Yan Zhixing is a well-known travel blogger. One day, a friend in the entertainment industry suddenly drags him onto a variety show featuring celebrities and kids.

He doesn't want to go, but his friend begs him over and over, so he agrees to film one season.

As it turns out, he's paired with award-winning actor Gu Haoting.

When viewers hear about it, they all start teasing them.

[Can a travel and entertainment blogger like Yan Zhixing really go on a variety show?]

[Why pair Actor Gu with someone from outside the industry?]

Yan Zhixing couldn't care less about online gossip. He just wants to be a nobody on the show and leave as soon as filming is over.

But from the moment filming starts, things get out of hand.

At bedtime, the little kid says, "Can both uncles stay and sleep with me? My two dads always sleep with me at home."

At mealtime, the kid pushes the steak Gu Haoting has just cut up and handed him over to Yan Zhixing.

As time goes by, Yan Zhixing can clearly tell that Actor Gu is taking better and better care of him.

Yan Zhixing doesn't want to owe anyone a favor, and often helps Gu Haoting out when their challenges get tough.

He even saves Gu Haoting when an accident happens during a hot-air balloon ride.

Just as everyone is impressed by Yan Zhixing's rescue, someone digs up another identity of his.

[Breaking! Travel blogger Yan Zhixing is actually the extreme sports legend who disappeared for a long time!]

-

When filming for the first season is almost over, Gu Haoting takes the kid out and spends the whole day bribing him. "Cry, throw a tantrum, whatever it takes, just make him stay."

Unable to bear his friend's kid crying and making a fuss, Yan Zhixing agrees to renew his contract.

As soon as the second season begins, viewers notice something is off between the two men.

Actor Gu's eyes are always fixed on Yan Zhixing, and he keeps finding excuses to get close to him.

[Why is Actor Gu playing the scheming tea-drinker now? Is this something the production crew planned?]

[I'm dying. Actor Gu isn't here to take care of the kid. He's clearly here to take care of the gorgeous Yan.]

-

After the show ends, Gu Haoting finds Yan Zhixing and asks pitifully, "I have a family inheritance to fight for. Can you help me?"

Yan Zhixing: "?"

Though startled, Yan Zhixing still asks worriedly, "How?"

Gu Haoting asks cautiously, "Could you... secretly marry me?"

Just when Gu Haoting thinks he's overdoing the act, the man across from him slowly says, "Sure."

-

One day, a crowd of CP fans rush into Yan Zhixing's livestream and complain, "See? As soon as filming ended, he stopped caring whether our Actor Gu lives or dies."

But the next second, the cat at home accidentally knocks a wedding photo off the wall...

The livestream explodes, and the news is trending the very same day.

As Yan Zhixing becomes a huge sensation once again, someone spreads a rumor online.

[These are photos of Yan Zhixing meeting a rich big shot in secret a few days ago. He's with the actor to get attention and traffic. This is a sham marriage!]

Yan Zhixing posts a direct response: "That's my brother."

Gu Haoting immediately replies, "Sorry, I'm the one who tricked him into marrying me."

Yan Zhixing: "???"

Viewers: "?"

Free-spirited, chivalrous extreme sports legend, hopeless at love x calculating, sly old fox of an actor

Setting: Same-sex marriage is legal.

No characters are based on real people. Everything happens for the sake of the story, so please don't compare it to reality. Thank you.

Song Xun grew up with Ning Yiran.

Ning Yiran treated him very well. Song Xun was sick and frail, and Ning Yiran granted nearly every request he made.

It was only natural that Song Xun would fall for someone like Ning Yiran.

He planned to keep his feelings hidden for the rest of his life, but an accident led him to lose control and kiss Ning Yiran.

After that, Ning Yiran started avoiding him at every turn.

Song Xun didn't want to make Ning Yiran uncomfortable, so he quietly disappeared from his sight.

Later, when someone tried to comfort him by calling Ning Yiran blind, Song Xun only gazed tenderly at the sunlight and said, "He's wonderful. He just doesn't like me."

One night after they reunite, Ning Yiran corners Song Xun at the door.

He gently grips Song Xun's wrist, his voice full of hurt. "Song Xun, you're so unfair. You ran away without even giving me time to react. How can you say I don't like you?"

When Ning Yiran was ten, his uncle brought home a pitiful, sick child who had been abandoned at the hospital.

From then on, that frail little thing became the center of his life.

He treasured Song Xun, but accidentally discovered that Song Xun was in love with him.

Ning Yiran panicked and didn't know what to do, so he avoided him for two days.

Just then, his uncle found a doctor overseas who could treat Song Xun's illness. But when Ning Yiran hurried home with the good news, his treasure was gone.
