hurt you? Did she hit you?" he finally noticed the unusual redness of my cheek. I don't like the way he told me he needed to care for me. I felt like an obligation, a responsibility that he is carrying and carrying leads to getting tired and when people gets tired, they give up. I don't want them to give up on me. But they will, so it's good not to make them care for me in the first place. "I never needed anyone. I stopped needing anyone before, why start now?" I uttered the words again. Why? There is nothing to fight for. No mama. No papa. No sister to love me. No one. So why would I waste my life and the time of others to fix what is already broken - and someone who doesn't want to be fixed? If I may add. Maybe I gave up. No, scratch that. I gave up a long time ago - when my parents died, my hope and purpose went away with them.
