Jiang Yu, the famous campus heartthrob of A University, makes ends meet by letting his admirers treat him to meals and reselling the outrageously expensive bouquets they give him.
Until one day, Admirer A's uncle sneers at him, calling him a gold digger and a social butterfly.
Jiang Yu sneers back: Fine. You say I'm after money? Then I'll show you just how good I am at it.
That very day, he creates an alternate account, puts on women's clothes, and takes the initiative to get close to that "potbellied old man," Gu Nian.
His plan is to make Gu Nian fall for him, then dump him brutally and expose his disgraceful behavior!
Until he shows up at the gym in a pair of fraying shorts he got for 39.9 after haggling.
Gu Nian has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, dressed in a suit and tie. He looks at Jiang Yu as if he were a commodity waiting to be sold to the highest bidder.
"Looking for someone to keep you?" Gu Nian says, raising his eyes calmly. "Spread your legs and let me see."
Jiang Yu: "..." Wait, did someone switch the script on me?
Later, Gu Nian corners Jiang Yu against a wall, while Jiang Yu clutches the black card he has just "scammed" out of him.
Stop kissing me, I can't breathe... Mm.
The plan is going unbelievably well.
Jiang Yu is raking it in, and just as he's about to make a clean getaway, he watches his admirer, Gu Sinan, affectionately call another potbellied middle-aged man "Uncle" at the graduation banquet.
Jiang Yu: ...?
How many uncles do you have?!
Wait, then who is Gu Nian, the man I swindled out of money and affection?!
Jiang Yu glances at his phone. Gu Nian has been messaging him nonstop, calling him "baby" and saying he's prepared a gift. Jiang Yu promptly blocks and deletes him, then runs for it.
He hopes Gu Nian will forget their fateful connection.
Gu Nian has been quite pleased lately.
He's picked up a "boyfriend" who suits him in every way: shy, obedient, and incredibly well-behaved whenever Gu Nian gives him a little something.
That is, until he gets a proposal ring and discovers that his sweet little wife has blocked him.
After looking into it, Gu Nian discovers that his sweet little wife is quite something. His admirers range from the son of a university trustee to an up-and-coming painter, and they could line up all the way from the cafeteria to the campus gates. Even his own nephew is pursuing him so earnestly.
Perhaps Gu Nian still hasn't managed to satisfy him.
Later, Gu Nian grips his chin, his fingertips brushing over his sweet little wife's clenched hand, and chuckles. "Weren't you trying to scam me? Which would satisfy you better, my money or me?"
