(June 1, here we go again with the reports... 6. On a holiday, too. You win.) A healing urban fairy tale. A tsundere gay guy vs. a sly sweet girl. Also known as: "The Gay Guy and the Sweet Girl," "She Turned My Ten Years as a Gay Man into Bisexuality," "She Sweetened My Ten Years of Being Gay into a Question Mark," and "The Sweet Shop Owner and the Gay Artist's Sweet-and-Savory Little Skits."
Lu Wan, 29, is a full-time illustrator, gloomy enough to seem like his dark circles have come to life. For ten years, he has never hesitated to drool over handsome men, and his ideal type is a restrained, muscular hunk.
Who could have guessed that the sweet girl Qin Guo would drop from the sky, carrying a cream puff cake and smiling like a marshmallow bomb? She blew his gay soul to pieces in an instant. His drawings of muscular hunks started turning into sweet girls, smoking tasted bitter and made him want something creamy, and even his social media posts changed from "emo until I die" to "Sweet girl, save me!"
He broke down: "I'm so firmly gay, so how did she flirt with me until I turned into pickled garlic?"
Qin Guo, the little owner of a dessert shop, smiles sweeter than sugary soda and is the perfect cure for Lu Wan's gloom. She's sickeningly sweet, and when she's drunk, she acts cute and says, "You're so fun when you're gay. I like you."
She gives him cake as if it were a love letter, stages an idol-drama scene by calling his spirit home from downstairs, and even lets the hidden plot twist behind "Actually, I..." slip out.
Lu Wan insists he's very gay, but secretly uses an alternate account to leave glowing reviews for her shop.
His best friend laughs so hard that his barbecue skewers hit the ground: "You little gay guy, you've gotten so sweet you're bisexual now. Hurry up and start promoting your ship!"
This is a sweet-and-savory fairy-tale skit, an absurd diary about how a gay guy gets "turned" by a sweet girl into a question mark of a life.
It's also a love battle so sweet it gives you cavities, and a heartwarming day-to-day story about how a gloomy artist gets flirted into becoming a "flexibly employed bisexual" by a cream puff cake.
The sweet girl's magic is invincible, and the gay soul's defenses have fallen.
The wheel of love has completely crashed
Lu Wan: Help, I need to give up sweets.
Qin Guo: Give me up? Not a chance!
Lu Wan: I'm as gay as a joke.
Qin Guo: Then I'm a guaranteed box-office hit!

[Content Warnings]
The male lead has had relationships with men before. They were normal relationships, and he used to be a bottom.
The novel's plot is fictional. Protect yourself in real life.
The male lead is a good person, but gay men who deceive women into sham marriages in real life are not.
Do not do anything foolish that might make you a "gay man's wife."
Surely no one would confuse fiction with reality, right? Right? Right?
[Statement, 2025.05.08: None of the characters in this story are based on real people! Please do not maliciously misrepresent this work on social media or spread baseless rumors that the author is a dream girl for the bottom character in a danmei novel, that she loves another character but cannot have him, that she supports women deceived into sham marriages with gay men, or that she wants to become such a wife. These are all bizarre claims!
The pairing in this story has always been Lu Wan x Qin Guo. Do not break up this couple. There is no such thing as the author being a dream girl for anyone. Please respect original works and do not treat the leads as skins for other fictional characters.
If you spread rumors that I'm a dream girl for a danmei bottom, I really will start to suspect you have that tendency yourself. Otherwise, how could you come up with such an outrageous idea? (I'm sure you wouldn't like being accused of that, so why make up weird rumors about me for no reason?)
The content warnings at the end of the blurb have been clearly stated since this novel began serialization. The author has always despised gay men who deceive women into sham marriages in real life, and this is made clear in the story as well.
Fiction has nothing to do with reality. Do not project yourself onto it, and do not make personal attacks.]
Theme: Accept yourself and live positively.
I'm shocked that you are like this, Tangtang. Hahahahahaha (I just watched the beginning and felt this)
Meow meow meow thank you madam for the meal
It's beautiful. I've recently been obsessed with the straightening setting. I like it very much.
Hahahahahahaha I read the heroine's name subconsciously when I read it as qinguo, because the person I know whose surname is Qin pronounced it like this, but in the text I read it as tan [covering my face and laughing]
I finished reading it in one go, it's so sweet and beautiful. Although I wanted to have a baby but couldn't, my little regret will be healed by the sweet days between the two of them.
Protecting the love of young lovers (standing guard)
