39-Year-old Su Qing has turned her marriage into an "implicit contract": she has been married to Zhou Mingyu for 11 years, has no children, and stopped having sex early. She never does housework because her right hand is prone to dryness. Washing dishes and restocking cat food all belong to her husband, who earns 95,000 yuan a month.
This unconventional calm was punctured by her sister-in-law Zhou Lin's "fight against injustice": "He loves you, so you can't take it too seriously!" What was even more dazzling was the smell of citrus perfume on Zhou Mingyu's shirt when he returned home at night. Xiaowen, a coffee shop clerk in her early twenties, became a gap in the marriage.
Su Qing didn't panic. She stopped in the coffee shop with the canned cat and showed her trump card to Xiaowen: "When he wanted to buy a 600,000 yuan watch, I let him buy an apartment with my name on it; he didn't miss a penny of his monthly household income - he never stayed overnight at your place."
When Zhou Mingyu came back with imported hand cream and said "it's over", Su Qing was feeding the cat: "If you want to leave, you won't rush back every day." That night she took the initiative and said, "Wear gloves to cook noodles tomorrow." Looking at his back washing dishes in the kitchen, five cats rubbed his trousers - there may not be many love words in the day, but he recognizes the family and she is in charge of the house. The 11 years of tacit understanding and sincerity have long been stronger than sweet words.

I feel that the heroine seems to be strong and decisive, but also indecisive. She seems to be shrewd, but she is also stubborn. She has a very contradictory personality, which makes people feel uncomfortable. I want to scold her, but it seems that she is not that bad. Could it be that this is marriage, which is constantly being cut off and still chaotic, and it is frustrating and helpless. Maybe this is something I still can't understand.
