The experience of Tang Yuanqiu and Shen Zhiyu from fake marriage to staying together for a lifetime.
In 1991, the textile factory was divided into welfare tube buildings, requiring married people to work both ways. Female worker Shen Zhiyu approached her single colleague Tang Yuanqiu to negotiate a fake marriage and share a house, and agreed to divorce after the division of the house.
After receiving the certificate and being assigned a house, Shen Zhiyu postponed the divorce. The two gradually fell in love while living together, and when the factory stipulated that they would take back the house after divorce within three years of dividing the house, they simply decided to live sincerely.
The two saved money to support Shen Zhiyu's younger brother in studying. After the factory's performance declined, they started their own business and gave birth to their daughter Tang Nianyu.
Later, the old Tongzi Building was demolished and replaced with new houses, and each of them ran a store. The younger brother completed his studies and started a family, and his daughter also entered college and started a family.
During the Spring Festival of 2023, the whole family reunited, and her daughter learned from her uncle about her parents' fake marriage. Tang Yuanqiu looked back on this marriage that started as a transaction and returned to sincerity, and he was full of happiness and satisfaction.
