Preamble:
What is the true meaning of love?
Is it a vigorous pursuit, or a bland and happy companionship?
What is the meaning of marriage?
Is it the bondage of a contract, or is it the interweaving of each other's souls?
When the veil of love was torn apart, when the truth of marriage surfaced, it was discovered that love and marriage were never what they imagined.
Zhang Liangying's story is a cruel fable about love and marriage.
The girl who was once full of longing for love and full of expectations for marriage finally lost herself in the whirlpool of reality, and it was not until the end of her life that she finally woke up and found herself again.
Her experience reflects the struggles and confusion of countless women in love and marriage, and also gives us too much to think about life and emotions.
A Wonderful Beginning: The Hope of Love
2015 was the best year of her life for 28-year-old Zhang Liangying.
This year, at a concert in Changsha, she mustered up the courage to propose to her boyfriend Feng Ke.
At that time, Zhang Liangying's heart was full of yearning for a good marriage.
She seemed to see the happy picture of herself wearing a white wedding dress and entering the marriage hall hand in hand with her beloved.
That kind of longing for the future life filled her heart with infinite anticipation and joy.
As a girl from a single-parent family, Zhang Liangying has lacked fatherly love since she was a child, and she has always longed for a warm and stable family.
After a colorful acting career, she met Feng Ke, a man who appreciates her talent and sincerely expresses his love.
His appearance seems to fill the long-standing emptiness in Zhang Liangying's heart, making her feel an unprecedented sense of security and belonging.
Zhang Liangying thought that she had finally found a partner who could be entrusted with her life.
She plans the wedding with joy and looks forward to a better life ahead.
In her imagination, the days after marriage must be sweet and warm, and she and Feng Ke will work together to build a loving family and spend a lifetime together.
However, she didn't expect that this seemingly perfect relationship would become the biggest turning point in her life.
The Truth About Marriage: The Beginning of Losing Self
After getting married, Zhang Liangying gradually discovered that Feng Ke was not the warm and considerate partner she imagined.
Instead, he began to exert more and more control over Zhang Liangying.
The embrace that once made her feel so safe was now a cage that imprisoned her freedom.
Zhang Liangying felt extremely confused and depressed, she didn't understand why the sweet words that were once turned into cold words now.
Feng Ke sees Zhang Liangying as a tool to make money, constantly arranging high-intensity work for her, and even allowing her to attend award ceremonies in three cities in one day.
He controls everything for Zhang Liangying, and he has never given even the most basic right to use his mobile phone.
In the face of such pressure, Zhang Liangying felt breathless.
She tried to communicate with Feng Ke, hoping that he could understand her feelings and give her more freedom, but in exchange for more strict control from the other party.
In such a high-pressure environment, Zhang Liangying gradually lost herself.
She began to suggest to herself, thinking that as long as she focused on music creation, Feng Ke would take care of everything else.
However, she didn't realize that she had become a puppet in Feng Ke's hands, completely losing the ability to think independently.
The once high-spirited and talented Zhang Liangying is now becoming more and more taciturn, living like a walking corpse.
Zhang Liangying's mother, a woman who has gone through vicissitudes, has long seen the essence of Feng Ke.
She reminded her daughter many times, but Zhang Liangying mistook it for dissatisfaction with the age difference.
As a person who has come over, her mother knows very well what kind of harm a man who is too controlling in marriage will bring to the woman, but her words cannot touch the depths of Zhang Liangying's heart.
It wasn't until many years later that Zhang Liangying understood how right her mother's worries were, but she paid a terrible price for the so-called love.
Bright Illusions: Heartbreak Proposal (2018)
In 2018, Zhang Liangying's career once again ushered in its peak.
She released her seventh album "Bloom", which was widely praised for her solid singing skills and superb stage performance.
In the same year, she also appeared on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala and became a household name national idol.
However, under the glamorous appearance, Zhang Liangying's heart is full of holes.
She knew that all these achievements were the result of Feng Ke's careful packaging, and she was nothing more than a marionette in his hands, earning him money and fame.
She wants to break free from the shackles and find herself again, but she doesn't know what to do.
