[Handsome, sharp-featured, sweet-on-the-outside-but-dark-within gong × soft-featured, mild-mannered shou]
After Xiang Yao was scammed by someone pretending to be a suitor, he tried to make up for his mistake and unexpectedly found a man who seemed to be an accomplice.
When he first met Gu Yu, he thought the man was a lousy scammer.
So flustered and guilty, he couldn't even look Xiang Yao in the eye.
Yet he was surrounded by so many suspicious details that Xiang Yao couldn't help wondering if the scammer's acting was just too good.
So Xiang Yao decided to lie in wait, pretending to be the suitor's boyfriend.
He put on a devoted persona, following and clinging to Gu Yu, hoping to use him as bait to catch the mastermind behind the scam. Who knew Gu Yu would test him?
Gu Yu: How much do you love him?
Xiang Yao gritted his teeth. "I love him to death."
I'll send him to prison to spend the rest of his life there. How about that!
Gu Yu worked his way through school, supporting himself until he became a corporate drone in the service industry.
He thought he'd lucked out when he ran into the boy he'd adored since childhood, and eagerly pursued him, only to nearly end up as the other man.
Terrified, he pulled out in time, only to run into the real boyfriend soon after.
Gu Yu waited anxiously for him to take revenge, but instead the man kept showing him warmth and drawing closer.
Gu Yu watched the honey-coated blade suspended at his throat, never coming down.
He thought Xiang Yao might be someone with principles, someone who wouldn't strike unless he was absolutely sure.
So, trembling, he tested him. "How much do you love him?"
Note: Both leads are beautiful; they dote on each other, and the gong gets clingy.
Theme: Stay alert and beware of scams.
