This work focuses on the life dilemma and emotional entanglements of the protagonist Yu Yu. It starts with the wedge line "I hate being in love the most, but I live my life in a way that I despise", setting a realistic and slightly ironic tone.
In 2024, Yu Yu is caught in a double blow in the workplace and in love. In the workplace, she changed four jobs a year, and experienced setbacks such as bosses running away with money, department mergers and transformations, company closures, and sudden changes in business. She was exhausted while running. In love, her three-year long-distance relationship with Chen Chaocai was already riddled with holes. She suffered from the other party's criticism, neglect, and emotional neglect for a long time, and it was difficult to receive care even when she was sick or frustrated. After breaking up, Chen Chaocai used extreme methods such as moral kidnapping, threats of self-harm, and pestering and harassment to force them to get back together, which left her physically and mentally exhausted.
Just when Yu Yu fell into despair, the appearance of her colleague Li Sheng brought a glimmer of comfort - when she was entangled by Chen Chaocai, Li Sheng reached out to help in time and gave her a sense of security with a gentle attitude. Yu Yu originally thought that this bad relationship and life were over, and was determined to start over, but she didn't know that fate had already laid the groundwork: Li Sheng seemed to be the light of redemption, but in fact he was quietly weaving a denser network, and the people and things that could really break her and crush all her pride were still waiting for her ahead. Through Yu Yu's experience, the work delicately depicts the struggle of contemporary young people in real-life pressure and emotional dilemmas, and also hints at the more complex emotional entanglements that will follow.
