Cheng Jiasui is the Mrs. Tan everyone in Hong Kong envies.
Her husband, Tan Yongxu, is refined, handsome, and tall, and comes from a family of great wealth and status. He is the new head of the Tan family, with immense wealth, power, status, and prestige.
To outsiders, she has a blissful marriage and a pair of sweet, well-behaved twins, a boy and a girl.
In truth, Cheng Jiasui lives in constant fear with a madman.

"April 18: My Jiasui took the kids and ran off to her parents' home. She won't answer my calls."
"May 3: Jiasui forgot the curfew and didn't come home until after midnight."
"June 26: Darling, how dare you meet your old flame behind my back?"
Tan Yongxu's terrifying need for control leaves Cheng Jiasui gasping for air. Whenever this happens, he sends the children out with the servants so he can punish her without restraint.
"How should I punish you, hmm? My darling Jiasui."
Cheng Jiasui can't take Tan Yongxu's intense punishments or his endless schemes to spice up their married life. She can't help thinking that one day, she might die from it (?)...
She wants a divorce.
She doesn't want to live with him anymore.

Cheng Jiasui and Tan Yongxu both know that their twisted, sickly marriage was wrong from the very beginning.
Back then, Cheng Jiasui was already engaged to her childhood sweetheart.
Tan Yongxu was the third party who stole her away.
