Middle Age Calamity

Thirty-eight years old is a watershed in life. Looking forward, it is the "three big mountains" of mortgage and car loans, children's education, and parents' retirement; looking back, it is the "midlife crisis" of retreating passion, alienation between husband and wife, and bottlenecks in the workplace. Chen Beichuan, a middle-aged man whose edges have been smoothed by life, is a submissive middle-level man in the office during the day, and a dispensable roommate in the eyes of his wife at night. Until that rainy night, he met Shen Zhiyi, who was also panting in the marriage siege. An "accident" that started with physical comfort made them grab onto driftwood like a drowning person. They agreed not to talk about feelings, only about needs, and used their most primitive desires to fight against the emptiness brought about by this wolf-like age. But in the adult world, there is no pure desire, only calculation and price. When the secret passion is revealed bit by bit by the cracks in reality, multiple pressures from family, workplace, and public opinion sweep over like a tsunami. They discovered that this countercurrent called "middle-aged rebellion" would either push them into the abyss or force them to find their true selves.
