After graduating from college, Shen Yue became a real estate sales consultant. She met a homeowner named Xu Hang, and the two shared six sweet, romantic months together. Sadly, fate played a cruel trick on them, and they were forced to break up. Then Shen Yue met Cheng Yao, the boy she'd had a crush on in high school. They eventually got together, but after having a child, she was forced to become a housewife.
She gave up her career for love. This frail young woman, who couldn't even look after herself, was forced to become strong enough to take on an army, enduring constant bullying from her mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
Depression, thyroid cancer, her child getting into trouble, Cheng Yao's first love returning: one blow after another left Shen Yue with no one by her side. She learned to save herself and began her journey toward awakening. She came to understand that loving yourself is the beginning of a lifelong romance. No matter how many times it takes, you must save yourself from life's fires and floods.
In the end, Cheng Yao regretted everything.
By then, Xu Hang had returned.
Besides Shen Yue, the story follows several friends, each with their own turbulent lives. They may look glamorous on the outside, but they're all broken inside.
That's life, I guess.
