We investigate the long-time asymptotic behavior for the Cauchy problem of the modified Camassa-Holm (mCH) equation with nonzero boundary conditions in different regions \begin{align*} &m_{t}+\left((u^2-u_x^2)m\right)_{x}=0,~~ m=u-u_{xx}, ~~ (x,t)\in\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}^{+},\\ &u(x,0)=u_{0}(x),~~\lim_{x\to\pm\infty} u_{0}(x)=1,~~u_{0}(x)-1\in H^{4,1}(\mathbb{R}), \end{align*} where $m(x,t=0):=m_{0}(x)$ and $m_{0}(x)-1\in H^{2,1}(\mathbb{R})$. Through spectral analysis, the initial value problem of the mCH equation is transformed into a matrix RH problem on a new plane $(y,t)$, and then using the $\overline{\partial}$-nonlinear steepest descent method, we analyze the different asymptotic behaviors of the four regions divided by the interval of $\xi=y/t$ on plane $\{(y,t)|y\in(-\infty,+\infty), t>0\}$. There is no steady-state phase point corresponding to the regions $\xi\in(-\infty,-1/4)\cup(2,\infty)$. We prove that the solution of mCH equation is characterized by $N$-soliton solution and error on these two regions. In $\xi\in(-1/4,0)$ and $\xi\in(0,2)$, the phase function $\theta(z)$ has eight and four steady-state phase points, respectively. We prove that the soliton resolution conjecture holds, that is, the solution of the mCH equation can be expressed as the soliton solution on the discrete spectrum, the leading term on the continuous spectrum, and the residual error. Our results also show that soliton solutions of the mCH equation with nonzero condition boundary are asymptotically stable.
