Title: The Reluctant Shou
Premise:
The protagonist, Xiao Chen, is a confident young man who takes pride in his identity as a gong. He’s known among his friends as someone who is strong-willed and assertive, not to mention popular in the dating scene. However, his life takes an unexpected turn when he is forced to participate in a reality dating show titled “Love’s Role Reversal,” which promises to be the next big hit.
Setup:
In a twist of fate, Xiao Chen is accidentally cast as a shou in the show, where he must navigate romantic encounters and relationships as the bottom. The producers have a specific vision for the show and believe that his initial resistance will create compelling drama, so they do everything to ensure he remains in this role.
Conflict:
As Xiao Chen is thrust into this new situation, he struggles to adapt. He feels uncomfortable and humiliated, particularly because the other contestants are eager to play their roles, and he often finds himself in compromising situations. He has to deal with the stigma and assumptions from both the audience and the other contestants, who underestimate him because of his assigned role.
As the show progresses, he is paired with Liang Wei, a charming and skilled gong who effortlessly embodies the role of the top. Initially, Xiao Chen finds Liang Wei infuriating, as he seems to relish every moment of their interactions. However, as they spend more time together, their dynamic begins to shift. Xiao Chen starts to discover sides of himself he never knew existed, grappling with feelings of vulnerability and intimacy that he had previously avoided.
Character Development:

Throughout the show, he faces challenges that force him to question his understanding of masculinity and vulnerability. Meanwhile, Liang Wei reveals his own insecurities and the reasons behind his confident facade, leading to unexpected chemistry between them.
Climax:
The climax occurs during a critical challenge where contestants must confront their fears and insecurities. Xiao Chen’s reluctance to embrace his role is put to the test, resulting in a heartfelt confrontation with Liang Wei that exposes their vulnerabilities. This moment forces Xiao Chen to reassess his identity and acceptance of being a shou, culminating in an emotional breakthrough.
Resolution:
By the end of the show, Xiao Chen learns to embrace his duality, realizing that being a shou doesn’t diminish his strength or worth. He develops a genuine connection with Liang Wei, leading to a romantic relationship that challenges societal norms. The experience transforms him, allowing him to accept and celebrate his identity fully, regardless of societal expectations.
