Second Shore

When Lin Qiuyue was thirty-five years old, she got divorced. Not because of cheating, not because of domestic violence, or even for any earth-shattering reason. But one night, her husband Chen Jianguo brought a bowl of sloppy noodles in front of her and said, "Let's just eat it." She suddenly felt that this might be the case for the rest of her life. After the divorce, her daughter Chen Xiaohe followed her. The twelve-year-old girl was at a very sensitive time. She pretended not to care on the surface, but secretly blocked the news of her parents' divorce from all her classmates. Lin Qiuyue and her daughter moved out of the house they had lived in for ten years, rented a two-bedroom apartment in the east of the city, and started over. She thought that second marriage was something in another world. Until I met Zhou Haitao. Zhou Haitao is 41 years old, divorced, and has an eight-year-old son, Zhou Zihao. He is the partner manager of Lin Qiuyue Company. He is steady, decent and speaks in an unhurried manner. The two met during a project match and chatted about work, life, and their broken marriages. Everything fell into place, like two drowning people grabbing onto the same driftwood at the same time. After dating for a year, they decided to get married. This is supposed to be a story about redemption. Two injured people come together to warm each other and believe in love again. But reality is never a fairy tale. "The happiness rate of second marriage is lower than that of first marriage" - this sentence is like a magic spell that has been fulfilled repeatedly in their lives. This is a story about starting over, and also a story about "second choice" - when fate gives you a second chance, how should you grasp it? When life shows its ferocious face again, do you still have the courage to make another choice?
