After reading a lot of interpretations and analysis of this movie, it seems that there are some contradictions in some places, so I reconsider and think that the truth should be like this.

First of all, Liz is indeed a murderer. After confirming that her husband no longer wrote the drama with her as the protagonist, the heroine decided to use the method of killing to make herself famous, and the person who knew about her plan should have a relationship with the heroine. It's the soulmate's Dan and the third maid. And the one who poisoned the heroine's husband should be the third maid.
At the beginning of the film, the heroine angrily looks at the burnt letter in the fireplace. After the heroine took the bloody scarf home and burned it but was found by her husband, she wrote to her husband's own murder diary, writing The purpose of the letter is no more than to allow her husband to continue writing the script for her to play the lead role, or to allow her husband to have evidence to report that she is a murderer and become famous. But this letter was accidentally seen by the little three maid, the letter must be burned, she also wants to kill the heroine's husband to prevent him from saying that the heroine is a murderer, she does not want the heroine to become famous. Then put the blame on the heroine, so that after the heroine is caught, she will naturally have the opportunity to perform, and she also wants to become famous. Later in the film, it was confirmed in the library section that the third maid had indeed read the letter and knew the manuscript and the truth. This can explain the contradiction of why the heroine wants to be famous, why she kills her husband to silence her.
So why didn't the heroine tell the detective that she was a murderer from the beginning? I think the heroine has been expecting the detective to find out the murderer of her husband and remove her for poisoning her husband so that maybe she has a chance to act again, but as things went on, she found out that the detective could only be In his hands, let him obediently explore and reveal the truth step by step in the direction given by him. Maybe she also enjoys the process of controlling a man. At that moment, the more shocking and impressive it was, at the same time, she was also giving Dan time to arrange this stage play that she led in reality. The heroine still insisted that she did not poison her husband until she was on the gallows, because after so many massacres, she did not bother to kill in this way, as she said: I am so much more.
The heroine and Dan should have discussed these murder plans, maybe Dan was also involved in the murder. It can be seen from the film that it was Dan who told the heroine that inspired the heroine: If you want to carve your name into the stone, you have to carve it yourself with a chisel.
Next, Xiaosan's maid was killed by Dan. First, Dan wanted to avenge the heroine, but the heroine, who should have been known as a murderer, was blamed by Xiaosan, and was finally hanged for poisoning her husband. The curtain call that should have been brilliant can only be ended in a cold and hasty manner. Second, the male protagonist also wants to be famous. Even if he is not famous for the murderer, he also wants to be famous for his role in "Leeds" on the stage. It is not his turn to steal the limelight from the maid.
