The beautiful neighbor next door's cat has pooped on the balcony again.
The third time Song Yihe returns the cat, all he catches sight of is the neighbor's pale arm reaching out to take it, along with long, slender fingers.
Oh well. The cat is cute, and he gets to pet it every time, so he won't hold it against the neighbor.
Song Yihe is a modern-day believer in neither dating nor marriage. Romance is more fun to watch than to experience, and other people's couples are the best ones to ship.
His life motto: A wise man never falls in love.
Song Yihe's parents are getting anxious. After he makes a perfunctory declaration that he's gay, they somehow pull strings to set him up with a handsome, wealthy, eligible man and insist he give it a try.
At first, Song Yihe thinks: It's a fake coming-out anyway. I'll make a friend. We'll just be bros.
But this eligible man isn't just handsome and wealthy, he's also incredibly good at flirting.
Good-morning and good-night messages when Song Yihe wakes up and goes to bed, cold medicine when the seasons change, nourishing soup when he's working overtime...
The man treats him like the one he loves, pursuing and pampering him until even an iron-blooded straight man like Song Yihe is left swooning.
Gradually, Song Yihe can't take it anymore. His life motto crumbles, and he falls in love, starting an online relationship with a man he's never even met.
His messages are enticing without being cheesy, his voice is gentle and natural, and his clean-cut figure from behind is brimming with boyfriend appeal...
Song Yihe thinks that maybe being single isn't all that great after all. Love really is intoxicating!
One day, by chance, Song Yihe runs into the director from a partner company on his way home from work. As they chat, they end up in the same residential compound, in the same building.
When he sees the director's pale, slender fingers calmly unlock the door next door, something finally clicks in Song Yihe's mind.
So the beautiful neighbor next door... is a man?!
That night, the "beautiful" neighbor barges into Song Yihe's home, carrying the cat Song Yihe has petted countless times. The neighbor's silhouette stands on the balcony, bathed in light and shadow. Song Yihe looks up, and the nerve that had just connected snaps with a pop
Why does the "beautiful" neighbor, who is also the director from the partner company, look so familiar?...
