In a fit of inspiration-seeking, he impulsively found himself a boyfriend. Before meeting him, Lin An had thought his boyfriend would be just okay. But when they met in person, the young man was handsome and fit, gentle and considerate, and his eyes brimmed with affection for Lin An. He was every bit as captivating as the young stars in the entertainment industry. Most importantly, he was the person Lin An had secretly loved throughout his entire school life. Swayed by the heartbeat he'd felt back in school, Lin An stepped into this fake relationship and secretly made up for the regrets of his youth. The cool detachment he'd always maintained crumbled under Lu Yan's pampering. But one day, after they got drunk and kissed, Lu Yan coaxed him into making their relationship real. Lin An had always been good at distinguishing reality from fantasy, so the next day, he mercilessly decided to return him. When Lu Yan found out he was being returned, he rushed to Lin An's home, cornered him, and gripped his wrist tightly. His voice was dark and restrained as he asked, "Why?" Lin An turned his head away and answered coldly, "I like them clean." Then Lin An's vision blurred, and Lu Yan pinned him to the sofa. Lu Yan spent the whole night trying to explain just how clean he was. [1. The gong's moonlight is the shou.] [2. Mutual pining.] [3. Maybe this is fake showbiz and real romance?] [4.

He thought the lack of sleep was making him hallucinate when he saw a celestial being. The celestial being was a beautiful man, dressed in white and looking refined, his robes slightly disheveled. He stood by the roadside, breathing unsteadily. Lu Zhe admired him for a moment, but before he could even get home, the man grabbed him tightly by the wrist. As Lu Zhe endured the pain, he heard the man's voice, anguished and trembling: "How many more times are you going to leave your master behind?" Lu Zhe: "..." This wasn't a celestial being. It was obviously a patient who'd escaped from some hospital. Later, by some strange twist of fate, Lu Zhe brought Shen Baizhou home. Shen Baizhou was all looks and no practical use, so Lu Zhe reluctantly used him as a model for one of his drawings. Shen Baizhou got hooked. When another modeling session ended, Lu Zhe was busy fixing imperfections, ignoring Shen Baizhou. Dissatisfied, Shen Baizhou hugged him from behind. Meeting Lu Zhe's helpless gaze, Shen Baizhou said with complete confidence, "Today's pay is five minutes of hugs." Lu Zhe, who'd agreed to pay him that way in the first place: "..." He regretted it very much now. - Shen Baizhou had spent his entire life rejecting love and avoiding worldly affairs, but without realizing it, his young disciple Lu Zhe had quietly drawn him into love. Loving without being loved in return, and being abandoned time and again, made him suffer unbearably. He opened his eyes after going mad with demonic cultivation and found himself in the modern world. No spiritual power, no pain from demonic cultivation, and no master-disciple relationship. This time, Lu Zhe didn't leave him. - Theme: When an opportunity is right in front of you, seize it tightly
