Lin Chuan wakes up reborn in the stairwell on New Year's Eve 2019, with the wall paint from his past life's door-slamming still on his fingertips. Three years ago that night, he took his business failure out on the hot dumplings his father-in-law handed him, yelling that the old man "had been poor all his life and only knew how to meddle." It wasn't until the early morning hospital call that he learned: his father-in-law had slipped down the stairs chasing after him and never woke up. But when he pushes the door open with a heavy heart, he sees the old man in a worn sweater clutching his scarf, his hands shaking violently, eyes red like soaked cotton: "Xiao Chuan, the dumplings are still hot... If you don't like them, I'll make you noodles?" Lin Chuan suddenly realizes what he missed in his past life wasn't just a plate of dumplings—it was the old man's lifelong fear of loss. This time, he's determined to give back all the care hidden behind "annoyance" before the snow falls, to the man who used to wipe his tears secretly on the balcony.
