When Shi Lu (played by Shang Yuxian) returns to China after studying in the United States, she discovers a significant emotional gap between her and her father (played by Wang Yanhui) due to his remarriage and the shift of his attention to his new family. This emotional estrangement leaves a deep scar in Shi Lu's heart. She attempts to find her self-worth and sense of belonging through hard work in her career, but encounters a visa crisis that puts her at risk of losing the opportunity to live and work in the U.S. At this dead end, she unexpectedly receives a call from her father, who she hasn’t actively contacted in years. He asks Shi Lu to help his half-brother Cody (played by Lin Jingzhe) come to the U.S. for treatment of hepatitis C. Out of concern for her brother's future, and also to use her American brother's identity to obtain a short-term work visa, Shi Lu reluctantly agrees. During Cody's visit to the U.S., Shi Lu not only becomes his sister but also his caregiver. Cody’s dependence and needs gradually awaken Shi Lu’s feelings for her family, allowing her to experience the warmth of long-lost familial love. This experience slowly transforms Shi Lu's values, prompting her to reevaluate her life and career choices, and she must choose between pursuing her personal dreams and taking on family responsibilities. This decision not only affects her future trajectory but also redefines her relationships with family members.
