Contemporary romance / Ensemble tragedy / Social realism
Song Qingci marries Lu Yanzhou, the man she has secretly loved for years, believing that even an iceberg will eventually melt.
After three years of marriage, enduring the silent treatment, lonely nights, and a gastric hemorrhage with no one there to care for her, she finally understands: some people’s hearts are not won by waiting. They were never open to anyone in the first place.
But just as she decides to leave, she discovers that her husband’s “first love” is his half-sister, and that Lu Yanzhou himself suffers from hereditary emotional detachment disorder.
It’s not that he doesn’t love; he doesn’t dare to love.
A daughter lies gravely ill, a best friend’s life is ruined, and everyone struggles in their own cage.
There are no truly evil people in this world, only poor souls driven onward by fate and obsession.
