The peaceful married life was completely shattered by a late-night phone call. Chen Lu, who was five months pregnant, was feeling the gentle fetal movements of the new life in her belly when she unexpectedly received a call from a strange woman who called herself "Lin Xi" - "I am Liu Bin's cheating partner." The cold declaration was accompanied by conclusive evidence: unsightly intimate photos and ambiguous transfer records totaling more than 100,000 yuan. Like a red-hot iron, it burned through all of Chen Lu's trust in her husband Liu Bin and in this marriage.
The crystal lamp that once promised to "let you look up and see the stars" now reflects light as dazzling as broken glass. Seeing her sleeping innocent four-year-old daughter Duoduo stroking her swollen belly, Chen Lu's world collapsed. She recalled how she had been careful and frugal over the years, sacrificing her daughter's piano lessons, her own new clothes and maintenance for the illusory dream of "down payment for a house in a school district". And all these savings turned into designer bags and rent for the husband to please other young girls.
From the initial collapse and disbelief to the heartbreaking pain and anger, the calmness and rationality belonging to the accountant gradually awakened in Chen Lu. Under the professional guidance of her lawyer friend Zhang Wei, she began a quiet "liquidation".
