   The male lead is premeditated, possessive, extremely jealous, and doting. Is what a man is supposed to do after marriage just the daily routine of a normal woman taking care of the kids? The female lead lives like a strong, independent woman, not having to take care of the kids and even having affairs both inside and outside of marriage. But this is just the normal life of an ordinary man. If he had known she was a scumbag, would he have married her? A tumultuous love triangle unfolds. She cheats on him right in front of him. Initially, his crush on her was also a shameful affair, a result of his father's influence and his own rise to power. He was completely unaware of her true nature, focusing solely on raising the child, transforming himself from a young man into a haggard old man. She felt sorry for him and hired eight nannies, but he insisted on doing everything himself. So, she resorted to kissing a young male college student under the guise of delivering takeout to relieve her boredom, almost getting caught by him. Later, she started going to karaoke bars to invite her former school heartthrob home. He was furious, jealous of her seemingly legitimate relationship, yet helpless. Then he changed, no longer actively caring for the child. She was about to fire the nannies, but he hired eight more. He even started secretly using her skincare products, trying to rekindle his youthful romance. His parents' pressure to have a child led to a scheme that shocked both of them. He made a pact with her, took the money, and disappeared, leaving the child with her. Later, she returned to the place where they shared memories, suffering from unrequited love. Will he ever reappear and be with her again?
