To paraphrase Solzhenitsyn's famous quote, we know they are performing, and they know they are performing, but they perform nonetheless. People always look for a balance between ideals and reality. Compromise is unacceptable in theory but inevitable in reality. Many times, carelessness can be seen everywhere, and few people understand true love. People even sneer at the possibility of the latter, labeling sincere affection as pretentious sentimentality.
The story takes place against the background of the epidemic. The male protagonist is a private equity fund manager and the female protagonist is a fund investor. They met because of their work and were attracted to each other because they found similar qualities in each other. They struggled to identify themselves and their loved ones amid family imprints, life choices, inner confusion, and domestic violence, and performed a long-distance and underground love affair that was not afraid of the world.
The work aims to trigger thoughts about love, marriage, family, desire, responsibility, and growth. It presents many kinds of love, sincere, selfless, selfless, rational, fulfilling, impulsive, narrow, egoistic, distorted... In short, love is complicated, and human nature is complicated.
