This novel profoundly depicts the practical difficulties and emotional fission that Xu Xiaodong and Wang Xiaofang faced after breaking through the shackles of their respective marriages. The aura of the old office romance gradually faded away in the daily necessities of life. The pressure of mortgages, entanglements with their exes, and parent-child responsibilities continued to erode their relationship. From passion to indifference, from expectation to regret, the two cycled through quarrels and silence, and discovered that "finally getting married" was actually the beginning of another besieged city. When love reveals its most unbearable side under the pressure of reality, they suddenly realize: some feelings are destined to only grow in the dark, and will eventually wither once exposed to the sun. This marriage that started in the name of love eventually left them with nowhere to escape.
Intention: Passionate love sinks into the dust of reality
