Lin Xiaoman, a white-collar worker, brings her three-year boyfriend back to her small hometown for New Year's Eve dinner, planning to announce their engagement. However, relatives bombard her with harsh questions: "Is 200,000 yuan in betrothal gifts selling your daughter?" "A master's degree for a girl is worse than marrying early." Even her gentle mother urges her: "Don't be too picky." To her shock, her boyfriend suddenly agrees: "Quit your job and prepare for pregnancy after marriage—I'll support you." Lin, pushed to the edge, overturns the table full of dishes and shouts at the room: "My life isn't your New Year's Eve menu!" She slams the door and leaves. This outburst is her rebellion against a "scripted life"—and a wake-up call that her happiness was never about others' "good enough."
