Former multinational-company manager until age forty-four, now a live-in male nanny: this is the career change Cheng Zhiyuan least wants on his résumé.
When unemployed Cheng Zhiyuan helps a disheveled young father calm his crying child in a park, he has no idea this small act of kindness will turn his life upside down.
Shen Xu, a thirty-one-year-old tech tycoon, makes him an offer too good to refuse:
✔ Three times his previous salary
✔ A nanny’s room with a private bathroom
✔ The only job requirement: make his son Xiaoyang, born through surrogacy, feel genuine fatherly love.
“You’ve managed a team of twenty? Perfect. My son is the most difficult ‘subordinate’ I’ve ever had.”
Bearing his ex-wife’s mockery and the industry’s disapproving stares, Cheng Zhiyuan steps into this unconventional family of two and a half men. From drawing up a child’s daily schedule to secretly adjusting the CEO’s business decisions, from being shunned by the neighborhood nanny group to becoming a parenting consultant, when a corporate crisis and family conflicts erupt at the same time
this middle-aged man cast aside by society somehow becomes everyone’s last lifeline.
Key Highlights:
A family of two unrelated male leads: breaking away from traditional family models to portray the diversity of modern human relationships.
The absurd collision of work and parenting: the surprising chemistry of applying corporate management skills to raising a child.
The identity crisis of middle-aged men: a sharp look at the social discrimination that makes “unemployed middle-aged men” invisible.
The heart of mutual healing: the CEO provides material security, while the nanny rebuilds a spiritual home.
