Features: Marriage is God's garden. God created Adam and Eve, letting them love each other and help one another, living in the garden of marriage. God entrusted Adam and Eve with the mission of raising offspring and incorporated a red cherry into this mission—sexuality. Marriage is sacred; you cannot give up until the very end! The novel depicts the family life of Chinese Taiwanese and foreign Chinese working in Beijing, using simple and fluent language to vividly portray a group of characters. The men among them are often senior executives in foreign companies, middle-aged and successful in their careers, yet unable to resist the temptation of desire, leading their marriages into crisis. The women among them are mostly well-educated, supported by their successful husbands' financial resources, and stay at home as full-time housewives. To save their marriages, the wives spontaneously formed mutual-aid groups, exchanging ideas and helping each other, even resorting to legal means, which brought a turn of events to their marriages.
