Due to her personality and being neglected in the family, "I" rashly handled her emotional problems time and again, allowing her marital life to be exploited, schemed against, and extorted by high-handed individuals, low EQ individuals, and shameless people, ultimately leading to a sorrowful ending. From immaturity to maturity, "I" learns life's lessons while always nurturing her individuality and staying true to her life's path.
