Features: Andy's friend Paul fell in love with the pure, steady, and hardworking Mei, but he always kept this love hidden in his heart. Before leaving him, Andy's ex-wife had told him many times about divorce, and he never expected that the understanding Mei would also say divorce to him. Mei had always pursued a happy and fulfilling marriage, but such a marriage was unbearable to her, and she was determined to change. Mei finally realized that her marriage to Andy was a mistake; they had different cultures and too great a personality difference. She was determined to divorce Andy. She was unwilling to secretly love Paul and, in the end, rejected his love. The Chinese girl Mei Wang, with beautiful hopes for a happy marriage, was about to marry the British Andy. At first, life after marriage was sweet. A passionate love scene at the dining table left Mei unable to sleep, savoring it for a long time. However, conflicts soon arose. First was the issue of having children, then Mei had to work at a restaurant during her vacation, which was strongly opposed by Andy, who held classist views, leading to their first argument. In terms of sex, the differences in cultural backgrounds and perspectives between Mei and Andy also became apparent. When he discovered that Mei was driving alone to Bath to see her brother, he chased after her. Due to her lack of concentration on the highway, Mei took a wrong turn. Her car broke down, and she called Andy. Andy ran back and forth on the highway and finally found her. They embraced passionately and could not resist making love in the car. Two years passed. In these two years, both of them changed a lot. Andy described Mei as a Chinese dragon and a talkative doctor, while Mei called Andy a super lazy ghost. She no longer followed the rule of "do not air household dirty laundry." Mei had always pursued a happy and fulfilling marriage, but the reality of life made it unbearable to her, and she was determined to change. Paul invited her for a coffee at a nearby café, but unfortunately, he was seen by his wife, Catherine. On Andy's birthday, Catherine seduced the drunk Andy and had sex with him, deliberately leaving her underwear in the car. Mei saw Andy and Catherine dancing together in the bar and walked out, Paul following her out worriedly, and a heartbroken Mei almost collapsed into Paul's arms. The next morning, Andy's father was admitted to the hospital again. When Mei and Andy came back from the hospital, Mei found Catherine's underwear in the car. The couple had another conflict, and Mei moved out of the house. She realized that breaking up was so painful, like cutting off a piece of meat from her body. Disappointed, Mei returned to China alone. Two years later, Mei returned to the UK, this time formally applying for a divorce with Andy. This is a long novel that tells the story of 1995, when the London Chinese girl Mei Wang was about to become the bride of the British Andy Parsons in three days, and tonight was their last date before the wedding.
