On the screen, last year's runaway hit drama *Chinese Paladin* was playing on a loop.
Liu Yifei's portrayal of Zhao Linger was utterly pitiful and endearing. On the television, Linger in her soft yellow dress was delivering her lines:
"I don't care at all! From today on, whether you're celebrating your birthday, finishing your apprenticeship, getting married, having a child, celebrating a full-month milestone, striking it rich, opening a business, or dying of old age, none of it has anything to do with me, Zhao Linger! I don't care who you want to be with, I won't ask, and I won't care!"
