Ke Zhihang has two loves in life: acting and collecting muscular hunks.
Watching muscular hunks get worked up beneath him makes Ke Zhihang feel fantastic!
Recently, his agent set him up with a new personal trainer to help him stay in shape.
The moment Ke Zhihang saw Yang Peng, he knew the man was exactly his type.
Damn, those pecs! Those abs! And that cool, composed air of Yang Peng's had Ke Zhihang's heart pounding.
Unfortunately, no matter what tricks Ke Zhihang tried, whether tempting him with money or seducing him, this straight man remained unmoved.
As Ke Zhihang racked his brains trying to figure out how to win Yang Peng over, he discovered that Yang Peng wasn't straight at all, and had been carrying a torch for his childhood friend for over a decade.
As luck would have it, that childhood friend had apparently just turned him down.
Ke Zhihang watched Yang Peng, looking dejected and drinking alone at a bar, excitedly ordered a strong drink with something added to it, and stared as Yang Peng downed it.
Tonight, he'd finally get what he wanted!
Good news: He got what he wanted.
Bad news: He was the one who got topped!
Clutching his sore backside, Ke Zhihang gritted his teeth and cursed, "Damn you, Yang Peng! If I don't top you, I'll never call myself Ke!"
After that, perhaps out of guilt, Yang Peng catered to his every whim, taking care of him and even becoming his assistant. He kept Ke Zhihang very happy.
Ke Zhihang felt that this... actually wasn't bad.
Except his butt often hurt.
Then Ke Zhihang joined a dating show featuring older women and younger men, and Yang Peng's childhood friend was one of the guests.
When Ke Zhihang saw Yang Peng staring off at his childhood friend, he saw red.
To hell with Yang Peng! He was going to order ten muscular hunks and reclaim his virility.
But after ordering the musclemen, Ke Zhihang lost interest. Yang Peng kicked open the door to Ke Zhihang's place, his face livid, looking like he'd caught him in the act, and advanced on him step by step.
Content warnings: 1. The bottom has had previous partners; the top has not.
2. The top has a childhood friend he believes he's been in love with for over a decade, but what he feels for him is more like familial devotion.
