However, as they delve into the complexities of marriage, they realize that navigating relationships with their respective parents poses unexpected challenges.

From the outset, the couple grapples with the loss of personal space and the daunting task of homeownership. Conflicts arise not only between themselves but also with their parents, whose differing opinions and values create friction. Amidst the turmoil, Gu Moli and Zhu Jincao confront the harsh realities of their upbringing and the need to confront their own shortcomings.
After reluctantly deciding to divorce during a cooling-off period, they come to terms with the fact that their struggles are largely self-inflicted. Yet, with the divorce certificate in hand, they face a new set of challenges that test their resolve and resilience. Trust issues, financial woes, and external pressures threaten to tear them apart once again.
However, through adversity, Gu Moli and Zhu Jincao discover newfound strength and maturity. They learn to prioritize family and acknowledge their responsibilities, while their parents also transform, realizing the importance of allowing their children to forge their paths.
In a heartwarming conclusion, Gu Moli and Zhu Jincao reconcile and remarry, fortified by their shared experiences and newfound wisdom. Their journey underscores the notion that growth is a journey fraught with setbacks but ultimately leads to greater understanding, resilience, and love.
