Bringing a Picked-up Girlfriend Home for the New Year

share time: 2026-02-17 06:01:26

Lin Chuan, a 30-year-old office worker, receives an ultimatum from his parents: "No girlfriend, no home for Chinese New Year." After working overtime late at night, he finds Su Xiao, a designer who just got betrayed by her five-year boyfriend, drunk in an alley. To solve the urgent problem, they agree to be a "fake couple" and return to his hometown. The paste on Su Xiao's face when pasting Spring Festival couplets, the little tacit understanding when playing mahjong with Lin Chuan's grandma, Lin Chuan's blurted "next year" when relatives ask about the wedding—their fake act grows real. But Su Xiao's ex suddenly shows up with a diamond ring. Just as Lin Chuan realizes his true feelings for Su Xiao, she leaves a note saying "thank you" and disappears on the morning of New Year's Day, leaving him holding the "fortune" character they wrote together, standing in the snow and wondering: Is this "picked-up love" just an emergency, or destiny?
