share time: 2026-03-07 00:39:08

For three years, Lin Xiaotang has spent every New Year's Eve at her in-laws' house, complying with their 'rule' that daughters-in-law must stay with the husband's family. This year, she finally decides to return to her parents' home to accompany her sick mother—only to have her mother-in-law secretly cancel her train ticket, and her husband accuse her of being 'unreasonable' for siding with his family. When she hides on the balcony, crying and calling her family, her brother suddenly arrives with her parents—her mother had long known her grievances and asked her brother to pick her up. Staring at the hot dumplings in her parents' hands, Lin Xiaotang wakes up: three years of compromise only led to her in-laws' ever-increasing demands. This time, she says to everyone: 'On New Year's Eve, I must go back to my parents' home—and I must get a divorce!'
