In order to treat her mother's illness, Qian Qianqian "sold" herself to Shen Si, the king of hell in the business world, and became his shady lover. She was well-behaved and docile, but on the day he announced their marriage, she disappeared with the secret in her heart. Two years later, at the Chinese New Year banquet in the Year of the Horse, she made a stunning appearance with the upstart on her arm. Shen Si went completely crazy, abandoned his fiancée, and knelt down to express his love in front of everyone. She chuckled: "Mr. Shen, belated affection is worthless than grass." And he was determined to spend the rest of his life atone for his sins. The story takes "Chasing Wife at the Crematorium" as its core context and deeply explores the proposition of "injury, compensation and redemption". The theme is to show how in the unequal relationship between class and power, the weaker party can find dignity and autonomy, and how the stronger party can pay the price for its past arrogance and harm and learn true love and respect. The male protagonist Shen Si's journey to pursue his wife is essentially a journey of fragmentation and reconstruction of his personality, forcing him to examine his own control and harm in the name of love. The escape and growth of the heroine Qian Qianqian represent the awakening of independent consciousness. The background of the story is set around the time of the horse, and the alternation of old and new seasons implies breaking out of the cocoon and rebirth. The theme ultimately leads to the fact that equality and respect are the cornerstones of love. Any emotion based on oppression and neglect will eventually face collapse, and true recovery requires thorough humility, profound changes and the test of time.
