That night, Zhou Zhiyu went to catch his partner cheating. He'd been through this several times and knew the drill. But he never expected to wake up the next morning in someone else's bed.

The man said his name was Fan Yanxi.

And, as it happened, the person Zhou Zhiyu was about to marry by contract seemed to have that very same name.

The day Zhou Zhiyu saw Fan Yanxi appear as a guest on a chaotic dating show, the snacks in his hand fell to the floor with a thud.

A livestream after the dating show had ended.

Zhou Zhiyu read a comment aloud, word by word: "Why is Mr. Fan wearing a full suit in weather this hot...?"

After reading it, he smiled and gently bumped his shoulder against the person beside him, looking quite intimate.

"Mr. Fan, tell me, why wear a suit when it's this hot?"

Fan Yanxi's answer was brief.

"Someone likes it."

Only then did Zhou Zhiyu turn back around, sighing in a show of mock resignation. "Sigh, I like it."

[This is so sweet I'm dying!!!]

[Let me ship them just a little more. Sigh, why is there sweetness everywhere? Sigh, can't help it, I'm just that lucky. Sigh, sometimes once you get hooked, you're hooked for life. Sigh, official sugar! Sigh, I'm devouring it! Sigh, sigh, sigh!]

1. Marriage first, love later. One true pairing, happy ending. A very polite young master bottom (Zhou Zhiyu) x a clean-loving husband top (Fan Yanxi). Older top, six-year age gap, both are handsome.

2. An amateur dating show. The author doesn't follow celebrities and doesn't know any. The main or supporting characters have no connection to real-life celebrities. Don't project real people onto them, don't project real people onto them, don't project real people onto them.

3. The top and bottom are exclusive, with no switching or breakup. No self-insert fantasies or face-swapping. I wrote these two to fall in love; they're a perfect match, and even in death, I'll mix their ashes together. I will not accept any kind of writing advice.

4. Thanks to @Green Pea Shrimp Cake for the cover background.
