Gu Yebai, who quit his job as an illustrator and became a full-time dad, originally thought that his life would be spent warmly with his daughter's laughter and daily necessities. Until a letter from a deceased distant relative handed an old apartment building called "Nanting Garden" into his hands.
He originally thought that this was just an ordinary inheritance that could provide a guarantee for the lives of him and his daughter Nian Nian. However, the moment he stepped into Nanting Garden, a cold and ancient voice sounded in his mind: [The "Abnormal Things Containment Protocol" has been activated, and the identity of the manager has been confirmed: Gu Yebai.
It turns out that this apartment building wasn't built for living people. In each of its rooms, there lives an "abnormal" guest - it may be the ghost in the shadow crying in the corner, it may be the musician in white who plays the non-existent piano at midnight, or it may be the mother-in-law of the Republic of China who is obsessed with looking for the lost button.
As for Gu Yebai, as the new "manager", his job is not to exorcise ghosts or subdue demons, but to manage. Provide shelter to these dangerous and pitiful "guests", maintain their stability, handle their "customer complaints", and ensure that they do not cross the line and harm the world.
In order to protect his only daughter Nian Nian, this helpless dad had to pick up the strange "Household Handbook" and deal with a group of "neighbors" that ordinary people could not imagine, starting a ridiculous and thrilling "property management" career.
