Trial Love [90s]

Synopsis One

Colleagues hear that Tong Yufi, from a humble family background, has married a husband with an extraordinary family. Not only is he a knowledgeable PhD who returned from overseas, but he also possesses a handsome appearance that could make him the top attraction in old Shanghai's upscale entertainment scene. Amid their surprise, they can't help but feel a touch of envy.

Five years later, Tong Yufi finally awaits her husband's return to the country for a reunion. On the day they meet again, the man is dressed in a suit and leather shoes, but his eyes are as cold as an icy pool: "Let's get a divorce. You can set the terms."

Tong Yufi secretly grumbles to herself. She has endured over 1,800 lonely days and nights guarding an empty bed, and what she wants is far more than just that bit of compensation.

She wants him to repay it with interest, including that heart which was never truly given.

Synopsis Two

One day, the top ten outstanding young private entrepreneurs top the front-page headlines. Mo Daoyan's name stands out prominently in first place. In an inconspicuous corner of the same page, however, is a report of a marital change. This rising star in the business world is about to end that marriage in name only, but the wife who married up is threatening suicide and clinging relentlessly.

Late at night, Mo Daoyan grips his wife's wrist with one hand, pinning her against the door. With his other hand, he holds the wedding ring that was removed and slowly slides it back onto her ring finger: "Try loving me, okay?"
