Jiahao, a drag queen estranged from his conservative family, returns home after his father’s passing to help his brother, Jia Qiang, to care for their mother, Ju Hua, who has been diagnosed with dementia.
As Ju Hua’s condition worsens, she becomes increasingly reliant on Jiahao — reigniting past wounds and emotional strains. One night, a tired Jiahao returns home still in drag, met with panic and confusion from his mother who threatens to call the police. In a moment of quick thinking, he calms her by pretending to be her daughter instead.
To his surprise, Ju Hua believes him. Seizing the opportunity, Jiahao playfully steps into this new role, determined to mend their fractured relationship by creating new memories and healing old regrets. With the unwavering support of his boyfriend, David, Jiahao begins a heartfelt journey of reconnection, acceptance, and self-discovery — until an unexpected revelation from his past changes everything.
