The wedding is not the end, but the day when reality truly begins.
Lin Zhixia thought that after the wedding, life would become stable little by little.
But reality did not buffer her. Pregnancy comes suddenly, so you have to take a step back from work; after the child is born, sleep breaks, breast milk increase, elders' intervention, and postpartum trough all come together. It's not that she and Zhou Xubai don't love each other, but they slowly discovered that love cannot automatically solve confinement, parenting, interpretation rights, family boundaries and the echo of the original family.
When they finally looked up from the trough, new problems arose again. Lin Zhixia wants to regain her career position, Zhou Xubai needs to learn to take a step back between entrepreneurship and family, children begin to grow into their own world, and parents are gradually approaching the age where they need to be cared for.
From the wedding to middle age, from "who gives in first" to "no one should use themselves as the only solution", they rewrite the way of getting along, family rules and life order along the way. In the end, no one wins, and no one lives up to the perfect template in the eyes of others. They just finally know that the way life can really progress is to stand firm on their own first, and then stand side by side with each other.
