Lin Wan once thought that her marriage to Shen Yu was the most beautiful form of love. After ten years of companionship from school to the business world, she was willing to give up her career for him and become the perfect Mrs. Shen. However, when Shen Yu crosses the line with his scheming female subordinate Su Man, the sweetness once turned into cold humiliation and control. He teamed up with Suman to mentally abuse Lin Wan, block her financially, and even threatened her parents' safety to force her to sign a humiliating "marriage agreement."
In the abyss of despair, a gastric bleeding sent Lin Wan to the hospital, where she met the calm and kind-hearted doctor Gu Jingxing. He lit up the glimmer of light for her with a book of "Norwegian Wood", a tough ginkgo tree and calm protection. Lin Wan finally decided to resist, but after she filed for divorce, she suffered even more crazy revenge from Shen Yu, and Suman's sinister plots also stepped up step by step - from social slander to fake mother's critical illness, and even pointing the finger at Gu Jingxing.
When Lin Wan and Gu Jingxing secretly fell in love while trying to save each other, Shen Yu's obsession turned into violent possessiveness. But the cruelty of fate is far beyond imagination: on the eve of the wedding, an "accidental" car accident tears apart all happiness. When she was dying, Lin Wan left her last smile in Gu Jingxing's arms, while Shen Yu knelt outside the ward, finally understanding what he had lost.
This is a sadomasochism about destruction and rebirth. When love becomes an excuse for control, only death can end this dislocation. But when the ginkgo leaves fall, some people learn to repent, and some people learn to let go.
