share time: 2026-05-07 15:37:17

During the May Day holiday, Chen Mo, a "phoenix male" who wants to maintain his elite facade in front of his girlfriend, prepares his persona half a month in advance. Unexpectedly, his mother-in-law travels back home with them and exposes his lies toughly throughout the journey—his claim of being an Internet executive is poked through by casual questions, the gift he prepared is disliked for being not high-end enough, and the bride price requirement is decided publicly, every step makes Chen Mo embarrassed. The highway traffic jam and episodes at the service area intensify the contradiction between "wanting to be decent" and "wanting to be real". Until Lin Xiao reveals that his mother-in-law had inspected his rental records and salary slips half a year ago, this "tough test" finally unfolds the mystery, hiding deep love for her daughter.
