My Online Boyfriend Has Been Plotting Against Me for a Long Time

Chapter 1

I am a male author who writes about romance. Due to my poor writing skills, I was forced to find a boyfriend online.

One time, I was chatting with him. “Honey, I think the shoes of the top student in our school's sports department are fake.”

A few minutes later, the top student from the sports department confronted me at the dormitory door, gritting his teeth. “Come closer and see if my shoes are real or not.”

One day, I looked at the sea of negative reviews under my new story and sighed silently.

Making a living from writing is hard, especially when writing about romance.

At that moment, my editor privately messaged me.

“Big boss, your writing is really good, but your scenes are just too dry; the readers' reactions aren't great.”

“Sorry, I’m not very good at writing those kinds of scenes.”

“Then I suggest you find a boyfriend to get some inspiration, since art comes from reality, after all.”

The editor's suggestion suddenly sparked something in me.

Right, if I find someone to date, I won't get stuck when I write.

After thinking for a moment, I lifted the curtain and gently asked my roommate, who was eating.

“Do you know how I can quickly find a boyfriend?”

My roommate was taken aback.

He is the only one at school who knows my true sexual orientation, but he was still very surprised.

“Wow, you want to find a boyfriend? Finally, you're not the unattainable flower of our literature department anymore?”

Feeling a bit shy, I nodded and awkwardly made up an excuse.

“Yeah.”

“We’re already in our third year; you should at least give it a try.”

“If you have any suitable male friends, introduce them to me.”

My roommate chuckled teasingly.

“With your looks, if you just stand downstairs, boys will line up to hit on you!”

“How many boys in this college town are begging for your contact info?”

I shook my head. “Not anyone I’m interested in.”

My roommate then suggested, “Why not try online dating? Download a dating app; as long as you both like each other, it’s good to go.”

“But be careful not to meet in person, though; I’m afraid you might get sold out.”

After hearing that, my eyes lit up. I thanked him and immediately downloaded a same-sex dating app.

I uploaded a photo where my face wasn’t visible, and after it got approved, I started swiping.

I have to say, the guys on this app were quite a mixed bag.

Some were edited so much that even their mothers wouldn’t recognize them; others were overly muscular and flaunting their bodies like turkeys, and then there were middle-aged beer-bellied men.

Occasionally, I’d see a couple of handsome guys, but their photos had watermarks on them.

After swiping for a while, I began to lose interest.

Just as I was about to exit the app, a guy named “Y” popped up.

His photo was a candid shot from behind, and the angle was quite unique.
