Marriage is a cage. Duoming may be the prey, but she has never been the loser.
Cheng Peiling imprisoned her body, but failed to confine her soul.
Theme:
A critical reexamination of marriage, and the heroine's journey of self-redemption.
A takedown of male chauvinism and punishment for scumbag men.
P.S.:
The heroine seems sunny but is truly depressed; the male lead, Jiang Lan, is an elegant older man who plays the pig to eat the tiger; the second male lead is sinister, obsessive, selfish, career-driven, and adept at chasing his wife to the crematorium and playing with fire until he burns himself.
