Quick Precis
This drama is about infidelity within a marriage. Can they get pass it?!!
Episode 1-2
Su Ran is an eye surgeon who had been away from her husband and son for six months for further study.
When she came back everything seemed to be the same in the surface. Mingqi, her husband of 15 years seemed happy to see her. But there were little changes that surprised her. For a starter, he had acquired a new car and the music on the car was not the usual classical she preferred.
When they got from back the airport, they found their apartment ransacked. She then found out from the police that the burglary occurred during the previous night and therefore her husband had not been home.
She trusted her husband implicitly so when he told her that he was wining and dining a client and had drunk too much he stayed in a hotel, blah blah blah. She believed this.
She decided to surprise her husband at his work one lunchtime. Noticing that there was another woman in Mingqi’s office, her husband’s associate did his best to distract her and keep her away until the ‘other woman’ left.
Their son has been staying with his grandmother, Mingqi convinced Su Ran to let their son stay another night as they will be going out that night to celebrate their fifteen wedding anniversary.
They were having a lovely time, he gave her a pearl necklace to go with her jade one. They were dancing cheek to cheek when his mobile phone rang incessantly. Su Ran encouraged him to answer it. It was the ‘other woman’. She lied to Mingqi that she had been robbed and attacked and she wanted him to rescue her. Mingqi had no choice because the other woman has been acting strangely. She was the type to make a scene if she doesn’t get what she wanted.
He left Su Ran in the restaurant telling her to wait for him there as he was not going to be long, he was just going to sort out a problem with a client.
But of course, the other woman, Hua Sha, did everything to delay Mingqi. She scratched herself badly to look pathetically pitiful. Mingqi stayed with her and stood up his wife.
Episode 3
Su Ran was beginning to suspect that there was something going on between Mingqi and the woman called Hua Sha when she checked the call history of his mobile phone.
As a damage limitation, Mingqi confessed that he became rather friendly with Hua Sha but there is nothing untoward that is happening.
Su Ran was just beginning to forgive Mingqi but she found a new mobile phone hidden in the car. It was ringing and there was a wallpaper of Mingqi and Hua Sha looking very intimate.
SuRan was so shocked that she crushed the car and got a mild concussion.
SuRan told Mingqi to get out and she will be divorcing him.
Suran suffers from OCD, where is constantly washes her hands.
Episode 4
Mingqi really can’t get over the fact that her husband slept with someone else. It was really a one-night stand? It seems Mingqi is more attracted to Hua Sha than he was prepared to admit.
Despite his wife having found out about his affair, he continued to go to Hua Sha whenever she was in trouble.
I supposed he finds that they have plenty more in common
Episode 5
Su Ran had had the last straw. She found Mingqi’s jumper with lipstick on, when he said he was going to see his mother.
She was like a woman possessed, which is natural for someone grieving from adultery, she disinfected the whole house.
She asked him to sign the divorce paper but he refused. So she packed her bags and left.
