The Last Marilyn Monroe is a fictional novella inspired by factual artwork. Centered around a unique oil painting, it tells a heartfelt story of finding love and meaning in life.
Lisha, a Chinese investment adviser living in New York, is a devoted art enthusiast. Struck by the beauty and uniqueness of a larger-than-life oil painting, she devises a bold plan with the help of her family and friends to "sneak" the painting into a museum for the public to appreciate. Unexpectedly, the painting gains widespread acclaim, putting their reputations and careers at risk. The group had to undertake another daring mission-to "sneak" the painting from the museum.
Set against the vibrant backdrop of New York City, The Last Marilyn Monroe explores the intricate emotional entanglements and aspirations of its characters. As the story unfolds, the secrets behind the painting come to light: Why did a master artist choose resolution after finding his own visual language? How did a group of friends with cultural race and ethnicity diversity rediscover the meaning of love and life through a "mission impossible"?
Encounter is fate, but love is a choice. Life is filled with challenges and uncertainty, but by choosing love, we find the courage to walk through the darkest valley to embrace the light of our souls.
