Five years after they parted, Zhou Shiran returned to Shencheng to seek the truth about her parents' murder. By the time she came back, the city had changed completely. Her once inseparable friend was now engaged to her ex-boyfriend, and her investigation kept running into one obstacle after another. With no other choice, she turned to her ex. Everyone said she had gone back to Fu Qiheng for protection. Perhaps even she couldn't tell whether she was trying to win back his love or save her own life.
Zhou Shiran: "You still love me."
Fu Qiheng didn't deny it. "Yes, I love you. You may be the only woman I'll ever love in my life. But so what, Zhouzhou? The adult world isn't just about love. You can live perfectly well without it. I gave you my heart once, and you didn't care. You could leave without a word, and go five years without contacting me. No one is going to wait in the same place forever."
Lai Xiaoyou (female supporting character): "You think Fu Qiheng is sincerely helping you investigate? Why not consider that he might have something to do with your parents' murder? Maybe pretending to help you is just an excuse to keep you occupied."
One day after they were married, Zhou Shiran brought up the past. "The adult world isn't just about love. No one is going to die without the other."
Fu Qiheng: "I just misspoke. The adult world isn't just about love, but love is what makes it colorful."
A little scene:
Sister Liu rattled on: "I've always been curious. Do they have trouble communicating with each other? Rich people don't talk about everyday necessities. They talk about stocks, funds, and business. What can ordinary people like us talk about? We can't ask every day, 'Honey, did you eat today? What did you eat? What did it taste like? Did they use salt or sugar? Was there soy sauce?'"
Sister Liu told her in vivid detail: "At first, the husband patiently answers, 'Honey, I had abalone and sea cucumber today,' or, 'I had vegetables and fruit today.' But after a while, he might get fed up and shout, 'Why do you ask every day? Are you afraid I'll go eat shit and dirty your mouth?'"
There's a reason people have always said that marriages work best between families of equal standing. Zhou Shiran and Fu Qiheng's married life may not be full of major upheavals, but little conflicts never stop. Let's see how they resolve them and uncover the truth.
