The Su family, seemingly prosperous on the surface, falls apart overnight after Mrs. Su's sudden death. Unexpected problems emerge one after another. The arrangements for Mr. Su, who is spineless yet selfish and petty, and the question of how to manage his life going forward disrupt the peaceful lives of his eldest son abroad, his second son in the city, and his youngest daughter. Su Daqiang finally breaks free from his wife's iron-fisted rule and becomes more and more demanding toward his children, making one unreasonable request after another. The eldest son, Su Mingzhe, who works in the United States, returns to China determined to shoulder the family's burdens, but he is unable to cope and buckles under the pressure, causing his wife and child to grow increasingly distant from him.
