Emotional Defense Mechanism

When Su Ho was fifty-seven, he discovered that he could no longer love. She is a well-versed "Su Daji" in the advertising industry. She has a rich love history and has been surrounded by men from the age of seventeen to fifty-seven. She controls every relationship with precision and neatness - leaving before others leave her and building walls before others hurt her. She has used this defense mechanism for thirty years and never failed. Until her fifty-seventh birthday, she was sitting alone in a small noodle shop. A bowl of spicy dandan noodles reminded her of the boy who delivered noodles to her on a bicycle thirty years ago. That was the first time she activated her defense mechanism—to push him away before she started to dislike him. Later, she pushed away more and more people: the day she walked into the maternity hospital alone at the age of thirty-two, the afternoon when she didn't dare to go downstairs before running away from marriage at the age of twenty-nine, and everyone she loved was pushed away by her own hands. When the twenty-five-year-old gym boy Xiao Zhou broke into her life, when she took him to open the iron door of the old house that had been closed for thirty years, and when she received the eight words left by her fiancé twenty years ago - "Suho, you don't have to be so nice" - the high defensive wall she had worked so hard to build finally began to show cracks. It turns out she is not immune to injury. She was too afraid of getting hurt, so she pushed everyone away in advance.
