An arranged union binds a woman to a man who maintains a deliberate emotional and physical separation for seven years, denying her even a shared bedroom. She manages his household with quiet dedication until the consecutive blows of her parents' deaths and her family's bankruptcy strike, yet he provides no assistance. A subsequent terminal diagnosis shatters her remaining hope, prompting her to request a divorce and depart alone. He initially dismisses her exit, but the news of her death forces a belated realization of his love. Consumed by regret, he seeks replacements who resemble her and ultimately abandons his former life to wait in her hometown for a return that will never happen.
