Pei Zhiyu has a stunningly beautiful, cool and aloof face, but in real life he's a miserable corporate drone, constantly exploited by his demonic boss.
Lately, work has been so stressful it feels like an explosion waiting to happen. To blow off steam, he digs up the embarrassing secret hobby he'd tried to bury: posting photos of himself in women's clothes all over a certain website.
Then one day, he accidentally taps the site's newly added matchmaking feature and gets matched with someone. Curious, Pei Zhiyu clicks into the account. Oh wow...
A six-foot-two, broad-shouldered, diamond-tier high school hottie (American school edition)
A ridiculously rich, nth-generation heir (American dollar edition)
The other person likes every photo of Pei Zhiyu in women's clothes and messages him first: [Hi, girl. The photos on your profile are beautiful. Is that you?]
A foreigner with a foreign IP address, and Pei Zhiyu is presenting himself as a girl. The risk of being found out is zero, so he lets loose completely and launches into a passionate online chat.
The younger American high schooler may be young, but he knows how to treat someone well. He's direct and generous, and provides all the emotional support Pei Zhiyu could want. Most importantly, he's incredibly fit! They're on the same wavelength, turning any conversation, innocent or dirty, into something sexual. Even with the Pacific Ocean between them, they know how to get wild.
After dating online for a while, Pei Zhiyu no longer feels hurt by his family, work is less stressful, and he stops ranting about his inhuman boss. His complexion is rosy, and he looks full of life, until...
His younger boyfriend wants to hop on a plane and come to China to meet him in person!
Pei Zhiyu puts him off several times, but the other guy remains stubborn and grows more and more clingy, even showing an intense desire to control him.
Pei Zhiyu only wants to keep their relationship online. With no other choice, he breaks up with him, blocks him, deletes his account, and runs for the hills.

One month later.
Pei Zhiyu is summoned to his boss's office.
When he sees the young, striking mixed-race face behind his boss, he freezes in shock.
Isn't that the younger American high school boyfriend he just dumped?!
His boss introduces him as his brother-in-law, who has returned to China after many years away. The young man has been depressed ever since getting dumped by his online boyfriend, so the boss orders Pei Zhiyu to take him sightseeing and help him relax. His pay will be doubled for the duration.
The meek corporate drone accepts the task with a grimace, telling himself that with all his layers of disguise, there's no way his secret will get out. He doesn't notice the increasingly strange look in the young man's eyes.

At last, they make it to the airport, where Pei Zhiyu is supposed to see him off on his flight back to the States. Just as Pei Zhiyu thinks he's successfully gotten away with it, the young man says he left a gift for him at the hotel and asks the driver to turn around.
Pei Zhiyu follows him into the hotel room and only belatedly realizes he's fallen into a trap. The gift the other guy mentioned is a bed covered from end to end with dresses!
The tall young man easily pins the slender, delicate Pei Zhiyu in his arms and asks in a menacing voice, "Didn't you say you were interested in dressing up as a girl, big brother?"
In real life, Pei Zhiyu's persona is that of a pure, cool beauty. He immediately plays dumb. "What are you talking about, little brother? I'm an honest man. I don't understand any of that."
The young man then pulls out another object. "Then surely you recognize this, big brother."
Pei Zhiyu takes a closer look and faints on the spot.
It's the little toy he agreed, in a moment of weakness during their online romance, to have marked with a special symbol for the other guy.
He always kept it locked in the bedside table in his bedroom. How the hell did it end up in this guy's hands?!?!?!?!
*
A huge contrast: cool and aloof corporate drone in real life, gorgeous beauty who lets loose online, the one being pursued
Extremely possessive, six-foot-two and broad-shouldered, mixed-race younger American high schooler, the pursuer
Six-year age gap (the one being pursued is 24, the pursuer is 18)
Both are each other's first love, and neither has been with anyone else
