Two years ago, Cheng Luo had a secret relationship. His ex came from a prestigious family, was aloof and abstinent, and never unbuttoned his collar past the top button.

Then, on their anniversary, Cheng Luo woke up to clothes scattered across the floor and remembered getting his lover drunk. He was too scared to even bring up breaking up, so he fled in a panic.

Two years later, a livestream variety show invited him to join. There he met the show's surprise guest: Pei Yu, a wealthy movie star whom fans called the entertainment industry's famous iceberg.

Looking at his ex's chillingly stern expression, Cheng Luo realized one thing:

He was done for. This show was about to become his final work.

When the show began, no one paid any attention to Cheng Luo, an obscure actor whose name nobody knew.

But on the show:

While cooking in the kitchen, Cheng Luo casually leaned closer to the camera.

On a rainy night, his porcelain-pale cheeks were dotted with raindrops, making him look like a ragdoll cat caught in a storm.

In a mountain village on a winter night, he curled up in the cold like a salted fish.

The comments went wild:

[Ahhh, he looks like a kitty!]

[He's so beautiful, it hurts!]

[The way he flirts without realizing it is lethal.]

[So, friends, have you noticed that even the great Movie Star Pei, this iceberg that's been frozen for ten thousand years, seems to be thawing??]

Pei Yu had always thought that even if he saw the person who had flirted with him and then run away again, he wouldn't feel a thing.

That was, until Cheng Luo went around pitifully asking everyone for a hot-water bottle to keep warm.

Pei Yu's expression stiffened. "...Got it."

When the show ended, it became more popular than ever. Cheng Luo gained ten million followers, and the whole internet begged for them to become a real couple.

Cheng Luo, still completely in the dark: ? My final work turned out pretty great.

Long after the show ended, the couple's popularity still hadn't faded, and various related topics kept taking turns trending.

The rival who had once used Cheng Luo to climb the ladder bought a pile of smear campaigns. Haters went wild online, and paparazzi surrounded the airport. Then they saw the aloof, icy man, as remote as a flower on a mountain peak, pull Cheng Luo into his arms in front of everyone just as he was about to board, and murmur something ambiguous:

"Where are you planning to run off to this time?"

An abstinent type turned into a sharp-tongued king always ready to take things further, who can't say no to his lover x a beautiful, world-weary kitty who flirts without realizing it

1. HE, 1v1, romance-focused, a super-sweet story.

2. No love triangle, no secondary couples. The variety-show plot serves the romance.

Everyone at Changsheng Group says that the new R&D consultant, Gu Yin, is a textbook case of an aloof, abstinent beauty. He spends every day in the lab, keeps everyone at arm's length, and seems to have severe emotional detachment.

What torments Gu Yin, however, is that when night falls and all is quiet, he suffers from an intense craving for physical contact.

He endured it for years, until one night his boss and colleagues, who had long resented his lofty attitude, tricked him into going to a bar. Unable to hold his liquor, he stumbled into a man's arms.

Then he slept more soundly than he had in years. When he woke up and saw the ceiling of an unfamiliar apartment and the young man beside him with a perfect eight-pack, he fell silent.

Lin Ran opened his QR code. "Want to be friends?"

Gu Yin hesitated for a moment, added him as a friend, and opened the transfer page. After thinking it over, he asked, "...What's the going rate?"

Lin Ran: "?"

Gu Yin: "...Sorry, I don't have much experience."

Realizing he'd been mistaken for some kind of hired escort, Lin Ran gritted his back teeth and smiled. "First time's free."

.

Lin Ran had been thinking about someone for a long time.

Then one night at a bar, that cool, aloof man stumbled into his arms.

The night was downright dramatic. The other man clung to him like a koala and slept soundly all night. The next day, for no apparent reason, Lin Ran became his "client."

From then on, the business world in Haishi couldn't understand why the well-bred, rebellious young master Lin of Changsheng Group had suddenly changed. He dyed his hair black, gave up his motorcycle, and would leave a party the moment he glanced at his phone, even taking off all his designer clothes before he went and changing into cheap ones.

He was really good at playing the poor, pitiful victim.

.

Gu Yin slept well and felt great, and his research progressed quickly, so his income was quite good. Most of it went to the "sleeping companion" whose circumstances were so tragic and finances so tight.

Just after the project was announced as a success, Gu Yin, who had offended many people by refusing to compromise, became expendable. Rumors spread that the executives planned to send him packing, back to wherever he'd come from.

On the first day the group's new president arrived, Gu Yin decided to submit his resignation.

He knocked on the president's office door, stopped in his tracks, and looked at the young new president behind the large, cold desk.

His first thought: So that's what he looks like with his clothes on.

His second thought: He'd been pretending to be poor for a year. Did that count as fraud?

Lin Ran stepped closer and handed the resignation back to him.

"The group can't do without Dr. Gu."

On the blank part of the resignation, he wrote the address and front-door passcode of a certain villa.

"And I can't do without my sugar daddy, either."

#You still dare to say sugar daddy? #

#The green tea top's charm is impossible to resist#

A scheming, sweet-talking top with a hidden dark side x a world-weary, cool beauty bottom. Younger top, client becomes lover.

1. 1v1, both are each other's first love. Don't ask why, that's just how it is.

2. The top has been plotting this for ages; the bottom falls in love over time (?)

3. HE
