[A Real-Life Guide to Saving a Psychopath] [Homophobia Means You're Deep in the Closet] (Half-price VIP chapters 34-62)
A well-behaved-looking transfer student arrives at the county's No. 1 High School. He's a good student with a good temper, but for some reason, he keeps getting mixed up with the school's troublemakers.
On Xu Mo's first day at the school, a few curly-haired delinquents corner him in the corridor. He's trying to figure out how to talk his way out of it when someone with a hideous scar around his neck walks up behind him.
"Get lost."
Li Chen sends the curly-haired punks running with one word, then takes Xu Mo, who is slender and sweet-faced, back to class.
But after spending more time together, Li Chen realizes Xu Mo is a full-blown psychopath.
Xu Mo can scare the punks who come looking for trouble into cowering in a corner with nothing but a brick. He can beat up the gang leader who ambushes people in the middle of the night with his bare fists until the guy questions his life choices. He can even pin the senior class's top tough guy against a wall by the neck...
Word that the new student is crazier than a lunatic gradually spreads throughout the school.
One day, someone crosses Xu Mo's line. With a grim look on his face, he grabs a flowerpot from the windowsill, his expression blank but his movements ruthless.
Everyone thinks they're done for.
Then they see Li Chen, who is always short-tempered and would rather throw a punch than say a word, standing in front of Xu Mo and threatening him viciously.
"If you make trouble again, I'm not going to be your friend anymore!"
Everyone: What kind of joke is this?
Xu Mo: ...
He obediently puts the flowerpot down and pouts reluctantly. "Then we're friends now."

Later, a rumor spreads around school: The transfer student and the school bully are gay. They eat together, live together, and even sleep together...
Important: 1. No romance before they come of age. 2. Both leads have psychological trauma. 3. A top student with insane fighting skills as the bottom VS a hot-tempered, rough-and-tumble top.
--Pre-release: Over-the-Hill CP Goes Viral--
Yao Zhou was blacklisted by a lousy agency for three years. Then he lost a lawsuit and was ordered to pay 50 million in breach-of-contract damages.
He couldn't pay that back in ten lifetimes of work.
Just when he was desperate, he ran into his once-scummy ex, a top-tier star.
The man shoved a marriage contract at him. The contract was worth 50 million.
Yao Zhou: Even if he wants to play S&M, I'm in.
Yao Zhou prepares himself for physical and emotional torment, but reality turns out to be completely different from what he expected.
*
Huo Yiwen takes him to an industry event and makes him stand off to the side.
"Stay here. Don't move around."
Yao Zhou stands there, feeling aggrieved, and devours the free snacks.
Three hours later, Huo Yiwen says sarcastically, "Why aren't you sitting down? Can't you see the chairs?"
Yao Zhou forces a smile: Damn it, I'll just have to swallow my pride.
*
Huo Yiwen is filming and gives him a minor role as the male lead's (Huo Yiwen's) sidekick.
"Do a good job. Don't make me look bad."
Yao Zhou swallows his pride and plays the perfect lackey, both on and off camera.
After filming wraps, Huo Yiwen gives him a cold look. "I was talking to my assistant. I didn't ask you to bring me a glass of water."
Yao Zhou swallows his pride: Damn, damn, damn! It's all for the money!
*
Yao Zhou puts up with it again and again, planning to cut all ties with Huo Yiwen after a year.
But...
There are actually weird fans shipping him and Huo Yiwen as an over-the-hill couple!
When Huo Yiwen makes him stand for three hours.
CP fans: Zhouzhou is so adorable. He didn't even know to find somewhere to sit! No wonder Brother Huo couldn't focus while talking to that famous director!
When Huo Yiwen orders him around.
CP fans: Zhouzhou is so obedient. What a perfect wife! No wonder Brother Huo has to keep him by his side even while filming!
The over-the-hill CP "A Little Boat on the River" gradually becomes a popular ship!
Yao Zhou: My eyes are always filled with tears.
*
As time goes by, Yao Zhou reasonably suspects that Huo Yiwen's marketing team is behind all this. Huo Yiwen wants to use him to gain fans, then clean up his image and turn casual followers into devoted fans! He wants to squeeze every last bit of value out of him! 50 million yuan in exchange for 50 million fans!
Yao Zhou: What a cruel man!
Yao Zhou sneers at Huo Yiwen's despicable behavior, and as soon as their one-year agreement is up, he makes a run for it!
But he gets caught on the very day he tries to leave.
The man pins him against the wall and kisses him hard, gripping his neck.
Yao Zhou is kissed into a daze. He sees Huo Yiwen pull off his tie with a cold expression.
"I've been pursuing you for a whole year, and this is how you repay me?"
"Looks like I've been too nice to you."
"We've been married for so long. It's time we did what married couples are supposed to do."
Yao Zhou: !!!

Xu Mo: Homophobic? Baby, I can't cure you?
Straight man = always likes men
I have confirmed my memories. He is the only paper person I have ever seen who has diarrhea.
"The straight man who only allows himself to make trouble with his male classmates and does not allow others to join in the fun"
"The straight man who loves to pat his brother's butt"
Are they really Li He and Wei Zehong??
I guessed it when Li He drove away that Han in the Wei family.
Is the supporting character's IQ off the line? Momo was holding black clothes and not wearing any. How can I be sure that it was the protagonist who did it? I feel so frustrated. Why is the whole world persecuting Momo and causing trouble every day? . .
I'm back from my high school break, even though it's only for two days.
Yi Xin's thoughts exposed me?
