In a distant village, a beautiful young woman named Ma, originally called Alo, witnessed her sisters' unhappy marriages despite their beauty. Determined to avoid their fate, Ma pursued her dream of becoming a fashion designer. She rejected wealthy suitors and focused on her education. After excelling in school, Ma moved to the city to study fashion design. There, she attracted attention for her looks but tested people's interest by wearing a mask to see if they valued her for more than her appearance. This experience reinforced her belief in her own talents and worth beyond physical beauty.
