[Blurb]
Yan Mingsheng is quite satisfied with his life. Though he is only a junior employee at a company, he has a sweet and adorable male partner, and they are planning to get married at the end of the year.
At a work dinner, Yan Mingsheng gets drunk and staggers off to find the restroom. There, he sees his partner in the arms of his direct supervisor, the two of them kissing passionately.
That night, Yan Mingsheng dreams that his partner and his supervisor are the main gong and shou of this world, while he is merely a prop, there to spice up the leads' immoral relationship.
When he wakes, Yan Mingsheng doesn't make a scene. Instead, he keeps playing the perfect boyfriend, watching his partner and the supervisor sneak around right under his nose, playing the pitiful, clueless man who has been cheated on.

Huan Chen comes from the prestigious Huan family. When he happens to hear that someone in their social circle has foolishly gotten involved with a married man and become the butt of plenty of jokes, he scoffs and promptly forgets all about it.
That is, until he sees the honest man who got cheated on in person. Looking at that handsome face and lean waist, Huan Chen realizes just how badly he was mistaken.
What a looker, Huan Chen thinks.
After that, he comes up with every excuse to appear by Yan Mingsheng's side, but Yan Mingsheng, utterly oblivious to his advances, turns him down:
"Sorry, I have a boyfriend."
"We're very much in love, and we're getting married at the end of the year."
"Mr. Huan, please don't touch me without permission."
Huan Chen grits his teeth in frustration, but there's nothing he can do about it.
Then the last shred of cover for the farce is torn away. In front of everyone, Yan Mingsheng's former lover and supervisor kiss openly. Yan Mingsheng remains silent, but Huan Chen forcefully turns his face toward him, grinning through gritted teeth:
"Take a good look. Your little boyfriend has been cheating on you for ages."
"He doesn't love you. I'm the best choice for you."
"Turn around and look at me, gege."
Yan Mingsheng: "..."
Just how pathetic must he have been acting for Huan Chen to misunderstand him this badly?
[The cheated-on honest man is actually a black-hearted gong x the unscrupulous, scheming, tea-green, ghostly shou]
Please note:
1. Both leads are sexually inexperienced, happy ending, no angst.
2. The gong is completely, one hundred percent pure. He only ever held hands with his ex, no kissing, hugging, or sleeping together.
3. The gong is secretly ruthless, not an impotent husband who just sits around doing nothing. (Can't say more without spoilers.)
Theme: Sincere love
