Useless Her (2020)

下午一点的她

Xiao Wen and Su Xi took an instant dislike to each other, but soon discovered they’re actually similar people in their bones, with similar fears. Xiao Wen's company hasn’t paid her salary for half a year. Her father has found a new partner, Zhu Yun, just six months after her mother’s fatal car accident. Her mother had called her, which she ignored, causing her mother to go directly to her grandmother's house where she got into the accident. Su Xi is a highly- strung perfectionist. Her parents' divorce made her feel rejected by her mother, and pity for her father who had been the one abandoned. Su Xi has always endured the scumbag and pursued a perfect life attitude. The encounters between the two girls at this life intersection, progress from loathing to understanding, to finally supporting one another.
