Features: This novel tells the story of love between a mother and daughter, and a pair of siblings. At the age of 45, the mother tumbles back into the depths of love for a "him" who offers no promises, ready to sacrifice everything. In the absence of maternal love, the son involuntarily throws himself into the arms of Hao Lanqing, who is over a decade older. Although Hao Lanqing, upon being reminded by her brother and verifying it herself, is aware of the other's mother complex, she still cannot resist the love that she cannot let go of and dives headfirst into the flames. Love is an eternal war between men and women. Because of love, she stakes her entire remaining life of solitude on him and dashes headlong toward him. Due to her attachment to and confusion about her mother, he falls in love recklessly, stumbling into the gentle embrace of his female superior.
Thus, this emotional battle of a four-person game becomes entangled, exposed to each other's gazes—the mother and daughter, the siblings, and the husband and wife. In the end, how will they resolve this tangled mess of emotions? Here, family and love, desire and perseverance, engage in a fierce competition. This is a very realistic novel.
