Once a child star, Ling Shuangjiang joins a dating show only to find he’s the only gay participant. Just as he resigns himself to staying low-key, a devastatingly handsome straight tycoon arrives. He falls for the man at first sight—too bad the guy’s a steel-straight alpha male. Yet, against all odds: For their first date, the tycoon picks *him*. For their first love letter, the tycoon writes to *him*. For their first romantic dinner, the tycoon still chooses *him*. With a slim waist, long legs, and icy restraint, the man leaves Ling Shuangjiang utterly smitten, banging his head against the wall in frustration. Confused, Ling asks: *"Why do you keep picking me?"* Xie Wang replies with grave sincerity: *"You were my childhood idol."* — After airing, the show explodes in popularity. Their CP dominates the internet, with fans drowning in sugar. But Xie Wang only sees Ling as a bro. One day at dinner, Xie Wang jokingly asks why Ling understands gay dynamics so well. Ling replies flatly: *"Because I'm gay."* Xie Wang’s fork clatters to the floor. — From then on, Xie Wang avoids Ling, who accepts it calmly—until a new contestant arrives, relentlessly pursuing Ling. As their date looms, Xie Wang grabs Ling, teeth gritted: *"Ling Shuangjiang, don’t choose him."* Ling smirks: *"No more avoiding me?"* Xie Wang insists: *"Our friendship is pure. Orientation doesn’t matter."* — Post-show, they grow inseparable. But Xie Wang starts noticing something odd. At a ball, Ling pulls him into a dance. At a banquet, Ling asks him to wipe wine off his collarbone. At dinner, Ling pouts to be carried home. Then, at a high-society mixer, Xie Wang corners Ling: *"Do you like me? I’m straight—"* Before he finishes, a refined man approaches Ling: *"A'Jiang, who’s this?"* Ling yawns: *"A business partner."* Xie Wang snaps: *"Partners have spare keys? Partners pick your bedsheets? Partners set your shower temperature?!"** — Lately, Xie Wang suspects he’s bending—because the thought of Ling with others drives him mad. Just then, his family urges him to meet his arranged fiance. He coldly refuses: *"Cancel it."* His brother volunteers: *"I’ll go!"* Grateful, Xie Wang brings gifts to his brother’s university—only to freeze when the "fiancé" turns around. The presents scatter. Ling smiles: *"Hello, big brother."* Xie Wang dials 120: *"Emergency. Abnormal heartbeat."*