At this moment, Zhang Liangying made a move that shocked everyone.
At a solo concert, she proposed to Feng Ke in public, hoping to save her already broken marriage.
When she said, "If you really love me, please come to the stage," the audience held their breath and waited for a fairytale ending.
However, reality once again dealt Zhang Liangying a heavy blow.
Feng Ke did not step forward, but said coldly: "Everyone is here to listen to music, not to see this kind of thing." "
As soon as the words fell, he left the scene without looking back, leaving the injured Zhang Liangying and the stunned audience.
At this moment, Zhang Liangying seemed to hear the sound of heartbreak.
She finally understood that she had already lost her dignity and self in this marriage, and became a plaything in Feng Ke's hands.
The man who once made her heart flutter is now only ruthless and calculating.
She doesn't understand, how did love become like this?
How did marriage become a cage?
A Marriage That Collapsed: An End of Nothing
With the rapid development of Zhang Liangying's career, Feng Ke's desire to control is getting stronger and stronger.
He quietly transferred the property and shares in his wife's name and took everything from her for himself.
This betrayal made Zhang Liangying feel extremely shocked and angry.
She didn't understand why she had given so much in exchange for her partner's deception and plunder.
The harbor that once made her feel incredibly safe is now a whirlpool that swallows her.
Finally, Zhang Liangying made up her mind and filed for divorce.
What she didn't expect was that when she divided the property, she had almost nothing.
Years of struggle in exchange for only a small property.
Faced with such a result, Zhang Liangying felt extremely cold and desperate.
She didn't understand what she had done wrong and why she had to bear such injustice.
But Zhang Liangying still resolutely signed a divorce agreement.
Perhaps, in her heart, freedom and dignity are far more precious than money and status.
She would rather start all over again than continue to endure Feng Ke's control and deception.
This kind of courage and determination cannot but be admired.
Zhang Liangying proved with her actions that even in the most difficult moments, women have the right to pursue independence and freedom, and no one can deprive them of their yearning for a better life.
Reborn: A journey to find yourself
After the divorce, Zhang Liangying is like a butterfly breaking out of a cocoon.
She finally escaped from Feng Ke's clutches and embraced sunshine and freedom again.
At first, she inevitably felt lost and frightened, but soon, she found her way forward.
Zhang Liangying began to reflect on this failed marriage and find the root cause of her self-loss.
She realizes that she is hurt in large part because of unrealistic fantasies about love and marriage.
She imagined Feng Ke too perfect and regarded marriage as too sacred, but ignored the differences and contradictions between the two people in reality.
At the same time, Zhang Liangying also began to examine her attitude in marriage.
She found that she relied too much on Feng Ke and pinned all her life on the other party.
She regarded Feng Ke as everything, but forgot that she was also an independent individual, with her own dreams and pursuits.
After realizing these problems, Zhang Liangying made up her mind to start over.
She spends more time with her family and rebuilds her relationship with her mother.
At work, she began to experiment with different musical styles and expand her singing career.
In life, she learned to enjoy solitude and slowly regained the peace she had not seen for a long time.
Gradually, Zhang Liangying rediscovered the meaning of life.
She understands that true happiness does not lie in external recognition, but in inner fulfillment.
She began to learn to listen to her own heart, follow her inner choices, and no longer be swayed by the expectations of others.
What's more, Zhang Liangying finally opened her heart and embraced love again.
From her friend and middle school principal in the circle, she met musician Chen Qiuying.
The two have similar interests and gradually fall in love.
In the process of getting along, Zhang Liangying felt unprecedented warmth and care.
Chen Qiuying proved with his actions that love should not be about taking and controlling, but about equality, respect and tolerance.
Now Zhang Liangying has relived her own appearance.
She is no longer an ignorant little girl, but a woman with a mature mind and the courage to pursue herself.
In the company of Chen Qiuying, she reaped simple and warm happiness.
This kind of heartfelt joy makes her life bloom again with brilliant colors.
Epilogue:

Let us bless Zhang Liangying and bless every soul who bravely pursues themselves.
