share time: 2026-01-09 00:31:30

Lin Xiaoman, an office drone, is over the moon when his girlfriend Su Xiaotang finally agrees to introduce him to her family—until he meets her mother Zhou Cuifen, the notorious "Extinct Empress Dowager" who's scared off every previous suitor with brutal tests (e.g., a three-hour lecture for over-salted food, accusations of wastefulness for expensive gifts, or dismissal for cheap ones). Worse still, he's bound to the "Mother-in-Law Favor System": failing to meet the favorability target means not just a breakup, but career disasters! Thus begins Lin's hilarious counterattack: he juggles职场PUA (workplace gaslighting) by day and helps Zhou win square dance C位, hunt down drama merch, and mediate her feuds with old friends by night. Along the way, he discovers Zhou's harshness stems from her fear of her daughter repeating her divorce trauma, and Su secretly supports him. In the end, Lin not only gains Zhou's approval but also unlocks his entrepreneurial talent via the system, transforming from a corporate slave to a small business owner—scoring double happiness in love and career!
