Zhen Meiyu insisted on taking part in accidental amusement from beginning to end. Even in the end, she didn't find that she couldn't get out. Even if she lied to herself, she didn't want to wake up. For the baron, Zhen Meiyu is just the woman he likes most in taking part in accidental amusement. The original purpose is for fun, not "real plum rain" but also "fake plum rain". When he saw Chiyo, who was younger and more beautiful, he certainly didn't care about the mutual affection with Zhen Meiyu. When I first went to the arms of the baron, it was also because the baron's money and power could bring me shelter. This is a deal between you and me. With feelings, it can only become wishful thinking.
As for Hatsumomo, she doesn't know how to be reserved and forbear. She gradually forgot who she was, until she finally chose to throw it at Du Gucai and realized how weak she was. During the competition with Zhen Meiyu, her talent and looks were not lost. The only thing is that she didn't catch Zhen Meiyu. When I fell in love with Koichi, I had a tryst with him, regardless of place or occasion. Rumors have spread among people. Although the film didn't reveal it, other geisha, including those dignitaries, should have heard of it, so I guess that's why Chu Tao hasn't found a long-term employer like Baron.
If Hatsumomo and Zhenmeiyu became geisha to survive, then Chiyoko was mixed with her dream to keep her sincerity. A thousand generations are soft outside and rigid inside. First of all, she knows what she wants and is willing to work hard for the goal. As a servant, she fell in love with the president and decided to become a geisha, because then she could be closer to her lover. Zhen Meiyu once warned her: "What can we expect as geisha?" This is also Zhen Meiyu's helpless summary of her tragedy. But Chiyo never felt unworthy. She practiced hard and made herself the best geisha in Kyoto, and finally stood beside her lover.
