Tech mogul Lu Xingyi's plane crashes, leaving him stranded on a deserted island. He uses a translator to pass himself off as a high priest, and happens to rescue a gorgeous hunk who was nearly sacrificed to the River God.
The excuse he makes for saving him is rather rushed: "He's my bride. He can't marry the River God!"
So the gorgeous hunk has no choice but to grit his teeth and marry him.
Months later, after they'd thoroughly disgraced themselves and done every possible ♂ thing in a primitive tribe with fierce customs, a rescue team finally brought them back to modern society.
Both were tacitly determined to bury their embarrassing past, so they parted amicably without exchanging contact details.
Lu Xingyi went home in high spirits. That night, alone in bed, he tossed and turned, only belatedly realizing he was depressed.
Elsewhere, Boss Feng, just as depressed, told his bad-news friend about their island adventure: I never liked men anyway. It was probably just the suspension bridge effect. I'll get over it soon.
His friend nodded sagely. Right. Once he runs off with someone else, you'll be able to get over him for good.
Feng Yan (darkly): ...
Friend (holding back a laugh): What? Isn't that exactly what you want? Why the face?
On the day of the bidding meeting, before dawn, Lu Xingyi opened the door with his hair in a mess and was tackled into a hug by a drunken Feng Yan.
Lu Xingyi: ???
Did my human sleeping aid just deliver himself to my door?
Lu Xingyi reasoned with himself: I can't exactly dump a drunk on the street. So he happily went to bed with him.
The next morning, his rival bidder, a scheming childhood friend, and his ex-boyfriend came by under false pretenses, trying to fish for information about his relationship with the wealthy backer.
In a panic, Lu Xingyi stuffed said backer into the wardrobe.
Boss Feng: ??? (Am I really that embarrassing to be seen with?!)
Fifteen minutes later, after seeing off the enemy, Lu Xingyi opened the wardrobe, looking a little guilty. So, um, what do you want for lunch?
Feng Yan (icy): Nothing. I'll starve.
Lu Xingyi: ... (Are you in elementary school?!)
Lu Xingyi rallied and tried to appease him: Actually, there's something I want to discuss with you. Could you... pretend you don't know me?
Feng Yan: ...
An hour later.
Feng Yan (looking down at him from point-blank range): We don't know each other?
Lu Xingyi (bottom) x Feng Yan (top)
A sharp-tongued little chili pepper in public and a sweet little cake in private, a bottom who reads messages and replies at random x A domineering CEO in public and a total dog in private, a Schrodinger's straight top
