Plot Synopsis:
Chen Shan is a female lawyer in the securities department of a well-known law firm. At nearly 40, she encounters a career bottleneck.
As a result, she devotes herself to work and has no time to take care of the emotional needs of her husband and daughter.
Her husband, Sun Lei, works in a state-owned enterprise. In order to support his wife’s career, he takes on the important task of caring for the family and almost gives up his career pursuits.
This marriage imbalance of a strong woman and a weak man unconsciously goes from working well to gradually losing balance over the past ten years.
At this time, investment banking elite Lin Qing Kun appears, and the big order in his hands becomes the target of Chen Shan and her competitors.
Facing the dual crisis of marriage and the workplace, Chen Shan desperately tries to deal with both at the same time, but it ends up becoming more and more counterproductive than helpful.
Sun Lei and Chen Shan go through many tests. They both have met a perfect partner that seems the most suitable for them, and in the end they find that after stumbling for so long, their original intentions for each other are still there.
They are imperfect, but as long as they cherish one another they are perfect. Supporting each other makes them the perfect partner.
