The title and blurb may change, but the central premise will stay the same.
Qi Yuecheng grew up all alone and only learned at eighteen that he was the real young master of a wealthy family, lost to them years ago. He packed up and was sent home, but no one there welcomed him.
His father looked down on him, his older brother hated him, and the rich kids bullied him.
People looked at him with indifference, contempt, and malicious superiority.
But one person was different. That person treated him well at any cost and smiled at him.
For the sake of that smile, Qi Yuecheng changed his sexual orientation and personality, awkwardly trying to please someone for the first time.
He thought they were saving each other.
Until one day, he clearly heard the person inside the room laughing and teasing.
He heard that person describe him as "cheap, easy to get, and just a plaything."
He froze in the doorway.
So all that love had been nothing but a foolish daydream.
So fortune had never been on his side.
The moment Qi Yuecheng turned to leave, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his mind:
[Ding! A qualified Host has been detected. Would you like to extract your emotions and reach the pinnacle of life? Our motto: The wise stay out of love and build a beautiful China!]
The mechanical voice rang in his mind for the entire night. By dawn, Qi Yuecheng thought of everyone who wanted nothing to do with him and agreed.
The next second, he clearly felt that something inside him had disappeared.
Jin Shao had always thought Qi Yuecheng was a gullible idiot who was easy to get. Apart from being good-looking, he had nothing going for him. He was stubborn and hard-headed, the sort of person who made you want to hit him. If Jin Shao hadn't had a bet riding on it, he would have dumped him long ago.
Then, on his birthday, he opened the door and saw Qi Yuecheng standing outside, having overheard the truth.
Unexpectedly, Qi Yuecheng didn't make a scene.
He only looked at Jin Shao in silence.
For the first time, Jin Shao saw that stubborn rock of a man wear such a weary, wounded expression.
He froze on the spot.
Later, when Jin Shao finally understood his own feelings and went mad trying to win back the stubborn rock he had once looked down on, he realized there was no longer any trace of himself in Qi Yuecheng's eyes.
Even when he spent a fortune, came out to his family, got himself hospitalized in a desperate bid to make Qi Yuecheng soften, and nearly fell to his knees begging, Qi Yuecheng's feelings remained unchanged.
He also realized he wasn't the only one who regretted what had happened.
