The Ordinary Talent's Counterattack for His Landlady

share time: 2025-10-22 12:32:48

Lin Chuan is the most "inconspicuous" tenant in the old alley—working at a convenience store by day and writing unheard songs in his rental at night. Until one day, his beautiful landlady Su Xiaotang knocked on his door with red eyes: her mother’s old bookstore was being forced out by a real estate company for "illegal renovation," even the signature wall full of old customers’ memories was to be demolished. Seeing Su Xiaotang trembling with panic, Lin Chuan quietly posted his three-year-old folk song "The Lamp at the Alley Entrance" on a music platform and wrote an article "The Mother in the Bookstore" as an "old alley tenant." Unexpectedly, the song topped the trending list overnight, the article was shared by literary giants, and even the local TV station came to report. The real estate company’s suppression instantly turned into national support, and Su Xiaotang then discovered: this "ordinary boy" who always fixed her pipes was actually Lin Gui—the "genius creator" who swept the Golden Melody Awards with "Evening Wind in the Old Alley" five years ago but disappeared for refusing capital control. When the company tried to threaten again with a contract loophole, Lin Chuan pulled out his "trump card": a custom theme song for the bookstore and an open letter co-signed by ten writers. This war over memories and survival became a counterattack to protect warmth, all thanks to the hidden talent of an "ordinary person." And looking at Lin Chuan in front of the camera, Su Xiaotang suddenly realized she’d already fallen for this "ordinary but shining" boy.
