Under the aura of the elite of Beijing's top insurance company, Zhang Pei received an order to fly to the Chengdu branch. It seemed like a career jump, but it hid the hidden thread of the power game at the headquarters. When she stood on the street of Chunxi Road dragging her suitcase, she never thought that the life drama that was about to be staged in this city would be far more thrilling than the workplace fight.
Gou Dandan breaks the entanglement between her fiancé and the bridesmaid three days before the wedding, and the two lines on the pregnancy test stick become the sharpest irony. She fled back to Chengdu despite being pregnant. When her parents questioned her, she could only use the lie of "project assignment" to maintain her dignity. She rushed between the rental house and the prenatal hospital every day, like a vigilant snail, hiding her broken life in its shell.
When the two friends met again, Zhang Pei decided to fight for custody rights for Gou Dandan. One hid his longing for his lover in the capital in the pile of reports late at night. They warmed each other in the fireworks of Chengdu, and also joined forces to fight back in the undercurrent of the workplace - Gou Dandan used her keen sense of smell during pregnancy to crack the client's insurance fraud case, while Zhang Pei used thunderous means to help Gou Dandan regain her pre-marital property.
When Gou Dandan's child was born, and when Zhang Pei received the termination letter from Beijing, they laughed with tears outside the delivery room of West China Hospital. The city accepted their embarrassment and witnessed how the two women weaved the thorns of life into garlands that illuminated each other.
