Ye Yanzhou has long been troubled by the irresistible charm bestowed on him by fate.

His stunning looks, immense wealth, and extraordinary talent have left him constantly fending off a swarm of admirers.

After trying all sorts of approaches, he finally found the perfect excuse to turn them down:

"Sorry, I have a boyfriend."

With every rejection, his imaginary boyfriend's character became more and more fleshed out.

According to Ye Yanzhou, his boyfriend is handsome and sunny, generous and kind. They've known each other since childhood and grew up and went to school together. Now his boyfriend is busy running his company back home, but he'll be coming to Country A to reunite with him soon.

Watching people reluctantly give up after hearing this, Ye Yanzhou couldn't help snickering.

Until one day, this "boyfriend" really did knock on his door.

A gentle voice, both strange and familiar, rang out:

"Zhouzhou, I came to find you."

Tang Qi thinks his boyfriend has been acting strange lately.

Ever since he made good on his promise and reunited with him at his home in Country A, his boyfriend has seemed astonished, as if he shouldn't be here, or as if he had never existed at all.

So Tang Qi starts to have doubts... Just kidding. He definitely exists. Otherwise, why would his heart be filled with love for Ye Yanzhou, with only one thought in his mind: to stay by Ye Yanzhou's side?

Everyone has thoughts like that, right?
