[Era + Marriage first, love later + Two-way redemption + Contrast loyal dog]
As soon as Su Wan opened her eyes, she traveled into the restrictive 1980s and became the wronged first wife who was abused by her ex-husband and criticized by her neighbors. She did not want to be trapped in a depressing and loveless marriage, so she decided to divorce despite the rumors, left the house, and relied on her excellent tailoring skills to survive on her own.
When she first entered a new life, she was strapped for money and had to deal with her ex-husband's entanglement and neighbors' gossip. In order to avoid trouble and protect each other, Su Wan reached a partnership agreement with Lu Zheng, who had returned from the army, had a cold personality, was taciturn, and was covered in old wounds. The two agreed to support each other externally and resist disputes, and to abide by boundaries internally and not interfere in each other's private affairs. They would only be mutually beneficial partners and not fall in love. They would get together and part ways when the time comes.
The two always maintained their sense of proportion and never fell in love at first sight. They could only care for each other silently in ordinary days and tide over difficulties side by side. The cold cooperation agreement quietly breeds restrained and hot feelings in the day-to-day interactions.
Su Wan devoted herself to the tailoring business. Starting from scattered orders from neighbors, she developed steadily, gradually breaking away from the shackles of the times on women, carving out her own way of tailoring, and living an independent and magnanimous life.
She was always sober, always remembered the agreement, and was ready to leave at any time and remarry and choose a career. But Lu Zheng, who had always been indifferent and self-possessed, had already been deeply moved by the silent protection.
What was originally a partnership deal in which everyone got what they needed, finally made the rough guy who had been cold and cold all his life confused and panicked for her who was sober and independent.
