"Mom, I'm going to the bathroom." Xiaoqiu put down her chopsticks and left suddenly in the middle of her mother-in-law's 60th birthday party. Xiao Sun looked at his wife's leaving figure, and in his ears he heard relatives asking with pretense of concern: "Is your wife too thin recently?" "Why are children so afraid of life?" He smiled mechanically, but he thought of the girl who ran towards him under the cherry blossom tree ten years ago. How could they have thought at that time that marriage would become a prison for each other.

In the fifth year after marriage, when mortgage, childcare and workplace pressures came one after another, love began to quietly deteriorate. Mother-in-law's interference, Xiaosun's avoidance, and Xiaoqiu's forbearance erode this relationship like slow poison. When their son was diagnosed with mild depression, the two finally had to face a cruel question: Has their marriage become the biggest source of harm to their children?
