Happiness at the End of Marriage

To outsiders, they seem like the perfect match: a civil servant and a schoolteacher, an ideal professional partnership and a heavenly couple at home.

But their marriage is all glitter and no gold.

What is the point of marriage? In her forties, Jin Xiuxiu begins to question the fifteen years she has spent married.

Her mother-in-law only cares about her son, and her husband only cares about himself. She alone is treated like an outsider, someone who doesn’t belong.

If a marriage can’t be built on mutual respect and helping each other thrive, then what’s the point?

After years of suffering from illness and enduring her husband’s and mother-in-law’s cold treatment time and again, Wang Jinxiu finally resolves to file for divorce.

Faced with discrimination against divorced women and sexual harassment, she resolutely chooses to live on her own terms.

She studies hard and works to better herself.

She not only becomes a contracted author, but also finds herself and grows along the way. She reunites with Ma Qiancheng, a middle-school classmate who shares her ideals, and the two support each other and grow together, embarking on a bright future.
