Against the Odds

Overbearing Mom & Mean Mother-in-law

Lin Xiaoman has been married for three years, driven to the edge by her overbearing birth mother Su Xiufen and mean mother-in-law Zhou Guilan. Her birth mother, a retired teacher, even checks "nutrition guides" for every fruit Xiaoman eats, using "I'm doing this for you" to control her life. Her mother-in-law, a market vendor, is patriarchal and insists "daughters-in-law should serve the family," leaving cold leftovers for Xiaoman when she works late. When Xiaoman finds out she's pregnant, her birth mother immediately books a 10,000-yuan month嫂, but her mother-in-law secretly cancels it to take over. They argue so fiercely in the living room that they break bowls. Holding her prenatal checkup form, Xiaoman cries out: "Do you love me, or just love beating each other?" It's not until she finds her mother-in-law's old diary—revealing she was also abused by her own mother-in-law—and old photos in her birth mother's drawer—exposing her mother's divorce due to mother-in-law interference—that she realizes: the two "once-hurt people" have become "hurters." Can Xiaoman untie the knot of two generations of mother-in-law conflicts and bring warmth back to the family?

Twenty-Three Winters of Secret Love

To her shock, Gu says through red-rimmed eyes, “I’ve waited for you for twenty-three years”: he hid his study abroad ticket, saved every one of her朋友圈 posts, and even stayed in China for her. While the betrayal still stings, her first love crashes in with love stored for twenty-three years—can this belated mutual secret love turn regret into sweetness this winter?

Midnight Pawnshop

Lin Xiaoman, an overworked office worker, stumbles into the "Midnight Pawnshop"—a store that only opens at midnight, accepting no money but "unfulfilled regrets" in exchange for superpowers. But every exchange comes with a catch: being a "free errand runner" for the sarcastic shopkeeper Gu Chuan. Exchanging her "regret of not confessing to her first love" for a workplace counterattack system means bringing Gu 10 cups of bubble tea daily; exchanging her "regret of not saving a stray cat" for cultivation skills results in her spiritual energy only being usable to water Gu’s succulents. To earn the chance to "go back in time and save her mom," Lin is forced to team up with Gu, handling absurd orders together—like a green tea colleague wanting "tears to make her ex come back," a food stall owner wanting "a stomach that never gains weight no matter how much they eat." As they go from finding each other a nuisance to secretly falling for each other, Lin uncovers a shocking truth: Gu’s identity is linked to her mom’s death?!
