Zhang Jiani and Mai Chao's love originated from a chance encounter many years ago, and the two fell in love at first sight and developed from ordinary friends to lovers. Zhang Jiani likes Maichao's romantic and gentle personality, and Maichao also appreciates Zhang Jiani's intelligence and ability.
The days between the two are very sweet, and Mai Chao will draw some small paintings from time to time to give them to Zhang Jiani. After marriage, their care for each other warmed up the relationship, Zhang Jiani would carefully prepare meals for Maichao, and Maichao would also care about Zhang Jiani's work in time.
After marriage, life is devoid of the passion of first love, and is replaced by deeper understanding and care between husband and wife. The two go on a trip together, counting the bits and pieces of the past; Mai Chao occasionally suddenly gave Zhang Jiani a large bouquet of roses, which surprised her.
They are all looking forward to the two of them growing old together and planning for the growth of their children in the future. Married life is managed by Mai Chao's heart, Zhang Jiani's heart is full of happiness and sweetness.
On this day, Zhang Jiani suddenly saw an intimate photo of Mai Chao and a young girl on social software, and it was like five thunderbolts. She asked Maichao about it, only to find out that the girl was a young female Xi student of Maichao.
The two drank too much at a business entertainment and had a relationship. Zhang Jiani was heartbroken and asked why Mai Chao derailed.
Mai Chao cried and assured that it was just a mistake, and he also loved Zhang Jiani deeply, hoping that she would forgive him for this mistake. Zhang Jiani ran away from home angrily for a few days, figuring out whether there was any room for recovery in this marriage.
The shadow of cheating has been planted in Zhang Jiani's heart, and she feels that it is difficult for the marriage between the two to continue.
After careful consideration, Zhang Jiani filed for divorce. Mai Chao kept begging to stay, but Zhang Jiani had made up his mind. On the day the divorce agreement was signed, the two wept bitterly at the law firm.
The 10-year marriage came to an end, and they had to face this cruel reality.
After the divorce, Mai Chao gave the house to Zhang Jiani, and also agreed that the custody of the child belonged to Zhang Jiani. It's all over, and the sadness of the breakup fills Zhang Jiani's entire heart.
She didn't know where to go from here.
In order to get out of the shadow of emotional wounds, Zhang Jiani chose to participate in a reality show on a sisters' trip. In the show, she reacquainted herself with several friends in the circle, such as Cai Shaofen, Chen Jiahua and others.
The lives of these girls seem to be glamorous, but in fact, they have all experienced ups and downs in life, but in the end they have found their own happiness.
When they talked about their marriage and family, Zhang Jiani's heart was a little uncalm. She often thinks of the bits and pieces with Maichao, and how much they once loved each other.
And a cheating mistake ruined their ten years of married life in this way.
"We communicate through letters, and words are a great way to express our hearts. Hearing Cai Shaofen say this, there were tears faintly in the corners of Zhang Jiani's eyes. She remembered that Mai Chao would also send herself a small painting to apologize before, it was not that they didn't have a knack for getting along, but the mistake in the end made it too late.
"My husband is really good, and I feel that marrying him is the luckiest thing in my life. Chen Jiahua's face was full of happiness. Zhang Jiani barely squeezed out a smile, but there was a dull pain in his heart.
She also fantasized about growing old together, but she didn't expect that marriage would come and go quickly.
Faced with the sisters talking about their husband's thoughtfulness and care, Zhang Jiani's heart couldn't calm down for a long time. She hid her truest thoughts in her heart, and just listened quietly, savoring the sweetness and pain of marriage.
Although the failure of her marriage brought great pain to Zhang Jiani, she was still very good in her career. During the recording of the program, Zhang Jiani was very dedicated to every work and never shirked.
This allowed her friends to see her perseverance and strength.
"Zhang Jiani is one of the most dedicated actors we have ever met, no matter how heavy the task, she can take it all and do everything well. Julie is the director of the show, and she is full of praise for Zhang Jiani's professionalism.
In fact, putting in the work has always been Zhang Jiani's way of healing her wounds. She will put all her mind on the task at hand, so as to forget the sadness of marriage for a while.
After work, Zhang Jiani will also take the initiative to ask colleagues and friends out for dinner to relax. She gradually stepped out of the shadow of emotional trauma and successfully established herself in the entertainment industry.
At the awards ceremony a year later, Zhang Jiani won the Supporting Actress Award for her outstanding performance in "Riding the Wind 2023". This represents the industry's high recognition of her acting skills.
Standing on the podium, Zhang Jiani's heart rose with long-lost joy and satisfaction. She officially stepped out of the past and became her true self again.
After the divorce, Zhang Jiani moved back to his hometown alone and started a new life with his two sons. The eldest son is about to go to middle school, and the younger son is about to go to the third grade of primary school.
She has to work to support her family during the day, and take care of her children's homework, interest classes, and meals at night. At first, Zhang Jiani was always exhausted, but the innocent smiling faces of her two sons cheered her up again.
The children didn't understand why their mother and father suddenly divorced, but Zhang Jiani tried to let the children ask less about it. She would take them back to Beijing to meet Mai Chao once on their birthdays.
Mai Chao hugged the child and cried bitterly, but Zhang Jiani no longer had any emotions.
Day after day, Zhang Jiani found a balance between work and raising children, and her life gradually got on track. But the child is still missing a father in his heart, especially the monthly father-son gathering cannot make up for it.
Zhang Jiani reluctantly found that he was still a little powerless by himself.
Fortunately, Zhang Jiani's family will often help take care of the children and share some of her pressure. And as time goes by, the children are growing up and can take care of themselves.
Zhang Jiani can finally work a little easier and learn how to raise children by herself and live independently.
After experiencing the sudden breakdown of her marriage and raising two children alone, Zhang Jiani's life was not satisfactory. However, instead of choosing to destroy herself in pain, she decided to face it with optimism and start anew.
Zhang Jiani chose to participate in a number of charity performances and donated all the income to a foundation that helps single mothers. She hopes to help more women who have similar experiences to her rekindle hope in life.
Getting together with like-minded friends, Zhang Jiani felt that she was not alone.
She also takes her two children on trips to try to let them see the good side of life. The children's cheerful and optimistic personality is inherited from Zhang Jiani.
Under their infection, Zhang Jiani also learned to let go and actively live in the present.
"There will always be many obstacles on the road of life, and we must face them strongly. Zhang Jiani said in an interview. A young and healthy woman, there is really no reason to be broken by life.
She has to work harder than anyone else to survive in order to live up to the world.
So, Zhang Jiani set off again with a new attitude towards life. She has dreams, ambitions, and the strength to achieve them. No matter how difficult the road is, she will move forward bravely, because this is the meaning of life.
