Now the divorce rate is getting higher and higher, and middle-aged people have quietly become the main force. Keeping Marriage as Jade focuses on the emotional crisis of middle-aged marriage. "Keeping Marriage as Jade" shows the audience the concept of marriage as jade. Perfect jade is the most ideal. Marriage, a rough jade, needs not only care, but also careful carving. Knowing how to deal with the problems in marriage can lead to such a good story. The play also discusses whether the destroyed trust can be rebuilt in the face of spouse's infidelity, whether it is written off or started over. (Sohu Entertainment Review)

Compared with the previous love story, Keeping Marriage as Jade does not focus on the conflict itself, taking the war at home as a selling point, nor does it fall into the stereotype that the wife is tolerant and forbearing, and the husband is prodigal. It focuses on how men and women regard the crisis as the pain before transformation, and how to realize self-redemption and mutual redemption. The works face the sensitive issues in marriage, discuss whether to make a clean break or start all over again in the face of the betrayal of the lover, how to rebuild the destroyed trust and other topics, and guide the audience to look at the contradictions and conflicts in marriage with a more rational eye.
