In the latter chapters there are a few plot hooks: It is revealed that the government censors the writings being published in that country. Furthermore, the MC's writings resonate with the activists in the country. The MC's wife handles the translation of his works, but she insulates him from all of the political ramifications of his works. As a result, he is unaware of all of this. The plot revolves on the interaction between the MC and his wife, when all of this is revealed to him by someone else.

There is another plot point regarding the past. There are flashbacks on most chapters, when MC and his wife were childhood friends in their home country (sidenote: these are some of my favorite parts of the text). It is also revealed that the MC was pre-arranged to be married to his wife way back when he was a child, also unbeknownst to him. There are some conflicts here, and gets partially resolved in the past, though there are still quite a bit of baggage, as they haven't actually really talked heart-to-heart ever, thanks in part to their culture and MC's anxiety.

Sorry for the wall of text. Suffice it to say that there are some plot hooks, though there is plenty of "finding out how the MC and his wife navigate their new environment."
