Cheng An is a clueless little charlatan whose fortune-telling skills leave a lot to be desired.
A torrential downpour floods the small island where his family of charlatans lives, so Cheng An has no choice but to cross the ocean and return to his old line of work in the city.
At a bar, Cheng An spots a mature man who looks loaded.
Cheng An launches into his pitch: "Sir, I can see that your glabella is dark. Your love life needs a spark! This great immortal can guarantee you a happy marriage. No need for round yuan! Just RMB..."
The big shot actually believes him!
The only price is that Cheng An has to offer up his backside every night.
But that's fine. The big shot has broad, comfy pecs and gently holds him in his arms, cooing to him. And every morning, Cheng An wakes up to find lots and lots of extra zeroes in his bank account.
One morning, Cheng An wakes up groggily in the big shot's arms and finds him carefully measuring his ring finger, murmuring about the lead time for a custom diamond ring.
M-Marriage?!
Cheng An paddles away in his shabby little boat under cover of night and hurries back to the island.

A few months later.
Cheng An stares pensively at his round little belly, which has inexplicably started to swell.
His family elders curse him out: "What a disgrace to the family!"
Cheng An is kicked off the island and pitifully crosses the ocean back to the city.
He timidly asks around about the big shot's background.
A passerby pales in shock. "That's the head of a prominent family! I hear he's gone crazy looking for his lover lately. He blows off steam at the boxing gym every day and can shatter someone's bones with one hand!"
Cheng An: QAQ!
Just as he's about to run, a shadow suddenly falls over him from behind, and the familiar, dangerous scent of sandalwood drifts down.
The big shot looks down at him, his eyes as dark as a storm about to break.
"Why did you run away, baby?"
"Isn't this... our baby?"

The big shot had lived for thirty years with no worldly desires, and was ruthless in his methods.
But even as he watched Cheng An's clumsy scam, he fell for him willingly, like a lovestruck boy experiencing his first crush.
He'd even started picking out an engagement ring.
Then Cheng An vanished overnight.
The big shot searched the whole city, nearly turning it upside down, until one day...
He looked down sternly at the culprit who'd been missing for so long, now holding a cup of milk tea and cradling his belly, asking someone a question with a clueless look on his face.
*[Bonus Scene]*
The whole city says the big shot will tear the con man who toyed with his feelings limb from limb once he catches him.
At a certain banquet, someone witnesses a scene in the lounge.
The big shot carefully holds a petite young man in his arms.
The young man's feet rest on the big shot's abs as he whines about feeling sore.
The big shot gently massages the young man's slightly swollen legs, sore from pregnancy.
"There, there. You'll feel better after the baby's born."
"Hang in there a little longer, okay?"
Everyone: ???
