When You Fall in Love with Zhou Huiyin

[Update schedule: five days on, two days off] [Melancholy, spicy cross-dressing top × hardworking college student bottom who falls for love] Xie Mingkai has always been lucky. Winning a small prize in the lottery and drawing a top-tier character on a single game pull are everyday occurrences for him. One casual move brought him a windfall, and he happened to catch a cryptocurrency boom, doubling his money twice over with ease. Xie Mingkai is only in his final year of high school, yet already has over a million yuan in savings. He thought his life would keep going smoothly like this: maybe he'd take the top spot in the university entrance exams for fun, attend one of the country's top universities, and after graduating, get a relatively stress-free job paying four or five hundred thousand yuan a year, living better than most people. Until... He met Zhou Huiyin, and wanted to keep him. What kind of person is Zhou Huiyin? A tearjerker-novel-standard delicate white-flower mother, a biological father he's never met but who is supposedly very handsome, a wealthy stepfather who's old-fashioned and utterly devoted to his wife, a handsome older stepbrother who's not too old or too young and just as old-fashioned, and, oh, a best friend who's about to become his sister-in-law. Together, these people make up his life on easy mode. Love that never runs out, money that can never be spent, praise that never gets old. On every lively night of indulgence, Zhou Huiyin always finds a moment to smell the lavender fragrance lingering on his wrist, light a cigarette to fill the emptiness inside, then laugh and chide himself: “Zhou Huiyin, you're being a little melodramatic.” A story about a straight guy realizing he has feelings and working hard to marry a rich, beautiful woman. [Content warnings] 1. Zhou is the top, Xie is the bottom. The top has never been with anyone before, the bottom is taller than the top, and the top is bad in bed. Happy ending. 2. The top has long hair and likes to cross-dress. He's bad-tempered and loves fun and beauty. In the middle and later parts of the story, he'll usually dress as a man when going to work. 3. The romance is slow-burn. Before the top and bottom officially become a couple, the top won't maintain, and isn't obligated to maintain, exclusivity in body or heart. 4. The top is the novel's sole protagonist. The story is mainly told from his perspective and follows his personal growth. 5. The top has plenty of people around him: family, friends, and admirers. The bottom has to break himself down and rebuild himself to be worthy of standing by his side. In other words, the top is extremely, extremely hard to pursue. 6. “Devoted love” refers to the bottom's feelings for the top. Theme: Love yourself and love life
