2026-01-19 Category: Short Drama

Distant Marriage Is a Cage: Dad's Breakout Plot:

Lin Xiaoman married far away for love, only to fall into a "marriage cage"—dominated by an overbearing mother-in-law and trapped in her husband's cold violence. Once lively, she now dare not even mention her illness, only sending "I want to go home" to her dad late at night. Lin Jianguo, a father who'd never left his small county, took his 20-year savings and his wife's cured meat, and endured an 18-hour hard-seat train ride to his daughter's city. But breaking free wasn't easy: the mother-in-law called him a "meddling hick," the husband said he "didn't get city rules," and even Xiaoman cried, "Dad, I'm used to it." Instead of giving up, Lin became a "hidden guardian": secretly picking up her child, leaving hot meals at the door, and learning to make short videos about her daily life. When the mother-in-law showed up to insult him for "shaming the family," Lin pulled out Xiaoman's wedding photos: "This is my treasure, not your family's maid!" In the end, Xiaoman found the courage to divorce and returned home with her dad—that 18-hour train ride became the warmest "prison break" of her life.
