Worthless Husband, Unfaithful Wife

Zhang Ping, a delivery man, and his wife Li Yue have long drifted apart. Li Yue despises her husband's passivity and secretly seeks excitement with an old acquaintance, Wang Ge. Zhang Ping senses something amiss but swallows his doubts for the sake of their daughter Zhang Ting's school fees and the family's stability. Their household runs on unspoken tension and quiet resentment.

Li Yue asks her boss, Director Jiang, for help with their daughter's school transfer. He agrees readily but uses the favor to pressure her into an affair. Their office encounters grow increasingly intimate, interrupted only by phone calls from Zhang Ping, which Li Yue answers with lies while her world tilts further. Meanwhile, Zhang Ting is lured by neighbor Wang Peng, who hints at secrets about her mother and uses them to manipulate the young girl into compromising situations.

This drama explores the fragility of trust in marriage and the blurred lines between generations. It follows how secrets fester and how one family's hidden flaws surface under the weight of desire and duty. With a tense, character-driven narrative, it asks how far people go to protect their own comfort—and what happens when the truth comes knocking late at night.
