The unruly, sharp-tongued, secretly soft-hearted wolf-dog of a campus heartthrob gong x the beautiful professor shou who wears hearing aids and is cold on the outside, warm on the inside He Jing is a professor at Huada, famous for his asceticism and untouchable charm. No one has ever seen him dating anyone. Qin Yuzhen is the campus heartthrob at Shangda, famous for doting on his older sister. It's said that the last guy who tried to pursue her was beaten black and blue by him until he learned his lesson. To repay a favor, He Jing pretends to date Qin Yuzhen's older sister, Qin Yi. They're both gay, and the arrangement works out perfectly. Qin Yuzhen and He Jing have never gotten along. They haven't had much to do with each other over the years, and have always kept out of each other's way. Then someone takes a photo of He Jing and Qin Yi together, looking closer than ever. No one knows when they started dating. Now that really was a huge mess! After He Jing's date with Qin Yi, Qin Yuzhen corners him on the bus ride home. Leaning close to his ear, Qin Yuzhen asks menacingly, "I hear you want to be my brother-in-law?" * To make them break up, Qin Yuzhen goes undercover, infiltrates their inner circle, and tries every means he can think of to quietly undermine their relationship. At first, he threatens He Jing viciously: "Want to be my brother-in-law? Don't even think about it." Later, Qin Yuzhen finds himself coming around: "Actually, He Jing's a pretty good guy." Later still, the plan falls apart before he can even get halfway through it. He realizes that the man who's always gotten the better of him since childhood isn't as strong as he'd imagined.

Meanwhile, the fake relationship comes to an end, and he breaks up with Qin Yi. Luckily, the stomach cancer diagnosis turns out to be a doctor's mistake, and the fake relationship never involved any real feelings. He thinks that now that they've broken up, Qin Yuzhen, having achieved his goal, will disappear from his life. But some fool thinks he's been hit by the double blow of a breakup and a terminal illness. From then on, he acts like a completely different person, checking on He Jing every day and looking after him in every possible way. When He Jing goes to the hospital for a follow-up, Qin Yuzhen gazes at him with utmost seriousness and vows, "Don't be afraid. I'll stay by your side until you recover." He Jing: ?
