Su Chen, the top student in the aerospace department of a prestigious university, a mathematical genius who aces every experiment and has hands as steady as a surgeon's. The only thing he is hopelessly slow to grasp is romance.
He doesn't know what "bottom" means.
He doesn't know what BL is.
But he knows he has to pretend to be gay to get that 200,000 yuan.
"Student Su Chen, could you tell us about your hobbies?"
"Mathematics."
The entire room falls silent.
While the other guests carefully pose for the cameras, create romantic tension, and flaunt their charms, Su Chen sits on a pink sofa, back straight and expressionless, like a Terracotta Warrior who wandered into a flock of peacocks.
He's not gay. He likes women.
There's only one reason he came here: he's broke.
His research funding was cut in half, his retiring advisor can't help him, and the lab's nanomaterials are so expensive they're sold by the gram. The appearance fee for this dating show is just enough to keep him going through the whole research cycle.
What he didn't count on:
The CEO keeps looking at him in increasingly strange ways.
The gentle doctor is always "just happening" to be by his side.
The younger idol keeps throwing himself into Su Chen's arms.
The literary author writes one poem after another for him.
The aerospace researcher can talk shop with him until dawn.
And what he counted on even less was this:
Thirty days later, he would lose more than just 200,000 yuan.
He would also lose the heart he thought would never beat for anyone.
"He's a husky who wandered into a flock of swans, the biggest bug in dating-show history, and everyone's unspoken secret.
He pretends to fall in love with a man, but really does fall in love with someone."
