Zhou Huan, a 25-year-old doctoral student in literature, comes from a low-income family in Y County. His father died early, his mother suffered from cancer, and he was burdened with a loan shark of 350,000 yuan. When he was attacked by debt collectors on a rainy night, he was "rescued" by Xue Xingci, a 22-year-old finance student driving a Porsche. Xue Xingci paid off his debts on the spot, with only one condition - to be his fake boyfriend to fight against his extremely controlling mother Zhao Yi, and to "pave the way" for Lin Xiwei, the tutor he has had a crush on for many years.
One is a poor, tolerant student from a humble family who has buried his sexual orientation for ten years; the other is an arrogant, lonely young master from a wealthy family who is overwhelmed by family expectations. They signed a ridiculous contract and from then on entered the campus and faced their families as lovers. From using each other to gradually getting closer, from testing defenses to being unable to escape, this performance that started as a transaction will eventually tear open the deepest wounds of the two people and force them to face their truest and most vulnerable selves.
