Li Chu gets so caught up in her role that she thinks she's a domineering CEO.
With a grand wave of her hand, she spends a “fortune” of three thousand yuan a month to keep He Ji, the best-looking extra on the set, who supposedly can't even afford a meal.
She's going to hide him away in a golden house!
But Li Chu's “golden house” is a basement rental so cramped she can barely turn around.
After working nonstop for five years, He Ji, the mysterious tycoon behind Huayu Group, reads this ridiculous “kept lover contract” and decides the game sounds novel. He might as well treat it as paid leave.
And so, a trillion-yuan CEO is forced to move into a basement.
Li Chu is strict: “As my kept man, you have to behave yourself. Stay home and make instant noodles for me every day!”
He Ji does make them, but thinks instant noodles are unhealthy, so he secretly has a Michelin-starred chef disguise top-grade wagyu as frozen dumplings and fill the fridge with them.
Then one day, after offending someone and losing her job for good, Li Chu tearfully hands over her last two hundred yuan as severance pay. “I'm sorry. Your sugar mommy's gone bankrupt. You're free.”
That afternoon, more than a dozen Rolls-Royces pull up outside the basement.
He Ji, dressed in a suit, lifts her into a car, smiling with lazy menace. “You think three thousand yuan can buy me outright? Miss Li, now it's my turn to keep you. You'll pay the breach-of-contract penalty with the rest of your life.”
