    Reader note

    At He Shu and Li Yibo's wedding, sunlight streamed through stained glass windows, illuminating their happy faces. In that moment, they believed they had the world. However, married life was far from the idyllic picture they had imagined. He Shu's mother-in-law, a traditional and strict woman, was suspicious and dissatisfied with every decision He Shu made. From household chores to parenting philosophies, her mother-in-law always judged He Shu by her own standards, causing her immense pressure and frustration. Meanwhile, Li Yibo always seemed busy with work, often working late into the night and rarely returning home even on weekends. He Shu began to suspect that something was amiss behind his busy schedule. Then one day, she accidentally discovered Li Yibo's intimate chats with other women, and the truth struck her like a bolt from the blue. She tried to communicate with Li Yibo, but every conversation ended in arguments and cold wars. Under this double blow, He Shu's mental state began to deteriorate. She began to suffer from insomnia, loss of appetite, and even felt suffocated at times. Her emotions fluctuated wildly, sometimes angry, sometimes desperate, feeling herself steadily approaching the brink of collapse. Finally, on a stormy night, He Shu made a difficult decision—she wanted a divorce. After the divorce, although she lost her marriage, He Shu unexpectedly rediscovered herself. She began attending various self-improvement courses, learning how to live independently and how to manage her emotions. She also started regularly going to psychological counseling, facing her depression with a professional psychologist. As time went on, her mental state gradually improved, and the symptoms of depression subsided. In this process of self-reconstruction, He Shu met Qiu Yiwu. Qiu Yiwu was her former colleague, and his positive attitude towards life and meticulous care for He Shu gradually won her heart. They ran together, worked out together, and shared their joys and sorrows. Qiu Yiwu's appearance brought He Shu a long-lost sense of warmth and security.
