A Straight Man Becomes Everyone's Favorite on a BL Dating Show

Desperate for money, Shen Xian signs up for a new reality show similar to The Traitors. Its ridiculous title is Ten Men, Nine Are Gay: Who's the Straight One? As the title suggests, among the ten guests, each with a distinct personality, including an icy CEO, a world-weary painter, a gentle professor, a househusband type, and a puppy-like guy, nine are gay and one is a closeted straight man. Shen Xian is the "straight-man mole" hiding among them. The rules are simple. If the straight man survives seven rounds of voting without being eliminated, he wins a million yuan. Otherwise, if the gay contestants identify him, the prize money goes to the gay contestants still in the game, and the straight man gets nothing. Shen Xian thinks, How hard can it be to pretend to be gay? For a million yuan, I'm in! He asks a friend what gay guys are like and memorizes the answer. From then on, he keeps everything spotless, from his room to himself; takes care of his appearance, works out, and dresses impeccably; pays close attention to detail, noticing the little things others miss; and can do everything from lifting weights and boxing to cooking up delicious meals... Fully prepared and brimming with confidence, Shen Xian dives in, perfectly inhabiting his gay persona. But who could have told him there was a risk of ending up in a love triangle while pretending to be gay?! After being confessed to one after another, the "straight-man mole" Shen Xian returns in a daze, exhausted in body and mind. Then he discovers that the aloof CEO has melted only for him, the gloomy, dejected painter has secretly filled an entire sketchbook with drawings of him, and the cool, detached star dancer has performed a dance for him beneath the moon... In the end, the show wraps up with the straight man winning. The other guests can't believe it, insisting it must be impossible and accusing the production team of having Shen Xian pretend to be straight for the sake of the show. Shen Xian: ...But I really am straight! The good news: He did a great job pretending to be gay. The bad news: Maybe he did too good a job. A quick guide: 1.
