As a UX designer for a major Internet company who pursues "pixel-level perfection," Lin Ran's life creed is: clear logic, clean interface, and user experience first. The two-person world she carefully created is just like the APP interface she designed, which is minimalist, efficient and without redundancy.
It wasn't until her mother-in-law, a walking compressed package of "human fireworks", parachuted into her home with two salted fish and a large northeastern flower quilt, that Lin Ran discovered that the Life APP was suddenly forced to install a "plug-in" with a strange style of painting, which could not be uninstalled, and always consumed her memory in the background.
When "breaking up" meets "three more years of mending", when "light salad" collides with "braised pork with rice", when the grand narrative of "independent women" is ruthlessly crushed by the homely nagging of "women should have babies early"... Lin Ran's urban elite life has instantly become a chaotic mess.
And her husband, the affordable man who once imagined the future with her, tries hard to play the role of "double-sided tape" and "peacemaker" between his mother and his wife, but often ends up turning himself into a "sandwich biscuit."
This is a hilarious encounter between two generations and two lifestyles. It is also a story of modern women constantly debugging, fighting monsters, and upgrading in the "user experience" of marriage and family, and finally find the best "interaction design" in their lives. Life has to be a little smoky, but you have to decide on sugar and ice.
