The Alluring Circle
(Original Title: 綺色圈)
The notion that female employees in the company are used as tools to lure and captivate men is an extreme misconception. It is unfair to blame these women for the social mingling that society scorns, yet continues to indulge in. One morning, as a woman wrote intimate letters in a corner, her emotional past caught up with her, stirring youthful memories and past mistakes. Faced with unexpected consequences, she contemplates her future amidst societal judgment.
