Best performance: about the ending.

What an exquisite life: beautiful home, charming countryside, and an elegant heroine, but. . . . The heroine who thought she was loved found out that she was just a substitute for 45 years. The sadness and great helplessness could not find an outlet. . . . .

Ending: Husband expresses his compliments to his wife in front of the crowd at the 45th wedding anniversary dinner, after which he begins to cry (as predicted by the female protagonist's best friend), and then the couple dances together, at which point the wife has been avoiding her husband's gaze (The kind of look that seeks intimacy), dodging left and right, barely maintaining the dance steps, until... Finally, the hand in her husband's arm was pulled out, and tears fell.

Pay attention to the eyes of the heroine. At first, she laughed for the sake of face, and then she dodged and cried. . . . ,

guess the heroine's inner monologue:
"For 45 years, you (husband) did not love me, I was just the "shell" of that ex-girlfriend, so what is my love?!
45 years, every time you say love When I said that you shed tears yourself, that's actually the tears left by that "her", so it

turns out that my touching (your tears, your sweet words) were not for me!!!"

thought These, the heroine originally wanted to let go of the past, and her desire to start over was shattered.

All that remains is: anger!

The male protagonist is really "scumbag"! Because while he remembered his ex-girlfriend without any scruples, he didn't feel any guilt towards his wife!

The hostess is so elegant, and the dress at the dinner party is so beautiful.
