Song Tinghe has a cute, pretty face, but he's a bona fide straight man.
The only out-of-the-ordinary thing he's ever done was have a brief online relationship because everyone else was doing it. When he nearly got caught by his family, he immediately blocked the other person and deleted his account.
With the job market in dire straits, he turns to livestreaming to make a living.
During a livestream PK, the person on the other side keeps provoking him and picking fights. In a panic, Song Tinghe claims he's Pei Langxing's beloved, irreplaceable first love. Pei Langxing is the head of Binhai Group, which leads the Big Three in Binhai City. If the other person wants to mess with him, they'd better think carefully about whether they can handle Binhai Group's retaliation.
Knowing he can't afford to offend him, the other person sheepishly logs off.
After discovering that a little flirtatious banter brings in viewers, Song Tinghe's livestreaming career goes much more smoothly.
At the livestreaming platform's anniversary gala, Song Tinghe is invited to attend, only to discover that Pei Langxing is there too, representing Binhai Group.
He nervously shrinks into a corner, praying that no one will expose him.
But some people just love to stir up trouble. Song Tinghe lets his guard down for a moment and gets pushed right next to President Pei.
"President Pei, Tinghe heard you were here and came especially to raise a glass to you."
Song Tinghe is suddenly put on the spot and wishes he could sink into the ground. He awkwardly holds his champagne flute in both hands, his voice trembling into a wavering line with fear.
"President Pei, it's been a while. Let me offer you a toast..."
The instigator waits gleefully for Pei Langxing to expose Song Tinghe in public and watch him leave in humiliation. Instead, Pei Langxing glances at Song Tinghe, then reaches out and takes the glass from his hand.
His cool, deep voice follows: "Speak properly. Even my beloved first love isn't allowed to act cute."

A few days later, Binhai Group acquires the livestreaming platform, making Pei Langxing the biggest boss over Song Tinghe.
During a livestreaming event for the platform, Song Tinghe's computer breaks. In a daze, he gets taken to President Pei's office to stream.
He opens the wardrobe in the executive lounge and finds it full of pretty little dresses.
Pei Langxing appears behind him at some point, his presence so hot it's almost frightening.
"Baby, you once told me you liked wearing dresses, but I've never had a chance to get you any all these years."
A distant memory suddenly comes back to Song Tinghe, and he is horrified.
Holy crap, isn't that something he said to his online boyfriend when he was younger?
And what he said was that he liked people who wore dresses, not that he liked wearing dresses himself!
Before he can protest, Pei Langxing wraps his arms tightly around him from behind. His hot breath falls on Song Tinghe's ear, intimate as a lover's whisper.
"Why have you been giving me the cold shoulder all these years? I spent so long looking for you."
