The Rent Is One Thousand and Three Lives, so Come and Live Here

Chen Xu, 28 years old, is a socially fearful programmer, ridiculously good-looking but single. On the day he was laid off, the company made up for half a year's salary arrears, and he managed to maintain five figures; but when he got home, his luggage had been piled in the corridor by the landlord - his job was gone, and his home was gone. The money in your pocket is a countdown, not a deposit. He saw a handwritten notice on the telephone pole at the street corner: "Four-story small western-style building in the city center, monthly rent of 1,300, no deposit. If life is tough, come and live here." This price in 2026 was either a scam or a haunted house. Poverty is scarier than ghosts, so he bites the bullet and lives in it. At night, he started a live broadcast to boost his courage, but he discovered an outrageous truth: What the audience saw on the screen was a female ghost in white, but what he saw with his naked eyes were lines of blue code scrolling. The dusty old computer in the house is actually the management terminal of this "Yin Yang Transfer Station" - he is the operation and maintenance recognized by the system as root. Behind six closed doors, there are six souls trapped in obsessions: a woman waiting for a letter that will never come, an aphasic old man who did not say the words of love, an intern who died of exhaustion at his workstation, a lost child looking for his relatives... He changed the code and went to the scene to fulfill the ghost's unfulfilled wish. A group of anti-fans broke into the building and threatened to "expose the script", but were frightened into the hospital by the real ghost; Taoist monks and celebrity bloggers came to gain popularity, but they were all chased away by the real ghost. He lay flat on the sofa, laughing while watching the live broadcast. A man who was thrown down the corridor by life moved into a building specially designed to accommodate "people who have been left behind". He just wanted to help a few poor people, but he didn't expect that in the end, the building belonged to him.
