The Moon Shines Full Over the Courtyard Tonight

Gu Xujin is a restorer of ancient architecture at the Palace Museum. His salary is modest, but he has plenty of hobbies, and photography, fishing, and tea drinking all cost a pretty penny. His razor is rusty, his phone is falling apart, and his clothes are torn, but he can't bring himself to replace any of them. A coworker posted his penny-pinching exploits on a forum, and overnight the thread grew into a skyscraper. Yu Tingsheng challenged the post several times, unable to stand it any longer. He hurriedly glanced at a few photos the poster had secretly taken of his handsome coworker in profile, then closed the page. Yu Tingsheng is a documentary director, a severe germaphobe, and extremely particular about everything. He won't stay anywhere but a luxury hotel, and a villa isn't worth having unless it's by the sea. Designer watches and luxury cars are what he calls “basic necessities.” His life motto is four words: enjoy life. On the day the Palace Museum documentary project launched, Yu Tingsheng was dumbfounded to see the disheveled master standing beside him. How could it be the very same man from that post?! Amid the flurry of group photos, a new legendary image was born. One comment from a netizen summed it up: “A rattling old Flying Pigeon bicycle crashes into the roaring engine of a Rolls-Royce!” Yu Tingsheng stepped into Gu Xujin's pigsty of a rented apartment. There was a pile of hole-ridden clothes and a broom with no bristles. He stared at the grime-caked tea mug and couldn't bring himself to drink from it. In the end, his gaze swept over Gu Xujin's face and physique, and he quietly swallowed. He convinced himself that rough had its charms, and stingy had its perks. Spicy crayfish wasn't necessarily any less tasty than Boston lobster. One day Yu Tingsheng unexpectedly ran into Gu Xujin at a mysterious mansion in the capital, one that was closed to the public. Gu Xujin was dressed in a suit, surrounded by all the trappings of a life of luxury, utterly extraordinary. His expression was stern, and the scab on his chin from a dull razor was especially alluring. Yu Tingsheng walked over, suppressing his anger. “Sir, may I ask if the Boston lobster here is any good?” Gu Xujin called for a takeaway box. “Not as good as spicy crayfish, darling.” A broke Palace Museum ancient architecture restorer gong x an ultra-particular, high-profile documentary director shou Two mature men fall in love while each pursues a bit of a career of his own.
