On the rainy day he was laid off, Su Ran felt the cold steel jungle of the city had cast him out for good. With his future uncertain, a job posting on the noticeboard of an old residential complex led him into a completely different world: the Qinghe Community Residents’ Committee.
There were no sharp-suited elites here, only neighbors arguing until their faces turned red over a leak. There were no multimillion-yuan projects, only lonely elderly people duped into buying useless health products. From settling petty neighborhood disputes to outsmarting a fraud ring hiding deep within the community, Su Ran stumbles into his new career as a “community worker” amid the bustle of everyday life.
Here, he meets Lin Yue, a law student with an overwhelming sense of justice. From being natural partners to falling for each other, the two work together to protect the warmth and fairness beneath this shared roof.
He once thought success meant standing above the clouds of the city. Now, amid family squabbles and the glow of countless home lights, he has found real purpose and a sense of belonging.
When a corporate white-collar professional plunges into the most down-to-earth bustle of ordinary life, how will he transform his life and find a place where his heart can finally settle?
This is a heartwarming story about finding yourself and protecting the things that matter. It follows a lost city dweller as he puts down new roots in ordinary life, makes peace with the world, and finally discovers that wherever the heart finds peace is home.
