Zhang Youyi was born in a rich family, went to a new school, was dignified and beautiful, gentle and virtuous, and gave birth to two sons for Xu Zhimo. However, Zhang Youyi and Xu Zhimo are arranged marriages. Xu Zhimo thinks Zhang Youyi is a local (steamed stuffed bun), but he just despises Zhang Youyi.
Xu Zhimo fell in love with Lin, a beautiful and intelligent talented woman of the Republic of China, but Lin could not marry Xu Zhimo, a married man. Xu Zhimo insisted on divorcing Zhang Youyi and pursuing her dream lover Lin.
However, even if Xu Zhimo divorced and returned to single, Lin did not fall in love with Xu Zhimo, but married Liang Sicheng, who was a suitable family.
Xu Zhimo drew water with a sieve, and later he fell in love with another talented woman, Lu Xiaoman. However, Lu Xiaoman is married, and Lu Xiaoman's husband Wang Geng is Xu Zhimo's friend.
However, Lu Xiaoman was romantic by nature and was not bound by marriage. She accepted Xu Zhimo's proposal, divorced her husband Wang Geng and married Xu Zhimo for the second time.
Xu Zhimo finally married his favorite beauty, Lu Xiaoman. In his eyes, Lu Xiaoman is so beautiful and lovely, unlike Zhang Youyi, a local (steamed stuffed bun).
But Xu Zhimo's parents only like his first daughter-in-law, Zhang Youyi, and Zhang Youyi as their adopted daughter, but they don't like his new daughter-in-law, Lu Xiaoman. Why?
First of all, this is because Xu Zhimo's parents are conservative and don't like Lu Xiaoman's marriage history, and Lu Xiaoman is not a widow, but a divorced woman. Before the divorce, Lu Xiaoman fell in love with Xu Zhimo. In the eyes of Xu Zhimo's parents, Lu Xiaoman is a woman who doesn't look like a woman.
Second, Lu Xiaoman is not virtuous. She lives in luxury, has a wide range of contacts, and smokes a lot of cigarettes with actors. In order to provide a luxurious life in Lu Xiaoman, Xu Zhimo worked part-time in several universities and traveled between Beijing and Shanghai.
Third, Lu Xiaoman doesn't want to have children. Lu Xiaoman and Xu Zhimo have no children after marriage. I don't know whether Lu Xiaoman is infertile or Lu Xiaoman doesn't like having children.
Old people like grandchildren. If Lu Xiaoman can give Xu a grandson, it may ease the relationship between her and Xu Zhimo's parents, but Lu Xiaoman has no children.
Xu Zhimo's parents don't like Lu Xiaoman at all, and they don't recognize Lu Xiaoman as the daughter-in-law of the Xu family. If Lu Xiaoman can earn her own living, it doesn't matter what her in-laws think, but Lu Xiaoman doesn't work and depends on her husband to support her. Xu Zhimo's income can't provide for Lu Xiaoman's life at all, while Xu Zhimo's parents are rich, but they are unwilling to support their children.
In the end, Xu Zhimo died in a plane crash, and Xu Jiagen didn't support the life after Lu Xiaoman. Lu Xiaoman, who is widowed and unwilling to remarry, can only live alone with her lover Weng after her husband's death.
There is no perfection in the world. Lu Xiaoman was loved by her husband and Xu Zhimo, but not recognized by her in-laws and hated by them.
