The Marriage Clinic

Marriage Clinic Qin Sha is a PhD in psychology, but because she devoted herself to her studies, she never dated anyone before graduating with her doctorate at thirty. Since her specialty is marriage counseling, she sometimes finds the irony hard to ignore. She now works at a psychological counseling center, helping people with marriage and relationship issues. The story unfolds along two threads. On the surface, clients bring their problems to Qin Sha for advice, and she offers her answers. Beneath that, their cases make Qin Sha reflect on her own life. The story has seven chapters, each with three sections, linking together 21 stories: I. Sweet Romance 1. The Trap of Love 2. A Vague Lament 3. Stopping for Love II. Enjoying Life Together 1. Spending Money Under the Moon 2. The Wealth Gap 3. Unchanging Love III. Painful Breakups 1. The Truth Behind the Pressure to Marry 2. Impossible to Forget 3. Love Is Gone IV. Love for Sale 1. The Rich Woman’s True Love 2. Physical Needs 3. Having a Child as Business Partners V. Marriage by Reason 1. Pressure to Marry and Blind Dates 2. Trading Values 3. A Conventional Wedding VI.
