Dancing on Keys
Tea Bowl
To my parents, I was their obedient and kind daughter.
To my students, I was their gentle and understanding piano teacher.
To my audience, I was the star performer at the cabaret.
Of all these different identities, my favorite was by far the last. I enjoyed the hungry gazes that fell on me, searing my skin like flames. I enjoyed the juxtaposition between my different identities, never tired of playing different roles. In a sense, I was born to act, and I was passionately devoted to each of my identities.
So, won't you come watch me dance?

As I Was Micarrying, My Husband Ran Off to Save His Childhood Friend
During a fight with my husband, he shoved me. My stomach bumped into the couch’s armrest.
Just then, his childhood friend called him, sobbing. “Caleb, hurry, come to Cloudpeak Hotel and save me! My boss got me drunk, and now he’s forcing me to serve our client…”
I nearly blacked out from the twisting pain in my stomach. I begged him to take me to the hospital.
However, my husband said, “There’s a life at stake here! Can you not be so cruel?”
He left, slamming the door behind him. I had no choice but to call for an ambulance.
That night, he spent the night with his childhood friend, while I lay in the operating theater, undergoing emergency surgery.
Good news, Caleb Gordon! You'd never have children again! Weren’t you glad?
You deserved it!

"Hold in your rage, Dahlia," Ronan's voice was calm. "There are better ways to make them pay. Don’t destroy yourself trying to hurt them. That's not how revenge works."
I glanced down at my reddened knuckles. Tears blurring my vision.
"Then tell me, Ronan… how do I hurt them?" I choked on my tears.
"By becoming untouchable," he said softly. "Become more powerful, more successful. A version of Dahlia they could never break. And then… you make them kneel."
He leaned in, a wicked promise in his eyes.
"I'll help you rise again, Dahlia. And when you do… they'll beg at your feet."

"Oh... um ... sorry. I didn't mean to…um.. pry. I'm... gonna go now." I stuttered, inching backward from his penetrating gaze, glancing around for a way out.
"I don't know who you're, but I do know you're not here willingly. Seeing as you're chained and all."
Silence.
"How about I set you free, and in return, you get us out of here?"
Silence.
Maybe he couldn't talk, so I did the only thing I could. Grabbing the keys, I fumbled with the heavy chains of his cage. His gaze finally shifted to the wooden box I dropped on the floor.
"Fancy, isn't it?" I said.
"I've never seen anything like it before. But then again, I'm not familiar with expensive stuff."
A deep rumble rattled from his throat, freezing me in place.
I glanced up at him wearily.
"Run."
And then he was charging towards me.
