share time: 2026-05-23 00:36:21

Lin Weiwei, a senior executive, stays at her boyfriend Chen Mo’s home for a project inspection, only to find his parents have been pretending to be poor for 20 years—their shabby sofa, simple meals and humble old house. Chen Mo kept the secret because his parents, actually reclusive millionaires, chose to act poor to foster his independence. Planning to introduce Weiwei to his “ordinary parents” without revealing their wealth, his parents accidentally show antique traces for a perfect act. Chen Mo slips up mentioning their limited-edition car, blowing their cover. Weiwei, who once pitied his supposed poor background, teases about being “fooled by their poverty act”, and their relationship deepens. This unexpected twist turns their family’s “pretend game” into a sweet bonding catalyst.
