Li Hang, a college senior, wraps an arm around his roommate Song Wei and announces to his family: "I'm coming out. This is my new boyfriend!"
His father: "Oh."
Li Hang hugs Song Wei and bursts into tears. "That old man has no heart! I'm going to rebel, start dating young, and run away from home!"
Song Wei, busy interning everywhere to build up his resume: "Oh."
After graduating, rich kid Li Hang goes abroad for further study, while Song Wei gives it everything he's got to land a job at a well-known law firm, where he becomes an overworked corporate drone.
He keeps thinking that the firm's partner, Shi Xingyu, looks oddly familiar. The thick, slightly wavy hair, the deep, cool brown eyes, the decisive way he never takes no for an answer, the effortless grace in every gesture...
Could this be love at first sight?
What's more, on the first day of the interview, the moment Director Shi sees his resume, he smiles and handpicks him as his assistant. He also pays him a level of attention that goes beyond what a typical intern lawyer receives.
Could it be love at first sight for both of them?
Song Wei, who has never been in love, makes a bold guess and carefully seeks confirmation. Under the influence of the mistaken assumption that a neighbor is a thief, he finally "confirms" it step by step.
He decides to make the first move!
When they work late into the night in the depths of winter after meetings with shareholders, he prepares a warm jar of porridge for Shi Xingyu, who has a weak stomach. When they survey a site under the blazing summer sun, he sneaks a red bean ice cream bar to the senior lawyer who secretly loves sweets.
He takes him home after he gets drunk at a business dinner, stays up all night sorting through a foot-high stack of evidence, spends a full day and night flying to retrieve urgently needed bank statements, and uses every holiday to organize case files and write appeals...
Hard work pays off. Five years later, Song Wei becomes a renowned senior lawyer at the firm...
And wins his handsome boss's heart.
Li Hang, a troublemaking friend who's returned home after soaking up all that foreign education, runs into Song Wei by chance.
Holy crap! Isn't the man you're holding my dad?
Looking at his old friend with those familiar features, Song Wei says, "No wonder I always thought my husband's face looked familiar..."
We called each other Dad in our college dorm, and you actually became my "dad"?!
Shi Xingyu has never been married. He and Li Hang are father and son in name, but uncle and nephew in reality.
The top is eighteen years older than the bottom. The bottom initially pays attention to the top because he's his nephew's "ex-boyfriend." After struggling with his feelings and using subtle questions to understand what really happened between the top and his nephew, he finally accepts the top.
