Radhina, a young woman from India, married Xiao Wu from China after they fell in love through online communication. Radhina, defying her family's objections, secretly traveled to China to marry Xiao Wu. She exhibited immense courage, viewing this as an act of rebellion against her family's wishes.

Despite never meeting Xiao Wu in person before, Radhina believed in him, especially since he had supported her with supplies during the pandemic.

Her family disapproved of her decision to marry a Chinese man and relocate, but Radhina paid no heed to their concerns. She believed that Xiao Wu could provide her with happiness, and she had long harbored a fascination with China.

Having studied Chinese in university, Radhina felt compelled to visit China, a country where the language she had learned was spoken nationwide. Upon arrival, Radhina and Xiao Wu, who had known each other for quite some time through online communication, quickly tied the knot.

Although their relationship had been primarily online, upon meeting in person, they felt no barriers between them; instead, they were filled with excitement and joy.

Radhina moved into Xiao Wu's modest home, meeting his parents and becoming part of their family of four. Although their home was relatively small, it was well-equipped and cozy. However, Radhina couldn't help but feel that it was too cramped compared to her spacious accommodations back in India.

In India, Radhina had her own large room, whereas in China, she found herself in a smaller space without the room to dance or play the piano, which she enjoyed. Despite the initial discomfort, Radhina appreciated the warmth and genuine care she received from her new family.

Xiao Wu's father was gentle, though a bit strict, while his mother was affectionate and lively, showering Radhina with love. Despite the small size of their home, the absence of discord made it a comfortable environment.

Radhina also had pleasant encounters with Xiao Wu's relatives and friends, who were curious about her being from India but warmly welcomed her without any negative remarks.

Living in China brought Radhina immense happiness. She enjoyed outings with Xiao Wu's cousins, feeling safe even late at night, a stark contrast to the insecurity she would have felt in India.

Radhina indulged in Chinese cuisine, gaining weight due to the abundance of delicious food. She also embraced Chinese traditions and festivals, finding joy in celebrating them.

As time passed, Radhina's affection for China grew, and she cherished her life there. However, after a year of living in China, Radhina began to feel anxious during conversations with Xiao Wu's relatives about having children. She longed to start a family but found herself facing resistance from Xiao Wu and his family.

Despite her deep desire for children, Radhina's requests were met with unexpected reluctance from Xiao Wu. This caused Radhina to question his commitment and left her feeling betrayed and heartbroken.

After expressing her concerns to a friend, Radhina learned that Xiao Wu might be infertile, leading her to feel even more conflicted about her situation. Despite the emotional turmoil, Radhina ultimately decided to accept her circumstances and appreciate the love and support she received from her Chinese family. Though she mourned the loss of the possibility of having her own children, she found solace in her present happiness.
