Lin Wei is thirty years old, married, and has an eleven-month-old son.
Her life was divided into several parts: the ordinary employee in the company who dared not ask for leave, the wife in the living room who was always waiting for her husband to help, the daughter-in-law in the kitchen who was silent amidst her mother-in-law's critical voice, and the mother sitting alone on the sofa at four in the morning with her feverish child in her arms.
Husband Chen Mo is not a bad person - he is just always playing games, working overtime, saying "come soon", and then continuing to lie down. The mother-in-law is not a bad person - she just always feels that her son is working hard, her daughter-in-law is not virtuous enough, and her grandson should be raised in her own way.
Everything wasn't too bad. It's just that no one wipes the toothpaste on the sink, it's just that there's only one person's name on the lumpy vaccine book, and it's just that the bed next to her is always empty when she turns over in the middle of the night.
The water temperature is slowly rising. Lin Wei thought that it would be over if she endured it for a while. Until she discovered that some warm water is not to cook you, but to let you swim into other people's pots without knowing it.
Thirty years old, divorced, raising a baby, and starting all over again.
After three years of boiling in warm water, she finally learned to jump out on her own.
