For five years after marriage, she gave up her career and lived as a full‑time housewife, caring for her husband, their son Suisui, and her ill mother. Yet she could never get past Su Anran, the so‑called “savior” always by Huo Zhizhou’s side. When Jiang Ruan realizes Huo Zhizhou’s indulgence toward Su Anran has crossed every line, her heart turns cold. She serves divorce papers, determined to leave this toxic marriage with her son. Haunted by childhood trauma, Huo Zhizhou holds a morbid obsession with keeping promises. Convinced Su Anran saved his life, he believes he must keep his word to take care of her forever.
