Ming Ming is a 21st Century martial arts princess and lady Robin Hood who steals for love. Her Prince Charming is D, a maverick fighter and irresistible rogue who posted this challenge to his swarms of female admirers; give him 5 million dollars and he'll run away with his benefactress to Harbin. Ming Ming meets D's other girlfriend, Nana, who is a virtual look-alike of Ming Ming. Meanwhile, he disappears from Shanghai without a trace.

If that’s true, what sound does she project into the universe?
