Thirty-six-year-old Meng Fanxing is a perfect woman in everyone's eyes: an excellent news editor, an impeccable wife, and a filial daughter-in-law. Her marriage to architect Gu Wei'an was a model in social circles. However, under the perfect appearance, there is always a hidden injury that happened in the summer when she was 14 years old.
In order to cover up and try to repair the shame and brokenness in his heart twenty-two years ago, Meng Fanxing used his amazing control to build an exquisite shell of life. Until her mother-in-law passed away suddenly, after she performed the ultimate performance of "perfect daughter-in-law" at the funeral, she finally quietly filed for divorce from her husband, who had just lost her mother and regarded her as her only support.
This seemingly sudden break is actually the inevitable result of the long collapse process of her 22-year life. Because on the dark side of her marriage, she conducted a series of desperate self-experiments: she once had a brief emotional deviation from a young intern, fell into the emotional manipulation of her husband's best friend and university professor in the name of "academic deconstruction", tested whether she could still feel "alive" through a physical relationship with a fitness instructor, and even tried to contact her adolescent crush to touch upon the possibility of innocence before being destroyed. Every deviation was like drinking poison to quench thirst, every betrayal made her sink deeper into shame...
