Tall and slender, he's the envy of many girls, enough to circle the hospital three times over. Unfortunately, he has someone he loves, a secret crush on his best friend for almost ten years. The other person is a staunchly heterosexual and homophobic. - Shen Shangnian, a spoiled rich kid, is usually sharp-tongued and irritable, defiant of everyone. He's obsessed with introducing new girlfriends to his father, much to his stepmother's dismay. Only Chen Zhijuan can soothe his bad temper. - One day, Shen Shangnian accidentally witnesses a man confessing his love to Chen Zhijuan. Panicked, he shields Chen Zhijuan behind him: "He doesn't like men, get lost!" Chen Zhijuan grabs his hand, saying each word clearly: "I like men." Shen Shangnian's world collapses. Knowing Shen Shangnian's homophobia, Chen Zhijuan was already prepared for Shen Shangnian to cut ties with him. Unexpectedly, Shen Shangnian huffed and puffed as he showed up. "Let's change it, and then continue playing, okay?" Chen Zhijuan smiled, as if laughing at his naiveté. "No way." "Unless you're a girl." Shen Shangnian: "..."
