Chapter 307 Life is Short, Enjoy it While You Can

Yes, yes, yes. She wanted Hua Wuque not out of love, but due to a deep-seated obsession, much like when I first started school and desperately wanted to buy an Apple computer, but my family couldn't afford it. Every time I passed an Apple store, I couldn't help but stop and stare, secretly vowing that the first thing I'd do when I had money was buy it. Yet, when I finally got it, it felt mundane. I couldn't understand why I had wanted it so much back then.

Obsession, it's all driven by obsession. What we can't have, we always crave. Those who are favored are always complacent. Jiang Yuyan wanted Hua Wuque too much. The more Hua Wuque rejected her, the more she wanted to possess him. Her obsession deepened into madness, which is why she became so frenzied in the end. She was trapped and ultimately destroyed by her own obsession.

Exactly. Jiang Yuyan wasn't a love-struck fool; her obsession was too profound, leading her to fall into her own trap and kill herself. Otherwise, with her formidable martial prowess and intelligence, no one could have possibly killed her!

Jiang Ling's portrayal of the character Jiang Yuyan was truly exceptional. Especially just now, when she choked Hua Wuque, her face wore a smile of half sorrow and half madness. It was absolutely brilliant!

Praise to my Lingling's acting skills! Whether it's Jiang Yuyan or Xiao Xiannu, both are my favorites!

With the same face, she managed to bring two completely unrelated characters to life. It's truly amazing, Lingling, please accept my kowtow!

I don't like female characters like Xiao Xiannu; I find them too foolish. But Jiang Yuyan is truly superb. She became evil without needing smoky eye makeup, sporting wispy bangs and an innocent face, yet she managed to wipe out almost everyone in the drama, leaving only the title. In all my years of watching dramas, this is the first time I've encountered such a breathtaking villain!

...

Jiang Ling stared at the comment section. Seeing the audience and fans praise her portrayal of the characters filled her heart with joy, like drinking honey.

Jiang Yuyan's demise left many of her fans disappointed, even prompting requests for the director to film a second season, arranging for her to revive with the elixir of immortality from Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum and wreak havoc again. The title wouldn't need much thought either, simply "The Legend of Jiang Yuyan."

Huang Jing saw this and couldn't help but chuckle. The character was dead, yet they wanted a resurrection?

Such a ridiculously over-the-top plot would only be something that silly girl Yu Ma could write. He couldn't do it.

"The Little Fish and the Hua Wuque" concluded successfully. With nothing else to do, Jiang Ling invited Jiang Yushuang out for some shopping.

Life is short; enjoy it while you can. When you earn money, you should spend it.

There's nothing that one shopping spree can't solve. If there is, then have two.

"Lingzi, have you heard about the new collection for Van Cleef & Arpels' Pont des Amoureux? Shall we go take a look?" Jiang Yushuang said with a smile.

"Sure, I was thinking of buying myself a watch!"

The Pont des Amoureux is a classic, best-selling model from Van Cleef & Arpels and a true icon in the world of watches.

This series of watches depicts the love story of two people on the dial, with a lover's bridge in the center, and a boy and girl on either side of the bridge, waving.

The boy holding the rose represents the minute hand, and the girl's umbrella points to the hour hand. One full rotation takes twelve hours.

For the twenty-four hours of the day, only at noon and midnight can the boy and girl meet and kiss.

After a brief minute, the boy and girl separate, returning to their original positions, and then wait another twelve hours to meet.
