Imperfect Us

Lin Man's life always seems to be "arranged": Abandoned by her parents, she grew up with her grandparents, bound by the label of "sensible", and dropped out of school early to help the family; when she grew up, in order to meet the expectations of her elders, she married the seemingly reliable Fu Kun, but due to the patriarchal preference of her husband's family and the neglect of her husband, she gradually suffered from depression and finally chose to divorce.​ She thought divorce would be a relief, but the indifference of her original family and the embarrassment of homelessness made her fall into despair and even chose to end her life.​ At the same time, relatives and friends around Lin Man are also experiencing their own life issues: cousin He Lu eloped for love, but her husband cheated on her, and finally started over with her children with the support of her parents; cousin Wang Jingchen was overwhelmed by the "pressure to marry" and struggled between "others' expectations" and "self-needs"; cousin Zhou Nianhe, because of an emotional scam in college, has since regarded "making money" as a sense of security and rejected everyone who comes close to her.​
