In The First Half Of My Life Book, nothing prepared Zi Jun for what she was faced with all of a sudden in her life. Zi Jun was a regular housewife, who was married to a doctor, Juan Sheng. From the look of things at the beginning of the book, Zi Jun could describe her life as the perfect one.
She didn’t have any worries, whatsoever, that was what she believed. With two housemaids, a chauffeur, well-groomed kids-a girl, and a boy, and other features that spiced up her life, she was literally living in heaven on earth.
While Zi Jun was living in her bubble, the reality was taking place outside of her awareness. Zi Jun’s husband, Juan Sheng had been cheating on her for up to six months, if not for more than that, and guess what? Zi Jun was not aware of it. Juan Sheng’s new love interest was a young movie star.

Part 1: Storyline of The First Half Of My Life
In The First Half Of My Life, everyone around Zi Jun knew what was going on between her husband and a popular female movie star, but Zi Jun had not the slightest idea that her marriage was on the verge of collapsing. She held her head high anywhere she went and maintained the aura of a woman in a happy marriage and relationship with her husband, but that was not the case.
Zi Jun’s husband, Juan Sheng had been unfaithful to her, and to think that Zi Jun was not in the know of this made it even more hurtful. Maybe that was why he was unfaithful to her in the first place, she was unavailable no matter how available she felt that she was to her husband.

According to The First Half Of My Life, being available and otherwise, did not mean the regular physical availability of a person, no.
What it means is that Zi Jun was unemotionally available because how would everyone in the world know that someone’s husband was being unfaithful, but the wife in question would not know? Zi Jun’s teenage daughter was even aware of this, so how come Zi Jun didn’t know about something that was that rampant?
Besides, at various times, on several occasions, everyone around Zi Jun had tried to talk about the obvious with her, but her countenance confused them. Zi Jun’s friend especially was in a position to tell Zi Jun about what was happening, but she was being careful, considering that Zi Jun didn’t seem bothered about it. Even until the very day that Zi Jun received the final straw of Juan Sheng’s infidelity, everyone tried to convey the message to Zi Jun that her husband was cheating, but Zi Jun didn’t just get it.
On that fateful day in The First Half Of My Life Book, her husband, Juan Sheng had asked her to be available for lunch that he was going to come home to have lunch with her, and as much as Zi Jun had agreed with him, she thought that it was business as usual.
She ignored her husband’s request and went out to meet her best friend even after her mother had advised her to listen to her husband and stay at home.
While Zi Jun was out with her friend, her friend also tried to relay the message of Zi Jun’s husband’s infidelity, but as usual, Zi Jun was not poised to listen. Eventually, Zi Jun returned home during lunch and saw that her husband was already at home, and he was upset.
After ranting and expressing his anger towards Zi Jun for not being at home when he asked her to be, he abruptly delivered a heart-wrenching message to her. He wanted a divorce. Juan Sheng told his long-time wife that his lawyers would contact her concerning the divorce and that he was moving out of the house to live with his new love interest.

The first chapter of The First Half Of My Life is a long one, and it talks about everything. All the vital information of the book is buttressed in the first chapter of the book.

The last straw was when her husband whom she had supposedly devoted herself to, and practically depended on for life itself, called a divorce on her.

Part 3: Evaluate The First Half Of My Life
A book of premium standard, the title of the book at first, deserves an award. The author of The First Half Of My Life is deep, and at the same time deliberately shallow. The author’s ability to let readers feel these extreme feelings at the same time is what makes the book stand out. I guarantee a hundred percent that this book is worth your time.
