Lin Xiaoman, a low-key entrepreneur in Beijing's internet industry, returns to her hometown during the Year of the Horse Spring Festival to care for her seriously ill mother. Hoping for a quiet New Year, she’s instead taunted by her snobbish aunt: “Still a burden after ten years of struggling!” Her ex-boyfriend even shows up with his wealthy new girlfriend to mock her: “Dumping you was the smartest choice.” But they don’t know—Xiaoman just secured ten million in funding, is the elusive partner her cousin begs for, and saved the new girlfriend’s father’s life. When the truth comes out, the aunt’s flattery turns awkward, the ex’s pride crumbles. Meanwhile, Chen Mo, the community grid worker, has been saving handmade lanterns for half a year, ready to give her a “quiet but warm” New Year surprise. Over her mother’s steaming porridge, Xiaoman realizes—homebound isn’t about proving anyone wrong, but reclaiming the family love and heartbeat lost in the city’s chaos.
