染指戏红颜
[răn zhĭ xì hóng yán]
Derived from historical and cultural narratives about men pursuing beautiful women ('红颜', red-cheeked ones), this term implies engaging in affairs with women either romantically or superficially. The use of '染指 (stain one’s fingers)' adds a layer suggesting involvement not always morally right but perhaps intriguing. It signifies someone drawn to drama surrounding romance.
