Synopsis

Liu Jiayin is a material girl, who has the concept of "spending money is a kind of beauty". She is obsessed with diamonds, swiping credit cards, and shopping, and even sleeps with her bags. She is also known as "Liu Maimai".

However, after she broke up with her rich boyfriend, she has to sell all her luxury goods to pay off her debts.

The actor, Wang Jiwei, is born to save money and does everything he can to save money, not only taking the attitude of "saving money" to the extreme but also elevating it to the level of "art".

His goal in life is to "earn a limited amount of money and enjoy an unlimited amount of life".He is known as "Wang Koukou"

After being dismissed from his theatre company due to a stage accident, Wang Jiwei fails to find a new resident and faces the "double hit" of unemployment and homelessness.

By coincidence, "Wang Koukou" meets "Liu Maimai", who is his turning point in life.

They meet by accident in a theatre and share a house under a series of coincidences, living an absurd life of vagrancy.
