[Gentle, nurturing man on the outside, career-minded and struggling top student on the inside, the pursued] vs. [Cold and sharp-tongued on the outside, secretly pure-hearted and hopelessly romantic straight CEO, the pursuer]
A fake straight top student becomes a real straight CEO's contract boyfriend, accidentally turns his boss gay, and then wants to grab his things and run.
*
Jian Xiangxi, a top student at T University, takes a ridiculous part-time job paying ten thousand a day to cover the enormous cost of his future PhD studies in the UK and to escape once and for all from a past he'd rather forget.
Job: Pretend to be a CEO's male lover.
Requirements: Looks, education, and temperament are all essential. The most outrageous requirement is that he must be straight.
As a gay man, Jian Xiangxi looks at his employer's handsome face, which practically says "afraid of being harassed," and the broad shoulders and narrow waist faintly visible beneath his suit. Without batting an eye, he lies. After all, the country doesn't issue certificates to straight men, so no one can expose the lie.
He considers himself a professional and is determined never to cross the line.
His plan is flawless: play a straight boyfriend who loves money, does as he's told, and will never fall in love; earn enough money, then disappear from this straight CEO's world for good.
Until they unexpectedly end up in bed together...
*
Years ago, the emotionally distant Lu Shimu casually claimed he was gay to avoid a blind date. Then his seriously ill mother insisted on meeting the boyfriend he'd supposedly been "dating for years."
After searching high and low, he hired Jian Xiangxi, a graduate student at T University, for a generous salary.
Lu Shimu thought he was the client in control of everything. But he watched Jian Xiangxi roll up his sleeves and cook for him, revealing a wrist so clean and bright it almost hurt to look at. He watched the young man read research papers by his bedside late at night, the warm lamplight outlining his quiet profile...
His worldview as a straight man completely collapsed.
After they accidentally slept together, this business-world elite panicked and resorted to the only crisis-management strategy he knew: throwing money at the problem, naively thinking money could tie down anything.
Until he saw with his own eyes...
In a dimly lit corner, his straight wife, who never kissed him, was being held by the jaw and kissed deeply by another man. The young man tipped his head back slightly, his vulnerable neck forming a beautiful curve. Uncontrolled tears shimmered at the corners of his eyes, and those hands Lu Shimu knew better than his own were now clutching the other man's clothes with all their strength.
[Bonus Scene]
Jian Xiangxi calmly packed his bags. "Mr. Lu, it's been a pleasure working with you. We've settled the money and the service. It's time for me to go."
Lu Shimu blocked the doorway, his tall figure completely looming over him, eyes bloodshot. "Leave? Jian Xiangxi, you're my wife!"
Jian Xiangxi adjusted his glasses, his tone as calm as ever. "Sir, same-sex marriage is not yet legal in our country. From beginning to end, our relationship has been strictly professional."
Lu Shimu clutched his wrist, his voice trembling. "I have permanent residency in Country A, permanent residency in Country B, and a maple leaf card for Country C... Pick one! We'll go get married right now!"

4. This work is entirely fictional. No characters are based on real people.
5. The author cares deeply about logic. Generally speaking, anything that seems off to you is foreshadowing.
