[Part One: Village Life Making Guqin]
Wu Li, whose striking looks have attracted one terrible admirer after another, chooses to return to his hometown and become a traditional guqin maker, seeking a quiet life away from the world. He applies to use a small courtyard owned by the village committee as his workshop, only to have it claimed as a dormitory by a newly arrived volunteer teacher.
The handsome, courteous young master from a wealthy family comes to the countryside to teach and quickly becomes popular. Wu Li, however, is determined to drive away this interloper who's ruining his plans!
Wu Li has no idea the young master fell in love with him at first sight. He goes to great lengths to torment the young master, only to play right into his hands. After days of trying without success, Wu Li is baffled. Why hasn't the young master cried yet? Why does he seem to be enjoying this?! Why does he keep looking so handsome and trying to seduce him? Is this torment or a reward?
As the young master continues to unleash his charm, Wu Li realizes his sexual orientation is in serious danger.
Wu Li looks at Jiang Xing with certainty and smiles, lips curling. "You like me."
Jiang Xing steps closer and gazes into his eyes. "You don't like me?"
Wu Li tilts his head slightly and reaches out to pinch his chin. "I'm not sure yet, but I'll let you pursue me."
[Part Two: University Life in the City]
Wu Li: "Please, give me one more chance. I'll do anything you want."
Jiang Xing: "Anything?"
Wu Li: "Fine, I'll even be your fuck buddy."
Jiang Xing looks at him coldly and says nothing.
Wu Li adds, "But you can't date anyone else."
Jiang Xing: "You're in no position to make demands of me."
