Liu Qinghuan, a 26-year-old interior designer, and Lu Wanru, a 23-year-old book editor, are close sisters in the eyes of others. After her parents passed away unexpectedly, Liu Qinghuan and her young Lu Wanru depended on each other for life. Her elder sister's protection and younger sister's dependence quietly fermented into a relationship that transcended family affection over the years.
Under the neon lights of the modern city, they carefully hide this "extraordinary" feeling. Liu Qinghuan was always afraid that this relationship would hurt the sensitive Lu Wanru, but Lu Wanru had already mustered up the courage to hand over a heartfelt note on an overtime night. After the two broke the window paper, the first thing they had to face was the rumors from their relatives and the strange eyes of their colleagues - their aunt scolded them for "violating ethics", and Lu Wanru's boss even hinted that she should "pay attention to the influence".
But they didn't back down. Liu Qinghuan used the bonus from the design project to buy a small apartment and painted the living room mint green, which Lu Wanru liked. While Liu Qinghuan stayed up late to work on drawings, Lu Wanru cooked warm white fungus soup and drew a cute little sun on the edge of the drawings. They quietly received the rings that symbolized their commitment and called each other "lovers" in their small home. When the two decided to have a child, they went through the hardships of ovulation and doubts from the outside world, and finally welcomed their daughter "Nian Nian" through in vitro fertilization.
Nowadays, Liu Qinghuan hides the silhouettes of mother and daughter in the design draft, while Lu Wanru writes short stories about her family and publishes them in niche publications. One weekend afternoon, Nian Nian was sitting on the carpet holding a stuffed bear. Liu Qinghuan put his arm around Lu Wanru's waist from behind. The sun shone on the three of them through the gauze curtains. There was no earth-shattering plot, only the smooth and steady flow of perfection.
Purpose: Break the inherent perception that "family and love are either/or", explore the courage and perseverance of modern women in emotional choices, and show that love has nothing to do with identity labels, but the warm core of mutual support.
