Newcomer Shen Fanshen and young Best Actor Chi Jingzhi are tightly paired up by their company to promote a couple image.
During their public appearances, Shen Fanshen notices that Chi Jingzhi often sneaks glances at him, then quickly looks away when caught, pretending nothing happened.
After a while, Shen Fanshen suddenly realizes: He has a crush on me!
After giving it plenty of thought, he accepts Chi Jingzhi's feelings.
But the other man is more timid than he expected, and still hasn't confessed.
So Shen Fanshen pins him against the wall: You like me, so why won't you say it?
Chi Jingzhi's Adam's apple bobs. "Mr. Shen, you've got it wrong..."
Shen Fanshen smiles.
Some scheming tops really know how to flirt.
He lifts his chin and leans in, teasing Chi Jingzhi's jaw with his breath. "Then why are you blushing?"
Chi Jingzhi looks like he's about to suffocate. "Because I'm... homophobic... extremely... Mr. Shen, don't come any closer..."
Shen Fanshen: *%.#^_^=&@...

When a colleague backs out of the company's arranged match, Chi Jingzhi steps in to save the day.
His "marriage alliance" partner is named Shen Fanshen: beautiful, haughty, and irresistible.
Whenever they get physically close, Chi Jingzhi has trouble breathing, and is diagnosed with homophobia.
His symptoms peak when Shen Fanshen pins him against the wall.
As he catches the faint natural scent on the other man's body, a feeling of nervousness unlike anything he's ever experienced fills him from head to toe.
After explaining everything, Shen Fanshen finally lets him off the hook... and stops giving him the time of day.
He should be relieved, so why is his mind still full of Shen Fanshen's smile, Shen Fanshen's flirtation, and why is he dreaming more and more often about getting into bed with Shen Fanshen... Ahem!
Late at night, Chi Jingzhi sits bolt upright.
Now he really can't sleep...
