Qin Luo is independent and strong-willed, and she has never let her in-laws get the better of her, before or after marriage. She lets her husband drive her car, but she never gives up control of her own life. Pressure to have a baby, a meddling mother-in-law, and a husband who always takes his family’s side: the tension builds little by little during her pregnancy.
She never expected childbirth to become a sudden collapse. Just when she is at her weakest and most helpless, her in-laws’ probing and her husband’s absence come to a head.
Theme: A woman’s independent growth within marriage
