When love and calculation intertwine in the urban jungle, who can stay awake on the edge of the whirlpool?
Chen Ming, a doctor at a tertiary hospital, got divorced because of his ex-wife Li Wei's affair. He faked the divorce to buy a second house to avoid taxes and transferred all his property to Li Wei's name. Unexpectedly, not long after the divorce, Li Wei openly had an affair with company boss Gao Hui. Five years later, Chen Ming and editor Qi Doudou reunited their family, but their peaceful life was broken by Li Wei's sudden return.
This book explores the trust crisis, gender power game and complex human nature in contemporary marriage through an urban emotional whirlpool caused by a "fake divorce" turning into a "real breakup". When "bullying the strong with the weak" becomes a weapon, and when children become bargaining chips, who is the real victim? In the cruel reality that 80% of divorces are due to cheating, everyone is both a perpetrator and a victim, testing and struggling on the edge of morality and desire.
