If you will grow old, it is better to never be beautiful

The dilapidated residence, at first glance, looked like a devil's cave.

But there are no undead monsters in the cave.

Only a dying woman tortured by vanity and old age.

But at last the woman went downstairs with overlapping gazes along the long stairs.

Almost alluring, soul-stirring, and terrifying.

It seems that all the old goddesses have traveled such a path.

To death and no one cares. To rot, flower roots, dirt and mice.

Some things work differently when you are twenty and fifty.

The scary thing is that this woman once had the eyes of the whole world. This is even more terrifying.

Let her think that this kind of beauty can last forever.

As long as she uses a little charm, she can slow down the gears of the world.

How could it be, she would only see her self-esteem and pride reduced to a laughing stock.

The black and white elegy of the silent film era is more than a goddess star who can't go back.

Her intensification, she took it for granted, and her fierceness were all bad habits developed by the glory of the old era. However, she made a shell to protect herself later.

An outsider broke the shell, forcing her to see everything in front of her. It's all rotten mud.

There is no beauty in her, what is left is just the remnants of time and the odor of dust that cannot be concealed.

This is not a greatness, it is a sadness. It's more of a norm.

Therefore, when the heroine's face is gradually enlarged in a close-up manner.

I think she will finally settle down, finally end, and finally sacrifice her life to vanity in a gorgeous and special way!

After all, the beauty is easy to get old, and reincarnation seems to be between the fingers.

You can't ask every beauty to stick to red lips and white teeth and live in old images.

Or marry into a wealthy family and grow old sadly. Or fled overseas, without knowing the information for many years.

Or die safe.

If you choose to fight to the end in life, all jade and stone will burn.

In my opinion, it is the way of women. Even if it is not good, it cannot be criticized.

In comparison, she loves vanity more than anyone else.
