As the secretary to the CEO of a publicly listed group, Wen Yu is a wage slave on the surface and less than a dog in private.
Not only does the CEO order him around nonstop, but the CEO's mother also expects him to arrange blind dates for her son.
Unfortunately, Yan Chenglin is a famously difficult man: a renowned industry bigshot, abstinent and aloof.
What people find most astonishing isn't the legend he's made in the business world or his trillion-yuan fortune. It's that, despite his handsome looks and years of dominating the business scene, he's never had a single scandal.
...No one even knows whether he's straight or gay.
To keep his job, Wen Yu has no choice but to load photos of various beautiful women onto his phone and nervously show them to Yan Chenglin.
"Which one... do you like?"
Yan Chenglin says nothing, merely tapping the screen.
It is a screenshot from a livestream. The young woman smiles sweetly, her waist slim enough to fit in one hand. Beneath her pink Lolita dress, white stockings frame a pair of long, straight legs. She looks just like a girl from a comic.
Wen Yu's face goes pale. What no one around him knows is that he runs a cross-dressing blog in his spare time.
And the one Yan Chenglin has just chosen is a makeup-test photo he carelessly forgot to delete.
Wen Yu makes one last desperate attempt. "...Could you pick someone else? This one's not that pretty, and I don't think her family is very rich either. She really isn't a good match for someone of your status..."
He doesn't get to finish before meeting Yan Chenglin's deep, dark eyes.
Wen Yu: "...I'll arrange it."

Yan Chenglin's cousin has recently become obsessed with scrolling through Douyin, falling for a different streamer every day and recommending them whenever he visits.
Yan Chenglin scoffs at this and is about to ignore him, when he realizes that the streamer on the screen is the blind date he casually picked not long ago.
"Holy crap, why is it a guy?" his cousin cries.
On the screen, Wen Yu has forgotten to turn off the livestream. He has just taken off his makeup, revealing fair skin and a delicate little face, soft and fresh as a peach.
Watching the silly boy fumble to shut off his phone, Yan Chenglin, usually so dignified and self-possessed, can't help the slight curve of his lips.

Wen Yu discovers a big spender in his livestream.
Every day, the guy says nothing, drops a pile of gifts, and promptly logs off.
Before long, he's propelled Wen Yu's stream to the top of the trending list.
Finally, feeling he doesn't deserve all this, Wen Yu opens a chat with the big spender...
Later, Wen Yu learns what it means to walk right into a trap.
[Bonus Scene]
One day, CEO Yan goes on a business trip. Wen Yu eagerly takes out his little suitcase, wanting to greet the fans he hasn't seen in ages on his livestream.
But he never expects Yan Chenglin to finish work early that day...
Wearing a little dress, Wen Yu is bent over on his knees, searching for his stockings, when he looks up and meets Yan Chenglin's dangerous, fierce gaze.
Later, word spreads around the company that Secretary Wen suffered a work-related injury at the CEO's house and couldn't get out of bed for a week.
