share time: 2026-02-09 07:20:21

Lin Xiaoman, a supermarket planner, and Shen Yan, an investment bank heir, have been in love for three years. But their engagement collapses when both parents oppose it—Shen’s mother throws a million-yuan check, calling Lin a “social climber”; Lin’s father slams the table, accusing Shen of “leeching off their family.” They even fight at the civil affairs bureau and tear up their marriage papers. To make things worse, Shen is suddenly transferred overseas, with rumors he’s marrying a consortium heiress. While working overtime, Lin meets a homeless old man she once helped, who hands her a will—the old man saved Shen’s mother years ago and knows the secret of Shen’s father’s “humble origins.” When Shen returns with a breakup letter, he finds Lin holding the old man’s ashes in the Shen family living room, asking softly: “Auntie, did you also drink the sweet egg soup my mom made when you were starving years ago?”
