Fu Seoul's childhood was not happy, and when she was 3 years old, she suffered the first major blow in her life - the divorce of her parents. She lives with her mother in a humble rice barn, which is full of rotten brown rice and crawling rats competing with her for the limited living space.
This environment made Fu Seoul, who was still a baby, feel extremely frightened, and she was afraid that rats would climb on her body.
In order to keep her mother and prevent her from remarrying someone else, Fu Seoul did crazy things - she drank the whole bottle of dish soap. The poisonous liquid burned her delicate esophagus, and she rolled on the ground in agony, eventually dying in danger.
This crazy behavior made her mother helpless, and when she was 3 years old, she still married another man, leaving Fu Seoul heartbroken on the sickbed.
A few years later, Fu Seoul's biological father wanted to take her to live with him. But in the face of this man who had barely appeared, Fu Seoul was full of anger and resistance. She picked up the small stool beside her and threw it at her biological father, shouting incoherently "devil" and "demon".
Years of trauma have left her extremely insecure, and she is afraid to connect with anyone for fear of being abandoned again.
At the age of 26, Fu Seoul, who was afraid of loneliness, chose to marry Lao Liu, and she urgently needed a harbor to rely on......
When Lao Liu saw Fu Seoul for the first time, the light emanating from Fu Seoul deeply attracted him. In Lao Liu's eyes, Fu Seoul is like a rising sun, shining with dazzling light.
She has fair skin, three-dimensional facial features, and is beautiful even without makeup. Lao Liu was deeply fascinated by her beauty, and after dating her, he was wholeheartedly good to her.
In the past 7 years of marriage, Lao Liu has been taking care of Fu Seoul as before. When she is grumpy, he cares for her gently; When she was tired from work, he took care of the housework and everything. In Lao Liu's heart, Fu Seoul is the most beautiful existence in his life.
But Fu Seoul does not have Lao Liu in her heart, she regards Lao Liu as a tool that can be replaced, an item that can provide a sense of security.
When Fu Seoul, who had a successful career, no longer needed the sense of security provided by Lao Liu, she chose to abandon this "tool" and divorced Lao Liu. Lao Liu was in pain, he thought that Fu Seoul would grow old with him.
A year later, Fu Seoul remarried, because she found that she really needed Lao Liu — she needed him to help her balance career and life. So Lao Liu became a tool to be used again, only this time, he was willing.
Fu Seoul and Lao Liu's married life has been dominated by Fu Seoul from the beginning. Her personality is strong and fickle, and Lao Liu is gentle and introverted, and it is difficult to adapt to her sudden changes.
Even the major decision of divorce and remarriage came from Fu Seoul's thoughts. When she filed for divorce for the first time, Lao Liu was in pain, but there was no room for opposition.
A year later, she regretted remarrying, but Lao Liu still happily went there and played the role of a good husband again.
In this marriage, Fu Seoul controls all aspects. She dominated the entire marriage. Even if it was just a small complaint, Lao Liu would accept it silently, for fear of annoying this open-mouthed woman.
Gradually, Lao Liu lost his self-expression as an independent individual. His heart was repressed to death, like an empty shell without a soul.
This distorted marriage relationship has caused Lao Liu to experience 15 years of torment. He worked hard, but he didn't find solace for his soul. Fu Seoul has long forgotten the sweet love in marriage, but Lao Liu's heart is still beating softly, bleeding, and aching.
The success of her career gave Fu Seoul great confidence, and she began to feel that she could do anything. Once upon a time, Fu Seoul was still a fragile woman who needed to rely on Lao Liu's safe haven to survive the ups and downs of life.
And now, Fu Seoul is already a successful woman, she is driving her own business and shining.
Lao Liu has worked with her for many years, but she still stays where she is. He doesn't understand the mentality of a strong woman, and he can't provide the spiritual resonance that Fu Seoul wants. Fu Seoul began to feel that Lao Liu was boring and had a negative personality, and the love between them had dissipated without a trace.
So, Fu Seoul once again chose to divorce. She decided to give up the relationship that had always held her back and chase the pinnacle of her career. For her, career success is far more important than a relationship.
Lao Liu understood her thoughts and took the initiative to let go, not wanting to be a stumbling block for her to fly to the peak. Their once sweet marriage just disappeared in the torrent. Fu Seoul is like a bird that has been released, spreading its wings and flying high; Lao Liu watched her back in place until she couldn't see it.
The breakdown of the marriage has sparked public thinking about the relationship between family and career.
In this marriage, Lao Liu devoted himself wholeheartedly to his family, while Fu Seoul devoted himself to his career. In the end, Fu Seoul's career was successful, but Lao Liu's efforts did not get due returns.
In recent years, there has been a widespread appreciation for money and career achievement. People appreciate those successful women, but they can't see the support and dedication of their husbands behind them. Many men silently take on most of the family responsibilities and are not treated with the respect they deserve.
This phenomenon is cause for vigilance.
A healthy society needs to pay attention to the balance of economic and emotional contributions. We can't simply stay on the side of women's rights forever and ignore the hard work of the other side.
Family harmony requires both parties to operate together.
This marriage change made everyone reflect on a lot of things. Fu Seoul may have been freed in the end, but she lost her rare true love. This is actually not the most complete result for her and Lao Liu.
After the divorce, Fu Seoul can finally spread his wings and chase his life dreams. She no longer has to be dragged down by Lao Liu, she can stride forward and move forward bravely. The path of life seems to be full of light for Fu Seoul.
However, the light of love that chased her at the beginning has disappeared. What she is about to face is an emotional winter. At this moment, she suddenly realized how painful the misfortune of her original family was - not only did she fail to get her mother's love, but now even Lao Liu, the only warmth, has left her.
Once upon a time, Fu Seoul was still that fragile little girl, and she could still seek Lao Liu's support. And now, Fu Seoul is destined to face the cold wind of life alone at the top of success.
We cheer for Fu Seoul's renewed freedom, but we are also saddened by her impending emptiness. When she looks back at the pinnacle of her career, only to find that she has nothing, what an ironic and sad ending it will be.
