After being cheated on for the third time, the young Master Ye, Ye Chengxuan, was completely fed up.
He couldn't understand it. He had money, looks, and fame, so why couldn't he find a relationship that went the way he wanted?
His closest friend, a terrible influence, said breezily, "That's because you have bad taste in men. If you want a relationship, you need to find a truly outstanding man."
So here's the question: of the countless men in the world, who is truly outstanding?
Ye Chengxuan had no answer. Neither did his terrible friend.
Then one day, while browsing his own fan forum, Ye Chengxuan happened to notice an eye-catching title: "The Perfect Bodyguard and His Actor's Beloved."
His dear fan had used him and the bodyguard who had been by his side for seven years as the inspiration for tens of thousands of words of a sweet, devoted fanfic full of twists and turns.
Ye Chengxuan read it with his heart racing and his cheekbones rising. Just as he was about to keep reading, the fan suddenly left a comment: "Sorry for being off topic, I'll delete this right away." The page vanished in an instant...
Ye Chengxuan sat expressionless for a while, then suddenly turned his head and looked at Pei Ze, who was sleeping in the same room.
On the table was a peeled orange, its white pith painstakingly removed. A cup of milk sat on the bedside table, kept warm in a temperature-controlled mug. He had made no more than a tiny rustling sound, yet Pei Ze woke up at once and asked with concern, "What's wrong, Young Master?"
A truly outstanding man?
Ye Chengxuan looked at his bodyguard's sharply defined features and remembered the novel he'd only gotten halfway through.
"Pei Ze," Ye Chengxuan said, pressing his lips together. "Would you help me with anything I wanted to do?"
Pei Ze nodded solemnly, his eyes full of determination.
Ye Chengxuan looked into his eyes. "Date me."
Pei Ze: "?"
No taking advantage of me, thanks. I'll sell my skills, not my body.

One year later.
In a rush to get to a shoot, Ye Chengxuan frantically smeared concealer over his neck. "Pei Ze, are you a damn dog?!"
"Young Master." Pei Ze took the concealer from his hand, a tender smile in his eyes. His fingers brushed slowly over Ye Chengxuan's neck as he traced his features with his gaze.
"Your makeup, your styling, and your life from now on..."
"You can leave everything to me."
The little fox had lured in several scumbags, but never expected to fall for the first devoted dog he tried to win over.
Only when his back was sore and his legs were weak did he realize:
The one he'd lured wasn't a devoted dog. It was a wolf that had coveted him for years.
