Nineteen-year-old Lin Xiao was supposed to pursue his dream on a university campus in the provincial capital, but in order to take care of his rebellious younger brother Lin Zhi, he chose to stay in the county to repeat his senior year of high school. He lived his life as the father-in-law of the family - calm, responsible, meticulous and thoughtful, but he also used over-protective methods to push his younger brother step by step into the abyss of suffocation.
Seventeen-year-old Lin Zhi lives in the shadow of her brother's halo. Skipping classes, becoming addicted to the Internet, and staying out at night, he used the most extreme method to try to break free from his brother's control and prove that he did not need to be saved.
Until a real estate crisis pushed this shaky family to the brink of collapse.
Facing the impending loss of their home, the two brothers, who were forced to face the disaster together, finally understood——
Love is not about controlling, it is about letting go.
Responsibility is not about sacrifice, it is about believing.
Growth is not about becoming what the other person wants you to be, it is about becoming your true self.
