[Marriage + Family Drama + Over-the-Top Melodrama]
Seventeen years of marriage.
For Li Donghuai, life means endless work, guilt over being absent, and the temptation of a charming young newcomer that’s hard to resist…
For Tan Limin, marriage means sagging skin, a spiteful mother-in-law, unruly children, and a husband who looks down on her…
The flirtation between her husband and a woman at his workplace tore apart their already fragile marriage.
At last, Tan Limin let go of her fixation on saving the marriage, filed for divorce, and started her own business.
The two entered the mandatory divorce cooling-off period.
Then, within those 30 days, a car accident gave the estranged couple signs of rekindling their relationship.
To save their marriage,
they agreed to decide on the last day of each year whether they wanted to spend the next year together.
If they did, they would write a pledge and make plans for the coming year.
If they didn’t, they would get divorced.
From that day on, their lives were turned upside down.
Halfway through watching it, I broke out in a cold sweat. I had never experienced this before, and I felt that it really existed, and that it had the fear of breaking through human nature and destroying our outlook on life.
It fits the label of "bloody". Some people say it is "real", but it is actually a kind of dark imagination. I do not deny the rationality of the plot, but it is more like the "plots" of many bloody incidents merged into a novel. Believe in reality, most (statistical percentage) of the bloody incidents in reality will not be so bloody. Don't fall into your own dark fantasies.
Why bother to force ourselves together for the sake of our children?
I'm so scared. My boyfriend and I have been dating for several years and we are very happy now. His family is quite simple, but her mother is really not easy to get along with... She is a little afraid that she will reach this point.
This is the worst state of human nature I have ever seen written about. It can be said to have severely torn apart my superficial understanding of adult families. I can see colors in each person that I don't understand and that I hate. It is horrifying to watch, it is realism, and it is a wake-up call to those who have not yet entered society and entered marriage. The constant interruption and harming myself out of revenge had a great impact on my outlook on life. But it still hurts after watching it
It's so cool to make money behind your husband's back!! I have to do business and take care of my children, I am a super mother! 🤩🤩
After staying up late to read it, I can only say that the reality may be like them. The father-in-law is like a god to the mother-in-law, the woman, the man, and the children. Without the father-in-law, they would not live well. There should be more people like my father-in-law. His concept of home, psychological care for his children, and attitude towards his wife's ex-husband are really beyond the reach of many people. My father-in-law is really nice.
Gei It's not that I like this book. This book is too depressing. This kind of marriage should continue. It's really...
Because this book has always appeared on the recommendation list, I clicked in to read it out of curiosity. As someone who doesn't want to get married, I just think marriage is really troublesome, but I also think people who want to get married and those who are married can read this book and summarize their experience.
After watching it, I feel that both the workplace and marriage are quite cruel. It's not long but it's quite beautiful.
