It focuses on how men and women regard the crisis as the pain before the transition, and how to realize self-redemption and mutual redemption. The play faces the sensitive issues in marriage directly, discusses whether to make a clean break or start all over again in the face of lover's betrayal, how to rebuild the destroyed trust and other topics, and guides the audience to look at the contradictions and conflicts in marriage with a more rational eye.
