As the only daughter of a well-off society, Lin Wan had a fully paid wedding house and a generous dowry, and ignored her parents' advice to marry Chen Kai. It was only after marriage that she realized that her husband was a serious mother's baby, and her mother-in-law Zhang Lan was an NPD controlling personality who was good at gaslighting. On her wedding day, her mother-in-law forcibly moved into her property and kept misappropriating her dowry to subsidize her sister-in-law. While playing the role of a loving mother to the outside world to gain sympathy from the neighbors, she suppressed and robbed her dignity and private property at home.
Lin Wan repeatedly gave in and tolerated her, but after the unexpected pregnancy, she encountered even more severe difficulties. During an argument, she was maliciously pushed by her mother-in-law. When Chen Kai came home, he beat her without distinguishing right from wrong. The relationship that had been in her for many years was completely broken. Heartbroken, Lin Wan no longer compromised. She secretly recorded and kept all evidence of transfers and medical records. She firmly held on to her pre-marital assets and filed for divorce. She tore through her mother-in-law's hypocritical mask in court and successfully cut off this suffocating marriage.
After the divorce, Lin Wan concentrated on her career, waited for her childbirth, and raised her children safely with the support of her natal family. She completely blocked her ex-husband and would never accept any request for reconciliation. After her husband's family lost her financial support, conflicts broke out: her sister-in-law went into debt, her credit was damaged, and she cut off contact with her mother; Chen Kai was trapped in his mother's mental control all his life, his career failed, and he was alone; Zhang Lanzhong betrayed his relatives and left, and he suffered from illness in his later years and had no one to take care of him. The story ends with a clear cause-and-effect closed loop, telling a realistic story of a woman's self-rescue as an only child stays away from a toxic marriage, keeps herself, and is stable for the rest of her life.
