At 40 years old, the housewife Shanshan Lixu was deeply shaken when her only son, Sheng Jiang, came out to her during his sophomore year. Although Lixu outwardly accepted their relationship, she struggled with how to broach the subject with her husband, Dao Nan. Lixu invited her son's boyfriend Xiong Zai, a second-year student at a prestigious university and 20 years old this year for lunch. Due to his mother’s death, Xiong Zai not only managed household chores but also took care of his disabled grandmother. Moreover, he possessed outstanding looks comparable to Sheng Jiang, making him an impeccable young man in every aspect.
