For the first eighteen years of his life, Tao Ning lived deep in the mountains. He wore old clothes washed until they had faded, and thick, clunky black-framed glasses. When someone complimented his looks and tried to take advantage of him, Tao Ning thought they wanted to be friends.

When the System came to him and told him to pursue three men at once, Tao Ning had just received his acceptance letter to an elite academy.

System: “Just take off your glasses and kiss them. It's not hard, and it won't hurt.”

Tao Ning hesitated. “I... I don't think that's right.”

He'd never even held hands with anyone before. How could he suddenly kiss three people? And they were all men.

With no other choice, Tao Ning went to the city and began pursuing the three men.

The first was a powerful nobleman from a financial dynasty. His family had immense influence, and after spending his youth living on the streets, he had grown ruthless and jealous. Yet he would kiss Tao Ning in a house without a ray of light.

Breathing raggedly, he stroked the corner of Tao Ning's eye with his thumb and hoarsely demanded over and over, “Do you love me?”

Trembling uncontrollably beneath him, Tao Ning answered through his tears, “I do.”

He said he loved him, but then turned around and fell into the arms of his second target: the younger son of the family that had paid for his education. He was immensely wealthy and had a nasty temper.

At their first meeting, the lofty young master had clicked his tongue and looked down at Tao Ning. “Country bumpkin, stay away from me.”

But after catching Tao Ning entangled with someone else, the young master, eyes bloodshot, dragged him into his arms and roared, “Tao Ning is mine! Who the hell are you?!”

The third person confronting him was Tao Ning's final target. He was the famous student council president at the elite academy, rumored to be arrogant and reserved, with a severe case of germophobia. He kept everyone at a distance.

And yet this very aloof man had kissed Tao Ning's fair ankle the night before, his manner reverent, as though cradling the world's most precious treasure.

All three targets thought Tao Ning was an honest, harmless person who wouldn't lead them on. After all, Tao Ning was always so dazed and countrified. He obediently let them kiss him, and when they bullied him until he cried, all he could do was whisper, “Slower... gentler...” He never fought back.

His innocence and naivete drove them mad with desire.

Until all three discovered at the same time: he wasn't an honest man who belonged to only one of them.

Tao Ning was a liar.

Only after he'd been bullied until he couldn't make a sound did Tao Ning finally realize: hadn't they said it wouldn't hurt? But now he couldn't even get out of bed, and there were still two men outside whose gazes seemed ready to devour him.
