Fortunately, she inherits an apartment building in the middle of nowhere. The unemployed young woman transforms into a landlady. Only, she sees a ghost on the very first day she enters the building, and her tenants' identities and behavior are a little strange too. Two days before she puts the apartments up for rent, a weird, cutesy middle-aged man and a young punk move in. Next, a woman who looks like a famous actress surnamed Liu shows up. Tan Chuchu: "Auntie, your name is Wu... How do you pronounce this character? Oh, 'Zhao'... Wait, are you Wu Zetian?" Collecting rent while lying flat is much more fun than working! But she still has to help these top-tier big shots adjust to modern life and find jobs, or they won't be able to pay rent. Fortunately, with a little prompting from her, the tenants discover that they each have special skills, perfect for survival, entertainment, and making money. Now and then, they even go on adventures in another world... Life is full, exciting, and fun. Later, rumors spread around town: A mysterious rich woman in Dongchuan City is the agent of top figures from all kinds of industries across the country. She has made internet celebrities, entertainers, and athletes famous. But the woman herself is elusive and has never appeared in public. [Highlights of the tenants' antics] The mischievous ghost, Emperor Wuzong of Ming, Zhu Houzhao, is not only obsessed with cosplaying with Yongzheng, but has also become addicted to computer games. "I'll go to bed after one more round!" Emperor Huizong of Song, Zhao Ji, becomes the most popular artsy streamer on the platform, writing and painting live. "Hey, viewer Hongli, can you stop spamming my live chat?" Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji, and Yang Yuhuan form the performing duo "Dragon and Phoenix Legend" and become famous throughout the entertainment industry. "When we retire from the entertainment industry, let's get that guy surnamed Bai to write a memoir for us." The Carpenter Emperor Zhu Youxiao and the Lu Ban Emperor Tugh Temur compete at woodworking. The bathroom they design together for the apartment building is so grand and upscale that it wins the Pritzker Prize, supposedly the Nobel Prize of architecture. Cao Cao and Liu Bei jointly confront Xin Qiji. "Do you think you're a writer of danmei novels? Why did you write us having a baby? And why does the kid look like that guy surnamed Sun?" Xin Qiji: ? Tan Chuchu butts in: "Because you guys didn't have punctuation marks back then, okay?" [Reader's Guide and Warnings] -- Historical accuracy fans, proceed with caution! The characters use historical names and basic character details, but the story takes place in a modern parallel world, with a small portion set in a fictional world of immortal cultivation. The plot is entirely fictional and unrelated to real history. No one travels back in time to change history. -- An ensemble cast, with a focus on cheerful everyday life and the tenants' daily squabbles and family affairs. A happy ending is a must. -- The heroine is a goofy, adorable, emotionally clueless neighborhood mediator with a quirky way of thinking, and she also works as a talent agent. -- None of the people who move in are villains. No one is put down or smeared. -- Villains generally acknowledged as such are not whitewashed, and real historical couples are not broken up.
