Shen Qichi, a cultural relic restorer who returned from studying abroad, discovered that his family's small dilapidated courtyard house, which carried memories of his childhood and grandfather, was suddenly included in the scope of demolition. The person in charge of this project is none other than Cheng Ye, her "rival" whom she has never dealt with since she was a child and now a prosperous "charterer"! After learning that the policy might protect cultural relics and buildings, in order to preserve the core of the courtyard, Chi Chi resorted to a trick: he asked Cheng Ye to pretend to be a couple, creating a persona of "the aborigines who have maintained their love nest for hundreds of years" in an attempt to comply with the protection regulations.
Forced to cooperate, Cheng Ye looks venomous and disgusting on the surface, but in his heart he hides an unspoken promise of protection from his childhood. The real drama queen CP is online, and everything is going crazy in the alley. Cheng Ye's cousin and partner, elite investment man Lu Huaibei, has a deeper conspiracy about the project. He strongly questions Chi Chi's motives and offers an olive branch to his best friend Jiang Wanyi (a beauty blogger who wants to start a successful business) - on the condition that she secretly "breaks up" the fake couple. In order to raise funds, Wanyi bit the bullet and acted as a "double agent."
On the one hand, Chi Chi and Cheng Ye are quarreling with each other, their elders are urging them to get married, and the "demolition nouveau riche" are showing off their wealth in the neighborhood. They are very sweet but full of dangers (it is discovered that there is a conspiracy to resell cultural relics behind the demolition); on the other hand, Lu Huaibei's actuarial calculation and Jiang Wanyi's straight ball collide, creating strange sparks, and the "transactional relationship" gradually gets out of control. The survival of the courtyard house, the authenticity of Chi Cheng's relationship, Jiang Lu's calculations and heartbeat, and the mysterious case of the loss of cultural relics buried for many years are all mixed into a pot of porridge in the smoke and smoke of the alley. When the interests are at stake and the emotional balance is swinging, the four of them, amidst the trivial matters and the stormy waves, will finally clear away the fog, protect their "old Beijing" and "new future", and also find the most authentic love.
Intent: A group of young people who have been labeled with different labels, in the process of protecting things they cherish together, tear off the labels of prejudice and achieve self-reconciliation and mutual understanding.
