Theme: You are my muse. For 23-year-old Song Guanyu, this age was a major watershed moment in life, but she chose to get married. As a new-generation all-round creative singer-songwriter in the Chinese music scene—beautiful, sweet-voiced, and talented—she was hailed as the future heir to the title 'Queen of Love Songs.' Yet she encountered the first writer's block of her life. Her childhood friend told her, 'Songwriting needs a lot of emotional connection to have inspiration. You have to experience it. Why not fall in love?' Song Guanyu trusted her friend completely and nodded in acknowledgment. The next day, she had her mother arrange a blind date for her. When her mother's circle of friends learned of this, they eagerly participated, and indeed, she met a rare find. Ye Yansheng was broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted, handsome, wealthy, gentle, and modest. Generation after generation of his family were medical professionals. He was the most authoritative orthopedic surgeon at the city's top hospital, yet at 32, he remained unmarried. Secret admirers at the hospital whispered that he might have some 'issue.' This rumor reached the hospital director, who then passed it to his wife. The director's wife immediately decided that a blind date was in order. After Song Guanyu and Ye Yansheng got their marriage certificate, their married life was respectful and polite. But the duties of a married couple came as promised. [VCR as follows] Dr. Ye: Hello, I'm off work. Send me your location, and I'll pick you up for dinner. Miss Song: Ah... sorry, I forgot I'm married. I'm at home about to eat instant noodles. Dr. Ye: Okay, no problem. Miss Song: [Cute cat emoji] Sure, sure. --- Miss Song: Hello, I'm home and about to cook. Dr. Ye: Sorry, I have to work overtime for a consultation today. [Dog sticking out tongue emoji] Miss Song: Sure, sure. [Cat nodding emoji] Dr. Ye: [Dog nodding emoji] --- Dr. Ye: Hello, I'm home, washed up, and waiting for you. [Dog waiting emoji] Miss Song: Sure, sure, coming right back. [Cat running emoji] Later one day, Song Guanyu's childhood friend saw her glowing complexion and the high-neck sweater that didn't match the hot weather. Thinking she had fallen in love, she teased her. 'With that look, you're doing well in love, huh? Got any inspiration?' Song Guanyu blushed as she recalled last night—Ye Yansheng's stamina and sexy breathing sounds had worn her out. As she reminisced, she mumbled to her friend, not noticing her friend's expression turning from sunny to cloudy. She recounted everything about last night with Ye Yansheng and finally blurted out, 'I'm married.' The news stunned her friend, who felt like crying. She had told her to fall in love! Fall in love! Not get married! Hey! Married life was delicate and plain. But Song Guanyu felt that marrying Ye Yansheng was the best decision she had ever made. "Born of Desire," the song, was released and won Best Song and Best Lyrics/Composition in the Chinese music scene. It earned Song Guanyu the title of Best Singer-Songwriter and 'Little Queen of Love Songs.' During a backstage interview, a reporter asked about the inspiration for the song. Song Guanyu looked at the camera and, in her cute, soft voice, said something off-topic: 'Ah... because I got married.' The crowd: ...What kind of answer is that? Wait?! Got married?! The Little Queen is married! After the interview, Song Guanyu evaded the paparazzi and went to the underground parking lot. A all-black car sat quietly there. As she approached, its lights turned on, illuminating her path. Ye Yansheng got out, walked to her, and embraced her. He leaned close to her small ear, his magnetic and charming voice tender. 'Miss Song, congratulations on getting married.' And so, under the cold car lights, his adorable wife blushed. His heart overflowing with love, he rubbed her soft cheeks, bent down, and placed a burning kiss on his cute wife's face. In an instant, heart, thoughts, desire, love were born. The adorably dazed girl met her gentle gentleman. 'Please, gentle gentleman, stay with me forever—"Born of Desire."' 'Okay, dazed girl.'
