Meng Qi lives in a high-end apartment rented by Cheng Jichuan and will not care about it for five years. She thought that if she didn't talk about marriage, she wouldn't be hurt by those things in marriage.
However, Qiao Manning dragged his luggage in and moved in the night before receiving the certificate. She brought with her a joint deposit that had been used without authorization, a fiancé who claimed to be "just meeting an old person", and a wedding that she didn't know whether to go ahead with.
They had only planned to live together for a few days. Later, different men came and went: some gave money, some gave rings, some gave promises, and some only left the tie that they didn't take away the next morning. Cheng Jichuan suddenly set a deadline for the five-year relationship, while Qiao Manning walked through the door even though she knew there were cracks in the marriage.
From then on, support and marriage, loyalty and desire, respectability and betrayal all had prices in this apartment.
They gradually understand that the most expensive thing is never the rent, jewelry, or the money left during divorce, but the fact that a person is still reluctant to leave first even though the relationship is broken.
There are no innocent people in this house, only love debts that must be settled sooner or later.
Purpose: Explore the complex boundaries between marriage, money, desire and loyalty, and show how adults bear the price of dependence, betrayal and self-choice.
