Summary

Marriage lasts a lifetime, and the road is full of uncertainties. Who can guarantee not to make the slightest mistake? Who can guarantee to resist temptation? He is young and outstanding, seemingly perfect in every way, and loves only Shen Chuqing. She thought they could be happy for a lifetime—until one day she accidentally saw a woman sitting in his car. He had lied to her. One lie always needs another to cover it...

She thought she had handled everything perfectly, not knowing that he saw it all. The love she wanted was wholehearted, so she chose to let go. And he bore everything for the sake of a secret, simply because of love.

Editor's review

This is an emotional novel centered on trust and lies in marriage. The story revolves around the marriage of Shen Chuqing and her husband: she thought they could be happy for a lifetime, but seeing a woman in his car made her realize he had lied. One lie needs another to cover it, and her supposedly perfect response was in fact seen all along. She wanted wholehearted love, so she chose to let go; he bore everything to keep a secret, simply because of love. Its readability lies in portraying suspicion, concealment, and choices in marriage in a way that stays close to everyday emotions; it suits segmented reading on the commute or before bed, following the characters' psychological shifts to grasp the meaning of "marital itch." As you read, note how lies accumulate layer by layer between the characters and how their motives differ from each perspective—there is no need to rush to take sides.

Who it's for

A good fit for

Readers who enjoy novels about marriage and relationships and are interested in themes of trust and lies
Office workers who want to read emotional stories in fragmented time; the chapter progression suits segmented reading
Readers interested in psychological portrayal of characters, who can appreciate the differing motives from both perspectives
Book club members who enjoy discussing relationship topics, as the plot lends itself to exchange of views

Not a good fit for

Readers who prefer suspense, mystery, or strong plot twists, as the book focuses on marital emotions and psychology
Readers seeking practical guidance on maintaining a marriage, as this is a novel rather than a practical guide
Readers uninterested in emotional entanglement and seeking light, pleasant reading

Reading tips

Read in chapter order and note subtle changes in relationships and psychology each time a lie appears
Pause at key choices and imagine the motives from the male and female protagonists' perspectives before continuing
After finishing, revisit the marriage setup at the opening and compare it with the ending to grasp the meaning of "marital itch" in the story
If reading with friends, organize a small discussion on "whether to let go" and exchange different views

About the author

娜些年 Author · Chinese

Na Xienian is a Chinese author of online fiction. Public information about her is limited: her real name, year of birth, place of origin, and educational background are not reliably documented, and her specific identity and body of work remain to be further verified. The library currently holds one work by her, the modern romance novel Marriage Itch. Judging from the title and its usual classification, the book explores fatigue, friction, and emotional cracks in marital relationships, placing it within romance writing that stays close to the realities of urban men and women. Na Xienian uses this as her entry point, focusing on crises of trust and psychological shifts in intimate relationships, with a style inclined toward everyday narrative. Because she has published few works and rarely appears in public, her full output and stylistic development are difficult to assess completely; readers and researchers may approach her through a close reading of Marriage Itch, and this introduction can be updated should new works or author information emerge.
