Xian Weimao is a straight-laced researcher with impressive academic skills but next to no money. Luckily, he rode the wave of "professional study companions" and barely managed to pursue a PhD in the US.
His daily routine consisted of walking his employer's dog, cleaning up after parties, and acting as a round-the-clock personal caregiver.
It was exhausting, but the pay was generous.
Compared to how tight things had been before, this was practically the good life.
But he never expected the good life to end so suddenly.
One day, his employer got drunk and declared, "Whoever wants to be a damn overseas student can do it themselves," then dropped out and went back to China without a second thought.
Before Xian Weimao could get his bearings, he was passed around again in a group chat for overseas students.
"Cheap study companion up for grabs. Affordable, skilled, honest, and quiet."

Chang Sheng is an heir to a conglomerate, with maxed-out athletic and musical talent and a face without a single flaw. Wherever he goes, he's the center of attention.
Men and women alike fall for him.
One day, he happened to scroll past a post offering a study companion for hire. He clicked on it for fun, then recognized the familiar, wooden face in the photo at a glance.
Chang Sheng raised an eyebrow and bought him without hesitation.
Xian Weimao had assumed Chang Sheng would be no more unreasonable or difficult than his previous employer, and was mentally prepared for it.
Who knew this new employer's demands for "services" would be a hundred times more outrageous than the last one's?
Chang Sheng (casually flashing his abs): Can you help me put on some sunscreen?
Xian Weimao: Of course.
Chang Sheng: This spot too.
Xian Weimao (hesitant and confused): I really can't do that spot.
[Alipay payment received: 80,000 yuan.]
Chang Sheng (raising an eyebrow): Still can't?
Xian Weimao: ...Fine, why not? We're all fucking brothers here.
Xian Weimao always thought his relationship with Chang Sheng was nothing more than a simple financial transaction.
It wasn't until Chang Sheng's tests crossed the line again and again that he belatedly realized things were getting kind of weird.
Xian Weimao (flustered): No, this is kind of strange.
Chang Sheng (grinning): What's wrong with a kiss? Didn't we agree? We're all fucking brothers here.
Desperate straight-laced bottom x dark, possessive, universally adored top
Theme: There's nothing wrong with loving others, and there's certainly nothing wrong with loving yourself

You're so good at writing, my wife [Xingxingyan] makes me want to learn a major in thunder and lightning. The writing is also great, and the characters are super cool!!
I want to know how many words this book has and when will the two of them talk about it [Lie flat]
My wife is so awesome. She is studying thunder and lightning.
What a great write-up, Mrs. ! Looking forward to updates
The weather aspect is too science fiction, right?
When will this old Yin go offline? Can he be struck to death by lightning 🙏 🙏 🙏
Good guy, I saw that there were 300,000 words, so I thought it would be almost finished. I thought about jumping here to see if it would be another cliche plot of Shou wanting to come back, being unable to come back, and finally compromising for love. It turned out that it might also talk about the old secrets of Shou's parents. This would be a long story.
Did Teacher Xian's parents have an accident because of Old Man Shao's experiment?
WC, when will we be able to reconcile? It's so sour...
