Summary
At thirty-four weeks pregnant, Li Suining discovers that her husband’s female childhood friend has already named her unborn daughter, declared herself the godmother, and begun arranging the baby’s celebrations. Her husband calls it kindness. Suining calls her own childhood friend, Jin Muye, and asks him to be the godfather.
What begins as an answer to a double standard becomes a fight over who gets to make decisions about her child. As gifts, keys, photographs, and hospital visits turn into one crossed boundary after another, Suining stops waiting for her husband to put her first. Her daughter’s name is He Jin’an, and this time, her mother intends to make it stick.
