Jiang Yan is an obscure actor, so unknown that even marketing accounts wouldn't rank him among their hidden gems. His family is just ordinary, and he doesn't know how to work the room, so he never gets access to good opportunities. He can't even land an audition.
When his agent first started working with him, he thought Jiang Yan was a rising star, the kind who could make it big on looks alone. But after three years, Jiang Yan was still a complete nobody. He was stubborn, too, refusing to attend any drinking parties. When his agent finally managed to trick him into going to one, Jiang Yan didn't even understand the investor's hints, and another good opportunity went down the drain.
His agent refused to give up. He swore he'd play pimp and sell Jiang Yan off, and finally saw a glimmer of hope at a banquet!
The new money in front of him didn't speak in roundabout hints like the previous investors. Instead, he got straight to the point and voiced his most vulgar demand: "Be with me, and I'll get you the best opportunities."
Jiang Yan looked at the handsome man across from him and stared blankly. "Huh? Me?"
Jiang Yan was hopelessly attracted to good-looking men, so he agreed without thinking. He'd assumed that a rich, handsome man who resorted to keeping someone would be difficult to deal with, or have some kind of unusual fetish. He was ready for unreasonable demands, but to his surprise, the man was remarkably easygoing and agreed to anything he asked.
Gu Yu was practically a perfect sugar daddy. He showered Jiang Yan with opportunities but never interfered in his career. That was, until one day, Gu Yu insisted on appearing with him on a gay dating show.

Gu Yu had never met anyone who fit his tastes so perfectly, so he immediately made his move.
As a lover, Jiang Yan was practically perfect. He was so indulgent that Gu Yu could even say he spoiled him. Apart from not being able to make their relationship public, he was the perfect boyfriend.
Though sometimes, Gu Yu felt that something was a little off.
Until one time, he visited Jiang Yan on set and heard his boyfriend's agent sigh, "Mr. Gu is an amazing sugar daddy. He's invested so much in you. Before, you'd think I was trying to ruin your life whenever I told you to find one."
Gu Yu's face darkened on the spot.
No wonder Jiang Yan always went along with everything, never got angry or threw a tantrum, and didn't even dare to call for a break when he couldn't take it anymore. Jiang Yan thought of him as his boyfriend, while Gu Yu only saw him as a sugar daddy who needed to be catered to?
And how many sugar daddies had Jiang Yan had, anyway???
