After seven years of marriage, Zhou Yuan has always yielded to his wife He Jing and her parents, and in doing so has repeatedly let down the father who raised him alone. On New Year's Eve, He Jing refuses to let his father come to the city for the holiday, citing a busy household and no room to stay, while she has already brought her own parents over. Zhou Yuan rushes back to his hometown and finds his father alone on New Year's Eve, keeping company with a bowl of leftover cold noodles. On the first day of the new year, for the first time, he refuses to compromise and insists on bringing his father into his own home.
