Just reading the story ”Red Rose and White Rose” of Zhang AiLing.
It’s been said that…
“If you marry the red rose, it, after some time, becomes a dismissable stain like the smear of blood left by a mosquito on the wall, while the white rose remains pure, desirous yet distant.
If you marry the white, it becomes an annoying grain of rice clinging to your clothes, while the red rose becomes a scarlet mark, indelibly stamped on your heart.”

How can a man ever choose between one or the other?
This is the story of Tong Zhenbao who, like many other men, has always had two “roses” in his life
…the passionate lover he would seek out but never marry, and the respectable woman he would marry but not share love or passion with.
Years ago, he deserted the former to marry the latter. Now years later, he cheats on the latter with illicit affairs

… until one day he discovers, to his dismay, that his spotless “white rose” wife, Meng Yanli, and the former “red rose” lover he forsook, Wang Jiaorui, are both not what they seem.
A woman, unlike a rose, isn’t just one colour after all.

This is the sinopsis of the story.
