Synopsis

From ignorantly falling in love to unexpectedly becoming pregnant out of wedlock, she muddleheadedly stepped into the siege of marriage that she was already unwilling to do. Before the marriage, her mother-in-law was full of scheming and stingy, and refused to give out even a cent of the bride price. This made her feel full of grievances and grudges from the moment she stepped into the house. After marriage, my husband was a complete mama's boy, mediocre and unmotivated, with no ability to take responsibility. He only obeyed his mother's orders in everything and never cared about her feelings. The trivial supply of food, rice, oil and salt, the partiality and indifference of the husband's family, and the indifference of the husband gradually exhausted the remaining affection between the two. Being tortured by life, she became increasingly taciturn, trapped in the prison of marriage, unable to control herself, and in a dilemma. After many years of marriage, her husband never touched her again. Is it a change of heart and indifference? Or is there something else hidden in your heart? She was full of doubts and secretly speculated, and it was not until later that she accidentally learned the unspeakable truth. The two lived under the same roof, living a mute marriage with nothing to say, and their lives were cold and alienated. She was forced to be strong and independent. She insisted on being delicate and decent in front of others, but she was tired, haggard and lonely behind others. Guarding this marriage in name only, enduring the long night of loneliness that no one understands. Years of neglect and alienation had left her heart filled with holes. In the end, she quietly fell into despair during the endless years of loneliness and embarked on a path of no return. How long will she have to make do with this middle-aged marriage that is nothing but an empty shell?

Reader comments

There is a sense of immersion. The author writes very well, describing the essence of marriage. Behind the glamorous appearance, whose family is not just a piece of cake, I feel the same. I really love you [blowing kiss] Follow the collection, add bookshelf, reading, you know [learned] [learned] [learned]
