She finally experienced it: her parents were killed and jailed, her boyfriend was jailed, her house was confiscated, her company had failed, and she had graduated from university was equivalent to losing her job. Could it be that God had opened another door for her, that only God would send one of them, the rich and handsome man who saved her, the world is unpredictable, there must be demons, whether the fake marriage contract in front of her is a conspiracy or an opportunity, only you can know!
"Soft as water." Han Yu, who was carrying the delicate woman in his arms, instantly opened his eyes with his mouth wide open. He was so shocked that he could swallow a goose egg. "Eh? Didn't I get slapped to death by the Sect Master? "
Despair could be seen in her deep eyes. There was a woman sitting on a wooden bench. Her facial features were extremely exquisite, and her face was clean and beautiful, almost bewitching. "Madam, don't wait! The Ran family won't be able to wait any longer. I think it's better if you decide earlier. Jin meant that by signing this agreement, it would be able to immediately help you save the Ran family. The condition is to get a divorce and break off completely. " "Alright, I'll sign!" It was as Lawyer Zhang had said, she couldn't continue to pull and pull. She could wait, but the Jean family couldn't. Eight years, two years of secret love, three years of open love, two years of engagement, one year of marriage ... What was the use of putting on an act now that this man had no intention of staying with him? Lawyer Zhang was somewhat stunned. Director Jin had given him one day to do this, but he didn't even have an hour to do it. She simply agreed to the divorce in such a straightforward manner. Without any hesitation, she quickly picked up a pen and signed her name at the bottom of the document on the tea table. Beautiful italics are as beautiful as she is.
It was said that the silent Second Master Lu had raised a cute little hedgehog, saying that it needed to be fed, that it needed to be coaxed when it slept, and that it even needed the Second Master to personally bathe it with it.

Second Master Lu: "Are you the one who called Ah'Xie?" Reporter: "..."
Alfian Sa’at’s The Asian Boys Trilogy is a fascinating, insightful tour through the lives and loves of the gay community in Singapore. In the campy and carnivalesque Dreamplay, history is turned upside-down as a goddess travels through time to ‘save gay men from themselves’. In Landmarks, geography takes centrestage, as eight short plays explore the spaces that have been claimed, colonised, and trespassed by those at the margins of the mainstream.
