Synopsis
In Ling Ran's life, the last thing he wanted to show to others was his embarrassment. The arrogance that refuses to bow is engraved in his bones, even if his heart is in turmoil, he always wears high heels in front of others, his back is straight, and he refuses to show any vulnerability to others. She was heartbroken about the unrequited love she had when she was young, but it was shattered into ashes in the end. She was completely defeated without even saying a single confession. Later, she gritted her teeth and went to work as a teacher in a small town. Her life was stable, and she met the man who gave her a sense of ritual and said "all eyes are on you". She thought she had finally waited for redemption, and thought that this time, she could live out the rest of her life safely. But marriage is never a matter of sincerity. From sweet-smelling oil to red-faced quarrels, from talking about everything to relatively silent cold violence, to the endless entanglement with the husband's family about trivial matters, in the end there is only a cold divorce certificate and a mess of chicken feathers on the ground. For countless late nights, she locked her door and relied on small sleeping pills to survive the boundless darkness. She was so anxious that she was on the verge of collapse, but she still refused to say a word of suffering to others. She hit rock bottom with her, and there were two girls who accompanied her through her youth. Lu Jinxi, who was once flamboyant and free-spirited in love, became what her relatives called a "leftover girl" after graduation. After two years of taking the exams, she was repeatedly hit the wall. She finally got a job, and was forced to the point of mental breakdown due to the heavy workload and her mother's endless pressure to get married. Xia Jinye, who was always careless, the most loyal and protective of her, rushed out to protect her immediately, lost herself in a love affair, resigned from her job because of her boyfriend's PUA, and was idle at home for two or three years. She lost her job, lost her confidence, and even the light in her eyes was almost extinguished. Three girls, at the same intersection in life, all fell into the dust. Love can be deceptive, marriages can collapse, work can be tedious, and life seems to always be full of difficulties waiting for them to bear. There is no salvation from heaven, no miracle of reversal, and no scumbag who looks back. In the days when they were desperate, they made so many calls to each other that they cried until they choked with tears. They remembered the words they made when they were young, lying on the desk in the classroom with a smile, "No matter how difficult it is in the future, we will go on together." They support each other, accompany each other, and pull each other out of the abyss little by little. Ling Ran slowly picked up the pride that had been worn away by marriage, Lu Jinxi learned to reconcile with the pressure and refused to be kidnapped by the pressure to marry, and Xia Jinye rediscovered the fearless self he used to be. Later they finally understood: In this journey of life, no one can hold an umbrella for you, let alone finish it for you. You don't have to chase the light, you don't have to wait for someone to achieve perfection. If you bloom, the butterflies will come. When you live as your own sun, countless stars will naturally come to you. Intention: Women are self-reliant and self-healing, growing toward the sun, taking themselves as light, and being reborn with best friends.
