Lin Xiaomeng, a beauty salesperson, hides her identity as a single mother to marry into a wealthy family, sending her 8-year-old son Xiaoyu to live with her parents in her hometown. She dresses up daily to navigate elite parties—until one day, at a "Hope for the Dragon" charity dinner for an exclusive school, she finds Xiaoyu squatting outside, clutching throat lozenges he saved a month’s pocket money to buy. "Mom, I don’t want to be a 'dragon' (a top achiever)," the boy says with red eyes. "I just want to hug you after school every day." Staring at his frostbitten hands, she remembers skipping his parent-teacher meetings for clients and missing his birthday cake. Suddenly, she realizes: the "phoenix" (high society) she’s chasing is just a bubble, but the light in her son’s eyes—waiting for her to come home—is the real "dragon" worth hoping for.
