The heroine is an "invisible person in the workplace" who has outstanding abilities but a reserved personality, and refuses all office gossip. She and the male protagonist are a secretly married couple. They agreed that it would not be beneficial to each other's career development if they made it public, so they maintained the status of "the most familiar strangers". She became a direct victim when the company blanketly excluded all married female employees from management to "avoid internal nepotism." Under the cold advice of the male protagonist to "take the overall situation into consideration", she chose to have an open marriage, trying to use the pressure of public opinion to clear her name. However, she underestimated the power and authority of the male protagonist in the company - by "reporting his wife's violation of regulations," he instead packaged himself as a model of political correctness for the company. The heroine, separated from her relatives and isolated by the entire department, had to confront her husband head-on in the workplace. Every meeting was like a marriage mediation, and every project negotiation was like a property division.
