[Two male leads + melodrama + intense tragic romance + reunion after a long separation + happy ending]
Well-mannered scoundrel seme × insecure, affection-starved uke
At a dinner, Sui Ning, who is being given a hard time by his supervisor, meets Lin Hechen, who steps in to help him out.
After several encounters, the emotionally numb Sui Ning is brought back to life by him and falls hopelessly in love with this golden boy.
He willingly becomes Lin Hechen's contract lover, just so Lin will look his way a little more and maybe feel something for him.
Living together is wonderful. Lin Hechen is always gentle and patient with Sui Ning, and Sui Ning begins to dream about their future together.
But whenever he gets lost in love, Lin Hechen shatters his illusions with one scandalous rumor after another.
Sui Ning grows increasingly insecure, and his mental health deteriorates.
Separated by a single wall, Sui Ning weeps in agony. He wants to call for help, but no sound comes out.
“Sui Ning, I never loved him.”
Lin Hechen's casual tone shatters Sui Ning completely.
He understands now: love you have to beg for is fake, and in the end it will be taken away.
So he quietly leaves and never shows his face again.
But Lin Hechen, who claimed he “didn't love him,” searches for him like a madman...
