COVID-19 pandemic struck
Wuhan, a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law—Shen Yue and Li Ju—both contract the virus and are forced to live under the same roof with only each other for company. As they navigate their illness, they must also confront the age-old tensions between mother- and daughter-in-law. At the onset of the pandemic, a young couple in love finds themselves separated. Li Zhaohua is in Wuhan and, unfortunately, becomes infected, while his girlfriend, Zhou Xiaolu, is in
Beijing. Due to the lockdown and strict pandemic measures, she is unable to return to care for him. The two can only maintain their relationship through frequent video calls each day. Meanwhile, Leung Ching-si and her husband, Ho Tat-yan, juggle their marriage, careers, and two children. When the crisis suddenly strikes, the underlying tensions in their marriage resurface. Leung, overwhelmed by disappointment in her husband, reaches a breaking point, while Ho, despite his many sacrifices for the family, feels misunderstood and unappreciated. Their conflicts escalate as they struggle to find balance amidst the chaos of the pandemic. ==Cast==
