About This Novel
The novel takes "Marriage Defense" as its core and revolves around the marriage crisis of He Xiaoxi and Li Chen, intertwining family games, workplace ups and downs, and the emotional choices of urban men and women. He Xiaoxi comes from an ordinary background and marries into the seemingly superior Li family. However, she has to face her husband Li Chen's immaturity, her mother-in-law's initial contempt, and later her husband's affection and ambiguity towards Leng Yingying, a beautiful colleague in the company. In order to protect his marriage and his son Xiao Yu'er, He Xiaoxi went from being passive and compromising at the beginning to taking the initiative to improve himself (plastic surgery, fitness, further education), and even worked in Li Chen's company to control the situation, changing from passive to active step by step. At the same time, Li Chen's sister Li Qing and her husband Shang Qingsong fell into a marital deadlock due to fertility issues and the trade-off between career and family. They eventually divorced and reorganized themselves. The marriage of Li Chen's partners Jiang Yuan and Leng Yingying was full of profit calculations and fertility pressure. After many twists and turns, the situation was stabilized with the birth of in vitro fertilization. The story connects various aspects of marriage and love in multiple families: He Xiaoxi's perseverance and growth of the family, Li Qing's persistence in career and self, Leng Yingying's swing between material and emotions, and the ordinary marriage between ordinary professionals Zhu Guangliang and Du Mei. Everyone struggles, compromises and grows inside and outside the siege of marriage, and finally finds their own destination in the grinding of reality, explaining that marriage requires not only love, but also responsibility, tolerance and mutual achievement.
