Must Go Home for Chinese New Year

share time: 2026-02-25 00:35:50

Su Xiao is an "overtime diehard" at a Beijing internet company who uses "project deadlines" to avoid going home every Spring Festival. Until her mother sends a message saying "Grandma wants to see you one last time," she hurries back—only to find a table full of New Year's Eve dinner and Lin Chuan, her high school crush, sitting on the sofa. The once poor top student who couldn't afford workbooks is now a local tech tycoon; and the so-called "dying grandma" is actually a "scheme" Lin Chuan planned with her family—ten years ago, her casual remark "I'll come back to you when I make something of myself" stuck with Lin Chuan for a decade. He even moved his company back to his hometown just to wait for her "return". When Lin Chuan takes out the engagement ring he's hidden for three years, Su Xiao finally understands: "must go home" is never about the Spring Festival—it's about someone who made "waiting for her" a "required course" every year.
