Lu Zhaozhao, a wealthy heiress, disguises herself in a pilled sweatshirt and hangs around a matchmaking corner to escape an arranged marriage. She vows to be a street pauper with less money in her pockets than her face is worth.
Pei Yue, an heir to tens of billions, rebels against his arranged marriage by putting on a grease-stained jacket and pretending to be an auto mechanic's apprentice. He doesn't even have thirty yuan to his name.
At the matchmaking table, they split a four-yuan plate of fried rice noodles, then fight over two-and-a-half-yuan yogurt that's about to expire. Two people who look poor meet, and each is overwhelmed with sympathy for the other.
"Don't put on a brave face, mechanic. I'll pick up cardboard to support you!"
"Quit bragging, scrap collector. Here, you can have this half a chicken neck."
To maintain their down-and-out personas, they fight over discounted food at street stalls every day, complaining about each other while secretly engaging in a reverse poverty-alleviation campaign.
Until they keep running into each other at high-end charity galas and business negotiation tables...
One wears a plastic cleaning apron, the other a red property-patrol armband, and together they sneak into the fire escape to share Australian lobster.
As their secret identities are stripped away layer by layer, the two representatives stare at each other across the table at the signing ceremony for their wealthy families' arranged marriage:
We agreed to live on welfare together. You're actually a young billionaire heir?
You said you collected scrap, but you're actually a hidden heiress and a major authority on ancient architecture!
