Sophie and I were college classmates at the local film academy, but while she studied acting, I focused on directing and screenwriting.

During our university years, Sophie frequently graced the covers of entertainment magazines due to her beauty. She later gained widespread acclaim for a solo dance performance in the desert, hailed by the media as "the only jasmine blooming in the vast sands."

Of course, her most publicized relationship was with the wealthy heir Ethan Hunter.

They met at a glamorous industry event, where she was captivated by his handsome demeanor, and he was drawn to her ethereal beauty.

From that moment on, she became his muse, and he transformed from a carefree playboy into a devoted partner. They unabashedly displayed their affection in front of cameras, showcasing their love to the world.

However, this extravagant display eventually caught the attention of Ethan's family.

He was soon arranged to be set up with another woman and engaged in a lavish ceremony.

During that tumultuous time, Sophie fell into despair, failing several mandatory courses at the end of the semester and spending her days drowning her sorrows in bars.
