Handicraft was very difficult for the girl, but she discovered a passion for music when one of her grandfather's clients decided to play the violin while waiting for an order. Fulu decided to dance to the music, which made the client very happy. Since then, the girl danced in front of clients to entertain them and collect some money. As she grew older, Fulu became obsessed with the idea of dancing before the most distinguished guests of the big stage, where she could meet her father, even if he would be only a spectator. The girl began to save up for a dance school, while her grandfather did not interfere with Fulu, but did not help either. She managed to save up money only by the time Fulu became an adult. But many dance schools did not want to take her because of her age, rather than because of her lowly origin. However, there was a school for adults that was ready to take Fulu for a large fee. The training was difficult. Many of the dancers were daughters and sons of wealthy families, the gap in abilities and opportunities grew with each year. She had to prove her position not by origin, but by work and perseverance. She started her training sessions earlier than everyone else, and left later than later than everyone else. She took on additional work to save money for dresses and shoes for performances. Fulu began to be taken into corps de ballet.

One day, the girl had a stroke of luck when the second soloist of the theater injured her hip, thus someone should have replaced her. Fulu was put forward as a last-minute replacement and she did not disappoint. Later, the girl began to be taken to performances as a coryphaeus, albeit in small theaters. Attention to her grew. Performances became more frequent, and the doors to the big theater opened one after another. However, soon Fulu learned that her grandfather had died of ossification. In the next few years, the girl had to deal with her grandfather's debts to clients. She had to dance less often, and her places in performances were taken by other artists. When the last debt was paid and the workshop was sold, Fulu again immersed herself in dancing, albeit in less prominent roles. After a long period of inactivity, when performances followed one another without any changes, Fulu felt that dancing no longer brought her the same satisfaction as before. She was unable to get beyond the coryphaeus, and the place of the second soloist was always taken by girls of a higher position. In exchange for career achievements, Fulu was able to see her troupe as a family. Her friends supported her when her grandfather died and when her legs hurt from training. Although she didn't make friends with everyone, Fulu could understand that the troupe wouldn't abandon her. One day, an order came for a performance in the house of a wealthy politician. Preparations began immediately after the application, despite performance taking place in a few years. By that time, Fulu had managed to get herself a place as the second soloist. The performance itself was the same as thousands of others, but something had changed. After the performance, a noble archite approached the girl, he was enchanted by the girl and her solo part. He liked Fulu from the first second. He was rich and very influential in his circles and offered his sponsorship. She agreed. Performances in aristocratic circles began to happen more and more often, and the gifts for the girl became richer. And although the man sometimes mentioned that the girl reminded him of one of his past lovers, the girl was not embarrassed by this arrangement.

Only after several hundred years of courtship, Fulu made a terrible discovery for herself. Her lover was her biological father. She learned about it from his drunken stories, when he mentioned the girl's mother and how he was wildly disgusted by the fact that the woman he had turned dared to demand that he confess his paternity to the nobility. The girl was broken. And although she had never felt in love with him, even a bit of her former bright feelings for the man caused agony in her. Now, going to performances at private parties and receiving rich gifts, she felt only disgust and contempt for her father, who, even if he saw familiar features in the girl, would not recognize her as his daughter. At one of the parties where Fulu was invited as a guest, a young aristocrat approached her. He admitted that the girl had captivated his gaze. They began a secret affair. The girl admitted that she had a noble patron who would never let her go. An aristocrat could not marry a simple archite without a family, much less steal the of a more noble archite. This continued until Fulu's patron cooled off to her so much, that he himself suggested that the girl stop dating. She was free. But soon news came about her lover's engagement. This news prompted the girl to go on tour to different planets to distract herself and forget a series of unhappy romances. After many years, Fulu learns that her lover was convicted of embezzlement of all property and possible involvement in the death of his wife. By that time, the woman had already occupied the role of the first soloist in the troupe and could post bail for the release of her former lover. After hesitating with the decision for a couple of decades, she nevertheless decided to help him out of old feelings. By the time they met, the woman already had a series of lovers. There were many patrons and those who wanted to become the one and only for Fulu. But she decided that she would not belong to anyone and devoted herself only to art.
