The storytelling clips are great.
The heroine is really kind and capable. At the age of 16, her parents died, and she went to London alone. After marrying her husband, she settled in her husband's hometown, working hard and raising children in a completely unfamiliar environment.
Before she gave up on her husband, she was very affectionate and kept giving him opportunities to apologize and correct her, but her husband refused to admit the fact of cheating, betrayed and hurt her again and again. She couldn't bear to collapse and nearly drowned herself. But she did not allow herself to bow her head in the blow of reality, and the "revenge" after that was cruel and neat.
She kept asking other couples' attitudes toward cheating, and she was constantly hypnotized by the people around her. "There are only two kinds of men in the world, one is found cheating, and the other is well concealed." "I turn a blind eye to my husband's cheating attitude. Close your eyes, after all, people have physical needs." But he is still unwilling to join forces with those who have bowed to the wrong facts, and would rather smash everything and live according to his own right and wrong.
Maybe turning a blind eye to cheating and things like that would make it more comfortable and effortless to live, but her life of insisting on inner justice is so clear-cut.
PS: From the son's point of view, the heroine may indeed be an "irresponsible" mother before the heroine tells her what her father has done for the past two years - not at all compared to other "housewife" heroines Don't love family work most of the time. The complete truth for the child may only be obtained through the most direct confession.
