Yun Mian, who is divorced and has two children, unexpectedly falls in love with young Zhang Bao. Zhang Bao was attracted by Yun Mian's gentleness and tenacity, and felt close to her son, eager to give her a stable home. Yun Mian also regained her expectations for love in Zhang Bao's company, and longed for the small home they could build together.
But this relationship is full of obstacles. Zhang Bao is bound by traditional family values. His parents cannot accept Yun Mian, who is "divorced and raising a child." They think it is "shameful." In addition, his father has high blood pressure, so he never dares to confess his love affair, so he can only let Yun Mian exist as an "invisible" person. He loves Yunmian and wants to be good to his children, but he cares about the opinions of others and lacks the courage to confront his parents. He even absurdly thought of "getting married casually to deal with his parents first, and then keep Yunmian", looking forward to the day when his parents are unable to interfere.
While Yunmian was immersed in love, she was worried about her child - her son had cried bitterly because of the collapse of his parents' marriage. She was afraid that the child would not be able to accept the "new father", and she was even more worried that Zhang Bao would not be able to truly accept the child. She oscillates between longing and sobriety. She is greedy for Zhang Bao's warmth, but she also knows that her child is her weakness.
The two persisted in the tug-of-war: Zhang Bao silently saved money to look at houses and plan for the future; Yun Mian tried to get his children to accept Zhang Bao, and also tried hard to convince himself that love could overcome obstacles. Their story is about ordinary people's persistence and compromise in love under the pressure of reality, hiding ordinary thoughts about waiting, understanding and protection.
