My Landlord Always Wants to Raise My Rent

Programmer Chen Mo moves into a shabby old apartment, thinking he'll finally get some peace and quiet. Instead, a female streamer who does late-night relationship broadcasts moves in next door.

Every night at exactly 2:30, "Big brother, go easy" rings out, accompanied by donation effects, making his dark circles worse by the day.

When he goes over to complain, she hands him a box of goji berries. "Bro, you turn over so noisily. My fans say you're not in good shape."

At his wit's end, Chen Mo decides to strike back: taking out the trash shirtless, doing push-ups on the balcony, and borrowing soy sauce in a plunging neckline.

He meant to take her down a peg, but she turns the camera on him. "Guys, this is my husband. Handsome, right?"

The comments explode, the whole internet goes wild shipping them, and the two are forced to become a "cohabiting married-couple act."

Then one day, the streamer is threatened by her top donor, and Chen Mo turns the tables with a hard-hitting move.

Lin Wei looks at the flawless counterattack footage and knocks on his door late at night. "I'm not streaming tonight. How about we do something more private?"

Chen Mo tugs open his collar. "Sure. Let's livestream it and see who gives in first."
