Co-Renting with a Bankrupt Boss

share time: 2025-10-26 12:30:19

Chen Xianyu, a former CEO of a listed company, goes bankrupt overnight due to an investment failure. To pay off debts, he rents out the second bedroom of his downtown apartment. His tenant is Zhang Zixuan, a sharp-tongued fresh-grad graphic designer—she mocks Chen for "still acting like a boss," while Chen teases her for "staying up late drawing like a maniac." They bicker daily like a quarrelsome couple. Until Zhang catches Chen secretly working as a food delivery rider: seeing him eating cold buns by the roadside softens her, so she helps him lie that he's "experiencing life" and even designs a promotion poster for his delivery shop. In return, Chen quietly helps Zhang deal with a client who bullied her at work. But just as their relationship deepens, Chen's old creditors show up, and Zhang discovers a shocking secret: the truth about his bankruptcy is actually related to her missing brother?
