Zhang Lihong is very confident about her life. In her career, the company has just gone through the unexpected loss of its CEO, but under her efforts, the company's business is progressing smoothly, and she is likely to become the new general manager; in her family, her marriage has gone steadily for 20 years, her daughter Zhou Yinchang is already a junior in college, and her husband Zhou Zhijun is a typical scholar, spending most of his time immersed in his personal world. Everything is as orderly as she manages the company, and she handles it with ease. However, a multimedia message ends Zhang Lihong's peaceful life: a photo shows her in an ambiguous posture with another man... The extortionist continuously presents Zhang Lihong with various bizarre extortion demands, seemingly not targeting money... Zhang Lihong's close friend, radio host Sun Bo, also gets caught up in this crisis. She witnesses Zhang Lihong being relentlessly pursued by someone and feels powerless to help. Zhang Lihong's inner world gradually unfolds; as a strong woman, she is not as glamorous as outsiders perceive. Zhang Lihong invests all her energy and time into work, neglecting communication with her husband Zhou Zhijun, resulting in a separation in their marital life, which leads Zhang Lihong to unexpectedly have a lover... The rational Zhang Lihong ultimately ends her relationship with the lover, but the significant mistake has already been made— the extortionist's appearance is merely the catalyst for the aggravation of family conflicts... To maintain her family and reputation, Zhang Lihong compromises step by step. She tries to meet the extortionist's demands, giving him money and accepting conditions that humiliate her in public, but the facts increasingly prove that the extortionist is likely a patient with a psychological disorder who does not really want money; he is merely interested in humiliating Zhang Lihong. Finally, the extortionist attacks Zhang Lihong's company’s local area network, crossing the final line for her. Zhang Lihong dials the police, refusing to play along with the extortionist any longer. Zhang Lihong decides to confess her mistakes to her family, knowing that her honesty will plunge her family into stormy chaos. Sun Bo tries to stop Zhang Lihong, but fails, and Zhang Lihong finally reveals everything... Faced with Zhang Lihong's confession, Zhou Zhijun surprisingly remains calm, as if he had already known everything: it turns out that after years of being together, Zhou Zhijun had begun to harbor doubts about Zhang Lihong. In a moment of impulse, he had hired a professional named "God's Eye" online to investigate Zhang Lihong. After providing "God's Eye" with all her information, "God's Eye" disappeared, and this "God's Eye" is the very culprit behind the extortion of Zhang Lihong. Zhou Zhijun finds himself in confusion and conflict, while Zhang Lihong has openly admitted all her faults and is prepared to face all the consequences. What should he do? The family crisis is not yet over, as their daughter Zhou Yinchang has even changed her major without permission and brought home a boyfriend who is the same age as her parents! The daughter's new views on family and career touch Zhang Lihong and Zhou Zhijun, who break free from their complaints and misunderstandings towards each other and begin to try to understand each other's inner feelings. The Zhang family seems to have avoided the family crisis brought about by Zhang Lihong's confession. However, the hidden secret within Zhou Zhijun continues to torment him... Finally, as Zhang Lihong begins to learn how to soften her character and Zhou Zhijun gradually becomes stronger and more cheerful, they sit down together, and Zhou Zhijun reveals the story behind the extortionist... This carefully maintained family finally collapses as they decide to divorce, but the years of feelings make the process of their divorce exceptionally delicate and arduous. The divorce turns into a catalyst for reminiscing about the warmth of years gone by. As they both realize the goodness in each other, they finally obtain the divorce certificate... Now both single, Zhang Lihong and Zhou Zhijun finally meet without the responsibilities and obligations of marriage. They finally express their true feelings; Zhou Zhijun's misunderstanding of Zhang Lihong's career success stems from traditional beliefs of male superiority, while Zhang Lihong, in her insistence on strength, forgets that she is a wife, a mother, and a woman. They discover their relationship is filled with misunderstandings and subjective assumptions—the lover and the extortionist are not the reasons for their divorce; rather, it is their failure to communicate and their indifference to each other that led to the end of their marriage. Zhang Lihong removes her strong facade and begins to truly feel life again. With the help of Sun Bo and her daughter, she starts to change, learning to smile and live. She begins to document her daily moods with a camera. Zhou Zhijun also starts his own process of rebirth: he exercises his willpower at a mountaineering club; he learns how to buy gifts for his family; he learns to drive, preparing to step out of his personal world and experience life. When he hears about Zhang Lihong's fall, he rushes into the cliff without hesitation, risking his life to protect the woman he loves. Zhou Zhijun takes Zhang Lihong on an outdoor adventure trip. In the heavy rain, they support each other, and during the wait for sunrise, their faces glow together in the red dawn as they peacefully enjoy the merging with nature. Can they rediscover the love they once had? Zhou Yinchang, Shen Baodong, and Sun Bo's wedding takes place as scheduled. Amid the magnificent "Wedding March," Zhou Zhijun and Zhang Lihong gaze at the young couple who are about to begin their journey of marriage, tears shimmering in their eyes.
