Who gets it? What is it like to rent a room to a "handsome but broke guy"?
The day Lu Zheng moved into my rental, he wore a cheap hoodie and said he didn't have a steady job.
He unclogged drains, fixed appliances, took care of all three meals, and handed over every last bit of the few hundred yuan he earned from odd jobs for me to look after.
I thought I'd kindly taken in a down-on-his-luck young man. In reality, I'd picked up the heir to a trillion-yuan financial empire, a man whose name terrified the business world.
He was pretending to be destitute to escape his family's schemes. Behind the scenes, he was turning the business world upside down, then coming home to wash dishes and cook for me.
When his identity was exposed, the whole internet exploded, and countless people waited to see me become a laughingstock.
But Lu Zheng said that wealth and splendor were just the icing on the cake. What he truly wanted, more than anything in this life, was the everyday companionship we shared in that little rental.
No melodramatic misunderstandings, no vicious first love. This big shot has eyes and a heart only for the heroine.
