Years of beatings and forced sex from her husband, a senior government official, have left Huiu disillusioned and unsure who she is any more, or who he is. She does not seek a divorce or leave the house. Instead she meets Giyun, a married man, in secret, and he becomes her refuge and her protection, though at home he is a husband and father much like her own, except that he has never raised a hand to his wife.
