By day, he's a rough, domestic man who chops wood and cooks; by night, he transforms into an out-of-control beast, branding her with his own mark. He uses the most brutal methods to keep her by his side, yet secretly expresses his clumsy apologies with liniment and hot fried eggs. This 1970s military marriage, a mix of hurt and attempts to win her over, makes Zhang Yuelan's escape path fraught with difficulties, leaving one wanting to explore the ultimate fate of this contradictory relationship.
