A one-on-one romance, both are each other’s first love, happy ending. A silly, wooden, sarcastic short-haired bottom x a seemingly gentle, secretly scheming long-haired top.
After saying, “I really want to fall in love,” Yu Yin transmigrates, with a romance System in tow.
The good news: The System says it can send him home once he completes all the romance tasks.
The bad news: He has to date a man.
But he’s straight!
To get home, he approaches his roommate, who claims they’re good friends. “How about we pretend to date?”
His roommate agrees without hesitation.
The romance tasks are ridiculous. Things like “steal an item of clothing the other person has worn,” “take nude photos of them,” and “kiss them 99 times”…
Luckily, his roommate is very cooperative. He lets Yu Yin take photos and kiss him, though he is a bit too clingy.
When his roommate holds the back of his neck and kisses him again, Yu Yin feels guilty but moved:
What a great friend, sacrificing so much for him.

Mu Jingchen has a secret. One day, the roommate who’d previously been easy to overlook wakes up with a strange yet clear look in his eyes and says, “I think I’ve lost my memory. Are we close?”
Looking into those beautiful eyes, Mu Jingchen smiles and lies. “Of course. We’re best friends.”
Then he receives an invitation from his roommate to pretend to be in a relationship.
Yu Yin is clingy. He not only steals clothes Mu Jingchen has worn, but also takes pictures of him every day and sneaks his clothes off while he’s asleep.
Mu Jingchen goes along with every absurd request, thinking that they’re falling for each other.
On the eve of his confession, he hears Yu Yin say, “My ideal type? Obviously a gentle, long-legged older woman.”
The smile on his face slowly freezes.
So was all of this just pretend?
In the dim stairwell, Yu Yin kisses him awkwardly to complete a task. Mu Jingchen closes his eyes and gently wraps his arms around Yu Yin’s waist.
Why can’t he have a gentle, beautiful boyfriend?

Yu Yin is troubled because he accidentally hooked up with Mu Jingchen.
But they’re both straight.
Sure, he loves talking to Mu Jingchen, loves spending time with him, and his heart inexplicably races whenever he thinks about him…
But he really is straight.
He decides to confide in a friend.
Friend: “What? You two still haven’t started dating?”
Yu Yin: “We’re good buddies.”
Mu Jingchen: “Right.”
“Sure, we’ve cuddled, kissed, and slept together. We say good night to each other every day. His clothes are in my closet, and my toothbrush is in his cup…”
“But we’re still completely innocent good buddies.”
Reader’s Notes:
1. Silly, wooden, sarcastic bottom x gentle, domestic, secretly scheming top. One-on-one, both are each other’s first love, happy ending. The top is openly in love with the bottom.
2. Not really a case of turning a straight guy gay; more like a stubborn denial.
3. The bottom really is incredibly dense. He eventually goes home and won’t stay in this world forever. They’ll end up together and live happily ever after. The System plays a minor role.
4. Neither lead is a perfect character.
5. A bittersweet secret-crush story from the top’s point of view, and a light, sweet romance from the bottom’s. Come give it a try~
