This novel, inspired by several consultations, explores how human nature changes.
It tells the story of an ordinary teacher who, by a twist of fate, encounters his first love, a capable woman with powerful connections, and begins a new chapter in life. In an otherwise humdrum marriage, he becomes involved in an affair, caught between conflicts and complications: they cannot break things off, but they cannot be together either. Later, he gets entangled in the web of favors and maneuvering involved in workplace promotions. Tempted by power and money, he slips step by step into the abyss of corruption.
His career collapses, his family falls apart, and everyone turns against him. After suffering the consequences, he finally comes to his senses, reflects amid the ruins, and finds the strength to stand again.
The novel does not deliberately portray anyone as purely good or evil. Instead, it delves into the many complexities of marriage, human nature, and desire. Readers are welcome to follow along and leave comments! (This story is entirely fictional. Please do not assume it is about you.)
