Joseph Kasman won the Nobel Prize in Literature and went to Stockholm to receive the prize with his wife Jon and son David. His daughter Susanna was about to give birth. In Sri Lanka, Joan took care of Joe meticulously. Joan recalled the past. Joan was a writer when he was young. He fell in love with the editor Kasman at first sight and began an extramarital affair. Kasman eventually divorced his wife Caroli. Kasman quickly got together with his young photographer Linney in Sri Lanka. The biographer Nathaniel has been collecting gossip about Kasman’s private life, and suspects that his work is ghostwriting for his wife, because after the two were together, Joe’s writing level has continued to rise, and he also tried to dig out evidence from Jon’s mouth. Also contacted David trying to dig material from his mouth. Jon began to recall the birth process of Joe's first novel "The Walnut". Joe was full of doubts and perplexity about himself. Joan put forward a lot of opinions and revised the manuscript for him, and finally the book was published. Joan writes every piece of Qiao carefully, as long as she is in the study, the door is closed. At the award ceremony, Joan sat down listening to the award speech, recalling the writing years of the past. It is my job to support my husband on the throne, Joan said in the audience. My wife is my inspiration and my beloved, Joe said on stage. In the car, the two quarreled. You never said the truth. I want to leave you and threw the medal. It turns out that all speculations are true. In the end, Joan rejected Nathaniel and told his two children together.

In the patriarchal society, it is difficult for women to get ahead, so the wife's works are published in the name of the husband. There are considerations of career and love, as well as career and gender considerations.

We are writing partners, you can only typesetting, who is pouring tea, who is coaxing children. You cheated, I'm so good, I put pressure on you. I wrote all your cheating in the book, and wrote the accusation against you in the book as a mirror. I've really had enough. I take care of you. You told the flattery that your wife can't write. Your wife won the Nobel Prize in Literature. Then why did you marry me? So unbearable inside the gorgeous marriage shell.

Man is such a complicated animal. You can don't need anything, and you need everything. Joe was sick, Joan immediately called the doctor, Joe, I love you, don't leave me, hold on.
