The Good Guy Outside, the Hands-Off Boss at Home
Lu Chengyuan devotes his entire salary to educational assistance programs, earning widespread praise and the reputation of being a 'bridge-builder for underprivileged students.' Meanwhile, his wife, Ye Qingzhi, shoulders the mortgage, living expenses, her in-laws' medical bills, and their son's tuition all by herself, struggling to keep up with both work and family responsibilities. All she asks is that her husband set aside a small portion of his income to support their household, but instead, he accuses her of being selfish and cold-hearted and of obstructing his charitable efforts. Completely disillusioned, Ye Qingzhi accepts a closed-door training program at headquarters and resolutely walks away. Without her contributions and the efforts that held everything together, their once orderly household quickly descends into chaos. Meanwhile, the widely praised Lu Chengyuan is finally forced to reconsider the true meaning of kindness, responsibility, and marriage.

Lu Chengyuan mengorbankan seluruh gajinya untuk program bantuan pendidikan, sehingga mendapat banyak pujian dan dikenal sebagai 'penyeberang bagi anak-anak dari keluarga kurang mampu'. Sementara itu, istrinya, Ye Qingzhi, harus menanggung cicilan rumah, biaya hidup, biaya pengobatan orang tua mertuanya, serta biaya sekolah putra mereka seorang diri. Ia berjuang keras menyeimbangkan pekerjaan dan tanggung jawab keluarga. Satu-satunya harapannya adalah agar sang suami menyisihkan sedikit penghasilannya untuk kebutuhan rumah tangga. Namun, ia justru dituduh egois, tidak berperasaan, dan menghalangi perbuatan baik suaminya. Setelah benar-benar kecewa, Ye Qingzhi menerima program pelatihan tertutup di kantor pusat dan memutuskan untuk pergi. Tanpa pengorbanan dan usahanya yang selama ini menjaga keluarga tetap berjalan, rumah tangga yang dahulu tertata rapi pun segera dilanda kekacauan. Sementara itu, Lu Chengyuan yang selama ini dipuji banyak orang akhirnya harus merenungkan kembali arti sebenarnya dari kebaikan, tanggung jawab, dan pernikahan.
