Lin Wan, an urban white-collar worker, met Chen An, a 40-year-old physical therapist due to shoulder and neck strain. His precise techniques and mature temperament made her fall deeply in love. The ambiguous contact in the physical therapy room became an opportunity for the two to warm up. After her best friend Su Yao noticed Lin Wan's feelings, she deliberately approached Chen An in the name of experiencing physical therapy. She frequently flirted with her with her sexy charm, which aroused Lin Wan's intense jealousy and emotional struggle.
Chen An swayed between Lin Wan's affection and Su Yao's initiative, and one time after drinking, he lost control and had a relationship with Su Yao. After the incident, Su Yao's deliberate showing off completely shattered Lin Wan's expectations, and the emotional rift between the two was difficult to heal. In pain, Lin Wan chose to escape, cut off all contact, and went to a small town to start a new life. She gradually got out of the shadow of emotional pain and embraced new feelings.
Chen An was deeply regretful, and after closing his studio, he devoted himself to charity physiotherapy in the mountains to make up for his mistakes. Many years later, the two reunited by chance and settled down. This relationship, which began with tenderness at the fingertips and ended with out-of-control betrayal, eventually became a mark of each other's growth, and they became peaceful and relieved.
Purpose: The novel is based on the emotional entanglement of urban men and women, explores the game of desire and restraint in adult emotions, reveals the devastating impact of betrayal on intimate relationships, and ultimately uses the protagonists' growth and relief to convey a life attitude of facing pain and reconciling with the past.
