[Money-loving landlady vs. soul-snatching envoy from Hell]
One is short on money, the other is short on love. In the end, they find their way to each other.
*
The good news: Jin Zhixui graduated from high school and immediately inherited two apartments and a cat.
The bad news: Her tenant was a deadbeat, and Jin Zhixui was so broke she counted money in her dreams.
On her first day of school, Jin Zhixui ran into the legendary soul-snatching envoy from Hell, Hei Heng.
They said anyone who got close to him would have bad luck.
Jin Zhixui: I'm out of here. If I can't afford to offend him, I can at least stay away, right?
Unexpectedly, Hei Heng came straight to her door.
Hei Heng: Can I rent your place?
Jin Zhixui looked at him, then at her bank balance, and gritted her teeth. "You're in!"

Later, Jin Zhixui realized Hei Heng was basically a walking "character detector."
She had a sudden idea. "Isn't this a ready-made recipe for going viral?"
Hei Heng: "If you want to try, I'll do it with you."
Later still, their "character test" videos went viral across the internet, and all kinds of trouble came one after another.
Jin Zhixui rolled up her sleeves. "You want to bully someone I care about? Did I give you permission?"

Before he moved in, Jin Zhixui: "Stay away from me."
After he moved in, Jin Zhixui looked at the rent she'd received. "...His life isn't easy either."
Before he moved in, Hei Heng: "I just want to be closer to her."
After he moved in, Hei Heng looked at the fridge she'd stuffed full of delicious food. "...I wouldn't mind getting a little closer."
*
When his lease was nearly up, Hei Heng handed her the key.
Jin Zhixui was startled. "Huh? Are you moving out?"
Hei Heng pressed his bank card into her palm. "I'll give you all my money. Could I get just a little closer?"
