Jiang Qie was a moderately successful second-tier actor. He’d been in a platonic relationship with his boyfriend for three years, and thought his boyfriend was simply born emotionally distant.
It wasn’t until he was bound to the True Love System that he discovered his boyfriend had long had someone else in his heart.
Jiang Qie had merely been a stand-in for the person his boyfriend loved.
Furious, Jiang Qie broke up with him, only for his ex to twist the story and tell everyone Jiang Qie was a jerk.
Even hopeless romantics have their pride!
Unable to stomach the injustice, and with the System urging him to complete his mission to find true love as soon as possible, Jiang Qie decided to set his sights on his ex’s unattainable crush: Pei Xuhuai, a three-time Best Actor winner.
“System, bind me to him!”
But at the crucial moment, the System suddenly malfunctioned. The binding succeeded, but Jiang Qie now had to make physical contact with Pei Xuhuai regularly, or he’d turn red and struggle to breathe.
Jiang Qie: ????

Pei Xuhuai was a good person. That was Jiang Qie’s first impression of him.
When Jiang Qie said they should wear “matching outfits for bros,” Pei Xuhuai didn’t ask questions. He just took off his clothes and changed.
When Jiang Qie’s ex kept spreading rumors, Pei Xuhuai publicly stepped in to set the record straight.
…
At first, Jiang Qie had to make excuses for their physical contact. Later, he started taking it for granted and ordering Pei Xuhuai around. “Come here and let me hug you.”
Pei Xuhuai came over and gently wrapped his arms around him. His gaze turned intense as it swept over Jiang Qie’s lips.

Pei Xuhuai had a secret no one knew: he had fallen for someone else’s boyfriend, and covered his room with photos of him taken from every angle.
Unfortunately, the guy was a hopeless romantic, and Pei Xuhuai could never find a chance to steal him away.
He thought he’d be alone for the rest of his life. Then, as if fate had finally smiled on him, Jiang Qie broke up with his boyfriend and even started approaching him.
Pei Xuhuai could barely contain his delight. He wanted to hide Jiang Qie away immediately.
To avoid scaring him off, he struggled to keep his desires in check and acted like a normal person around Jiang Qie.
As long as Jiang Qie was willing to stay with him, he could pretend to be “normal” forever.
Reading guide:
1. The second male lead gets the guy. Sweet romance, no switching roles.
2. A fluffy romance with no logic.
Theme: Love yourself before loving someone else
It's not a slander, it's just that his kind personality is developing in front of his mother-in-law.
The anomaly in the data is to discover that the other person's love is not worth it, hahahaha
They are indeed a sweetheart and a love rival, but it's the other way around 😏
Boss, please sweet cql extra woo woo woo woo woo 🙏🙏
Poor little one, let the mother of the egg give you another egg.
I'm laughing so hard [crying with laughter] I just unplugged it and it's still fine
🐶 There is no reason not to eat it when it is delivered to your door
Pei: Wife, you don't need to attack me, I'll take the initiative to deliver it to you, okay?
Pei: I hate you for being a piece of wood 😭
This system couldn't have been created by someone else, right?
