Everyone says Tao Nian is lucky.
Ever since he was born, he's lived in the huge villa his parents worked hard to afford, with three nannies fussing over him. Later, while he was in college, his family went bankrupt. Before he could fall from heaven into hell, he moved straight into the enormous mansion his childhood friend Gu Lichuan had worked hard to build. Not only did the number of nannies shoot up to seven, but he also had a whole team at his service, including a butler, driver, private doctor, and nutritionist.
Tao Nian thinks he's lucky too.
After moving into Gu Lichuan's house, he enjoyed the comfortable life for a while, then suddenly realized something was off.
His good friend Gu Lichuan, who was practically a brother to him...
Why was he always staring at his butt?

To save his butt, Tao Nian decides to fend for himself and secretly move out of the huge mansion while Gu Lichuan is away on a business trip.
Three months later.
After going through the many hardships of life, including being extorted by a sublandlord, ostracized by a clique at work, and being ordered by a big spender on his livestream to perform the master's commands, Tao Nian returns to Gu Lichuan's mansion with an empty suitcase.
Gu Lichuan opens the door and sees that the boy, who used to have chubby cheeks, has grown thin enough to have a pointed chin. His bright black eyes are full of pleading and pitiful hope.
"Li-ge, you said before that I could come back whenever I wanted. Do you still mean it?"
Gu Lichuan leisurely takes out his phone and shows Tao Nian the private messages on the livestreaming platform. Then he says, "Of course. As long as you complete the task I assigned you before."
