Her Metamorphosis

Her Metamorphosis Plot:

Lin Xiaoman, a full-time housewife for five years, has become a "background board" for her family—her husband ignores her preferences, her mother-in-law takes her efforts for granted, and even her once-beloved fashion design dream is buried in the wardrobe. Until she finds her college design sketches, the needle marks on the paper still carry the warmth of the past, but the woman in the mirror has long lost her sparkle. She wakes up and decides to change: secretly taking design classes, revising drafts late at night, using grocery money to buy fabrics for samples, only to be scolded by her mother-in-law for "neglecting her duties" and her husband coldly saying "stop fooling around." But she doesn’t back down—her samples get orders from niche brands online, and she even breaks into the final of a design competition with her "cocoon-shaped" wedding dress. When she stands on stage to receive the trophy, her husband’s eyes are red, her mother-in-law apologizes, and she finally smiles like she did years ago: "The pain of breaking the cocoon has all turned into the wind beneath my wings."
