Gu Yanzhou's family is constantly pressuring him to get married. So he can focus on making indie games in peace, he signs a "fake dating and cohabitation agreement" with a cool, mature woman who's also being pressured to marry.
He thinks they'll stay out of each other's way. But on the first day of the new semester, the coldest young female professor on campus, Yan Shuqing, is staring icily at him in class. She has a ninety percent failure rate in her courses and terrifies the entire school.

Everyone thinks Gu Yanzhou is doomed, but they have no idea...
By day, she's an untouchable beauty who keeps everyone at arm's length and strikes hard at school. But when she gets home at night, she wears Gu Yanzhou's oversized T-shirt and, flustered over being stuck in a game, bats her eyes at him and pleads, "Yanzhou, could you help me get past this level...?"

Then one day, she happens to see the backend code for the "genius godfather of gaming" everyone's been searching for on Gu Yanzhou's computer...
Yan Shuqing is stunned. "So the man I've been showering with money online and chasing after every day is the very student I call on and make stand in the corner at school?!"
