Synopsis
Zhang Yuwen, a multimillionaire director, quits movies to write a novel worth calling art, then finds his characters keep coming out flat. Short on real-life experience, he fills his villa with gay tenants to study: single dad Yan Jun, fitness coach Chen Hong, shy livestreamer Zheng Weize and would-be photographer Chang Jinxing, a known playboy. The open question is whether the house holds together long enough for him to finish, or whether the mess becomes the book.
