Episode 4 recap: Zhang Ze's family is violent towards Ran Shu.
Gu Yibai was very curious and asked Ran Shu what she would do if he hadn't come to her appointment today. Ran Shu was confident that Gu Yibai would come because he was still curious about her. Ran Shu checked her phone and realized that the time had come, so she said goodbye to Gu Yibai. When they shook hands, Zhang Ze arrived and saw Ran Shu shaking hands with someone else. He gently pulled Ran Shu back home.
Gu Yibai realized that Zhang Ze was actually very controlling. When Ran Shu returned home, Zhang Ze became angry and scolded her. He even took out a belt and threatened to hit Ran Shu, binding her and slapping her. Faced with Zhang Ze's paranoia, Ran Shu could only reluctantly agree. At this moment, Zhang Ze took out a photo and forced his wife to smile while he enjoyed taking pictures of Ran Shu. In an instant, he went from doting on Ran Shu to feeling sorry for her, constantly praising her as a good wife.
During an event, Zhang Ze took photos of Gu Ruyue. When he was about to leave, Gu Ruyue approached him and wanted to kiss him. Zhang Ze didn't like being threatened, but Gu Ruyue had more power, so he had to compromise. Gu Ruyue was hoping that Zhang Ze would resist a little longer so that she could have more fun.
I was initially drawn to this drama by its title, and when I clicked on the first episode, I recognized the lead actress, Lu Yanqi. After watching a few episodes, I deeply felt that Lu is well-suited for this role. She vividly portrays the image of a weak and helpless woman who suffers from domestic violence by her husband.
It's a story of a desperate housewife who fights back and seeks revenge against her abusive husband. At the same time, it also serves as a warning to us about the importance of choosing the right life partner when getting married.
May all girls find someone who genuinely loves and cares for them.
