share time: 2025-12-20 00:31:04

Lin Wan has been married to programmer Chen Mo for five years, living a frugal life. Everything changes when her brother-in-law Chen Yang returns from abroad, claiming to have helped Chen Mo land a million-yuan annual salary offer at an investment bank. But on the day Chen Mo finally steps into the CBD office in a suit, Lin Wan finds Chen Mo's gastric cancer diagnosis on Chen Yang's phone. It turns out the "million-yuan salary" is fake—Chen Yang used his non-compete agreement compensation to fabricate the "salary deposits," just to let his dying brother fulfill his wish of "giving his wife and child a good life." And in Chen Yang's wallet, there's an organ donation consent form with the recipient listed as Chen Mo. When the truth comes out, the two brothers cry in each other's arms in the hospital. Lin Wan finally understands: her brother-in-law's "merit" is trading his own future for his brother's last moments of dignity.
