The Erroneous Love Affair Between a Burgundy Suit and Pearls

In Red Chromite Mine, the marriage between Chinese teacher Jiang Jincui and Red Chromite Mine chief engineer Sun Huicheng is full of loneliness because Sun Huicheng is busy with work all year round. At a trade union party, Jiang Jincui met Zhou Mingxuan, the group's technical consultant. Zhou Mingxuan's understanding and respect filled Jiang Jincui's emotional void, and the relationship between the two gradually grew closer, from sharing teaching experiences and daily care to Zhou Mingxuan repairing her bicycle and giving her her favorite candy cakes.​ Zhou Mingxuan's love for Jiang Jincui grew stronger, and he invited her to watch a movie and gave her a pearl necklace. Eventually, the two of them had an emotional cross-border affair in a hotel. Afterwards, Jiang Jincui fell into guilt and struggle. On one side was Sun Huicheng's honest dedication, the child's smiling face, and on the other side was Zhou Mingxuan's gentle company. She tried to sever contact with Zhou Mingxuan, but fell into conflict because of Zhou Mingxuan's persistence.​ A warm family scene made Jiang Jincui wake up and determined to return to his family. Zhou Mingxuan eventually left the mining area due to job transfer, while Jiang Jincui devoted his energy to family and teaching. Many years later, the two met by chance at the station. They both had a happy family, and their past misunderstandings turned into lessons accumulated over time. After Jiang Jincui and Sun Huicheng retired, they stayed together in the mining area and realized the true meaning of happiness in ordinary life. The past incident about the burgundy suit and pearls became a precious memory that reminded her to cherish the present.
