[Important: Both leads are inexperienced, happy ending] "Arrogant, scheming hot nerd top x hot-tempered, innocent, dark-skinned athlete bottom"
Chu You hates one person more than anyone else: the playboy Gu Zejin. And yet, by some cruel twist of fate, they become roommates.
When he starts his freshman year, Chu You prepares himself to be disgusted to death by all of Gu Zejin's shameless antics.
But as soon as he enters campus, he spots a boy in a white shirt with an extraordinary air about him.
The boy turns his head, revealing a face that is both refined and alluringly restrained.
Chu You stares for a long moment before recognizing him. Isn't that his sworn enemy?!
Even more absurdly, he keeps seeing Gu Zejin's photos on the campus forum, captioned: "Name your price for this handsome guy's contact info!"
The photos show a strikingly handsome, charming face, cool and aloof, as if above it all.
Before long, countless people are lining up to try and win over this aloof beauty.
Listening to everyone around him discuss Gu Zejin, Chu You feels a heavy responsibility settle on his shoulders.
He's the only one who knows what this guy is really like! One day, he'll tear off that fake mask!
Chu You picks fights with Gu Zejin in every way he can, just as he always has, expecting to provoke him.
But Gu Zejin only furrows his brow slightly and says coolly in front of all their new classmates, "Stop pestering me. I'm not making up with you."
Chu You: "?"
Before the scumbag can be exposed, the homophobic straight guy is punched straight into the ranks of scumbag exes begging to get back together, transformed into a lovesick gay man.

Yan Jinxian, an MD from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, has movie-star looks and a privileged background. The world comes easily to him.
But genius comes with a sense of emptiness. Yan Jinxian rarely feels any emotional fluctuations, and in his 25 years, he has never liked anyone.
An accident turns Yan Jinxian into someone else.
The original owner of his body has a mountain of romantic entanglements, as well as a sworn enemy who won't stop pestering him and hates him to the point of grinding his teeth.
In Yan Jinxian's 25 years, Chu You is the most irritating person he's ever met. He's not only annoying, but stupid, too.
Later, when a male supporting character confesses to him, Chu You, who is usually homophobic, doesn't blow up or lash out. Instead, he patiently explains things to him.
Yan Jinxian stands with his arms crossed in the dim shadows of the equipment room, his eyes cold, like a male ghost.
He calls Chu You by his given name, with an intimacy that doesn't include his surname.
He doesn't blow up or call the other guy a disgusting gay man anymore. He looks like the sort who could be won over by relentless pursuit.
Is he really that special to you?
After practice that day, Yan Jinxian pins Chu You's wrist and presses him against the locker room wall. Their cheeks brush as he speaks, his tone firm and tinged with jealousy:
"Let's get back together."
Chu You: "???"
