Thirty-two-year-old Shen Che was once the youngest chief architect in Jiangcheng, but now he is a "full-time dad" who is talked about behind his back. His wife Song Wanqing is the marketing director of Jinhua Group, and her career is at its peak, while his daily job is to pick up and drop off his daughter, buy groceries and cook.
The change started one afternoon - he saw his wife's car going in the direction it shouldn't have gone.
The private investigator's report confirmed his suspicion: his wife had secret meetings with a young male assistant at the Lanting Hotel twice a week. But when he was about to show off, one detail stopped him - the person who approved the hotel private room was his father-in-law, Song Guotao, chairman of Jinhua Group.
Father helps his daughter book a room with her lover? This doesn't make sense.
As the investigation deepened, an even more shocking fact emerged: the male assistant assumed the identity of a dead man. And that dead man died in a strange car accident in California three years ago. After the car accident, a piece of land worth two billion fell into the hands of Jinhua Group. The whereabouts of the deceased's cousin are still unknown.
Cheating? Conspiracy? Or revenge?
When Shen Che finally got close to the truth, deep in the bamboo forest of the hot spring hotel, he heard the words spoken by his wife herself——
"Our marriage has been a mess from the beginning."
Six years of marriage, five years of fatherly love, everything is falling apart.
But in the darkness, there may be one last glimmer of light.
