a peerless Mary Sue or a diverse heroine?
What is a dream girl?
is a "dream girl" born in Japanese pop culture, which refers to women who are obsessed with and interact with male characters in the second dimension or fictional background.
’s dual definition of interaction interprets the essence of the dream girl’s subjectivity.
Either imagine that you are the original character, and interact with other characters in love, friendship, family, etc. stories from the first perspective.
Either create a new character from your own God's perspective, interpret his/her interactions with other characters, and enjoy it from a third perspective.
The explosive nature of otome games relies on the emotional projection from the first perspective.
" Rose Story " is a bit like a three-dimensional reality version of B Game.
Huang Yimei's character design is even better material for a dream girl: her parents from Tsinghua University, her reliable brother, her upbringing in a scholarly family, and my peerless appearance.
The character image is hard-core but not too far away from ordinary people's lives, just like the perfect combination of the two heroines in the classic movie " Golden Years ".
is an existence that erases regrets and combines luck and beauty.
This belief that "everything happens is good for me", coupled with the original interaction of the opposite sex of the dream girl, makes her equated with the stigmatized bitch Mary Sue.
"The Gangster and My 365 Days" 2020
Not to mention the same dream boy and Jack Su, no one criticized it, even if the dream girl pursues "perfect love with an ideal man" and "all the men I like like me" ”, that is also a very clear-headed and highly subjective female-centered demand.
is like Rose's "taking advantage", reflecting the foundation of Dream Girl: that is, the core of firmness, no internal friction, and advocating equality.
Therefore, no matter how bloody "The Story of the Rose" is, it always grasps the core of its flaws: breaks away from male cohesion and restores the normal perspective, interpreting a female-centered story.
Highlighting the overall healthy and natural beauty
At the same time, the love line also shows the metaphorical gray tone that after breaking away from the appearance of romantic cookies, all future changes will have traces to follow, and this is the reality.
is also a warning to the audience outside the show.

Changes in the emphasis on subjectivity
From dream girl to dream "female"
From dream girl to dream "female", what remains unchanged is the theme of female orientation, but what changes is a more distinct and prominent influence of subjectivity.
This change is a kind of resistance of women against the long-standing male aesthetics. After all, mass entertainment has always been tilted towards serving men’s aesthetic perspective, and women’s sense of subjectivity is quite weak.

If we say that the traditional dream girl dreams about illusory and beautiful love and the perfect opposite sex. So the biggest difference between the new dream "female" is the "de-sexualization". What
dreams about is not the result of "the prince and the princess living happily ever after", but the reality of being torn apart from reality at every stage of becoming a princess and a queen.
