Tian Lei has mastered the art of distance.. a working student balancing senior high classes in the morning and a bar job at night, he survives by keeping his emotions muted and his life tightly controlled. Zheng Peng is a spoiled, arrogant student.. but all that composure melts whenever it's about Wang Dee Lan, the hot, famous varsity player he secretly admires. Dee Lan is someone Zheng Peng can only watch from afar, a desire he can never chase openly. When Zheng Peng discovers that Tian Lei works at a bar, he offers him money to become his Fuck Buddy.. a secret arrangement with one unspoken rule.. no emotional attachment. Tian Lei agrees.. but not just for the money. There's a deeper reason driving him, one he keeps buried beneath his calm exterior. Zheng Peng uses Tian Lei as a stand-in, a body to hold while his mind focuses on Wang Dee Lan pretending that the hands touching him belong to Dee Lan. How long can you hold someone in your arms when their heart belongs somewhere else?

Ziyu was the café's beloved barista, admired by everyone who walked through the door.. and secretly coveted by his quiet, enigmatic boss, Zhan Xuan. Until Tian Xuning appeared.. the clever, dangerously possessive producer had discovered Ziyu and would stop at nothing to make him sign a contract. But it wasn't just fame or idolhood that drove Tian Xuning.. it was obsession. Every glance, movement of the young man ignited a possessive hunger that Tian Xuning couldn't ignore. How far will he drag Ziyu into his manipulation and obsession?

Everyone believed Zheng Peng was harmless, because he was the golden boy.. handsome, polite, and impossibly kind. While Tian Lei was branded a failure, Zheng Peng was praised as perfection itself. To Tian Lei, Zheng Peng was everything he could never be. Envy rotted into cruelty, and their rivalry bled into public humiliation, insults, and quiet acts of violence. What Tian Lei never knew was that behind Zheng Peng's angelic smile lived something far more dangerous. Zheng Peng shed his perfection and became a seductive live streamer hidden beneath layers of makeup, Japanese cosplay, and carefully crafted innocence. And his most devoted fan was none other than Tian Lei himself. The bully never realized he wasn't chasing an illusion.. he was falling in love with a monster who had already seen through him. Is Tian Lei ready to survive loving a psycho who already knows every way to break him?

"This marriage was never about heirs.. it was about power." Tian Xuning is the only one who remembers the marriage. A quiet ceremony bound him to Zheng Peng in the eyes of two powerful families when they were children. Years later.. Zheng Peng is unaware that his future had already been claimed. He grew up believing his life was his own.. until a stranger returns to China and is introduced as his husband. Convinced that renewing the marriage is simply a matter of duty and obligation, Zheng Peng agrees.. unaware that Tian Xuning had planned every step. The quiet, confident man who now stands before him is territorial, calculating, and dangerously possessive. The elders demand cohabitation. To officially recognize the marriage, the two must live together under the same roof.
