Li Qian and Liao Fan married without a dowry, rejecting the conventions of the world in favor of a vow to live and die by romance. They would buy a house together, pay off a car together, leave their original families to build a new home of their own, give each child one of their surnames, raise them together, and care for both sets of parents. Their seemingly “perfectly fair” new model of marriage was shattered by the diagnosis that Liao Fan’s father had terminal cancer. The hands that once held paintbrushes now had to deal with daily chores and the cost of living, and their once “romantic until death” vow had to collide head-on with harsh reality. The loving young couple eventually returned to the Civil Affairs Bureau, only to find themselves facing the mandatory divorce cooling-off period…
A wonderful down-to-earth marriage and love story. The special period of thirty days of divorce cooling-off period is used to condense the love and career of Li Qian and her best friend, with a compact plot and vivid characters. The collision of love and career, ideals and reality among several young people is a mess. Fortunately, Li Qian and Liao Fan grew up in love, An Yi found his other half, and divorced his wife Mengmeng smoothly.
