男人再狠不过一颗心女人再美不过一张脸
[nán rén zài hĕn bù guò yī kē xīn nǚ rén zài mĕi bù guò yī zhāng liăn]
'A man can be ruthless but not more than his heart; a woman can be beautiful but only as much as her face'. The phrase shows a cynical attitude toward appearances and human nature, believing true emotions and values are not reflected superficially.
