Chu Lai, 25 years old, a corporate slave at a major company and a part-time gaming streamer, had been in a stable relationship with his boyfriend of three years—or so he thought.

One day, on his way home from work, he noticed his boyfriend kissing an unfamiliar man in the background of a video on his friend’s social media.

He immediately went to a small bar to break up with his boyfriend on the spot, only to be turned on and blamed instead.
His ex-boyfriend sneered, “You’re boring and unromantic. That’s why I’m breaking up with you!”

Coincidentally, the couple sitting next to them echoed the same sentiment:
“You don’t love me or care about romance. We’re done!”

Such a coincidence that Chu Lai actually found it amusing and laughed.

After the breakup, Chu Lai headed to a nearby barbecue stand, where he encountered an elite man who had also just been dumped. They shared a table, drank, and had a decent conversation—but there was no spark.

A week later, Chu Lai received a marriage proposal via WeChat from that very same man.

Chu Lai: “?”

Cen Wei, 29 years old, heir to a famous umbrella-making company, had recently been dumped after a three-month relationship. The reason? He was “emotionally cold” and “not romantic.”

Though he expected the breakup, he wasn’t prepared for the news that his grandfather was critically ill and wished for him to marry before he passed away.

On a whim, Cen Wei opened WeChat and messaged the guy he added that day: “Please marry me.”

At 3 a.m. that weekend, he got an instant reply: “Okay.”

Cen Wei: “?”

Chu Lai enjoys a simple life of three meals a day, work, and rest. If he got used to being single, he could probably live well enough. But he has one peculiar habit—he likes strong, comforting hugs.

So, he decided to jump into a new relationship to fill the emotional void.

It turns out, he ended up with a perfect, if unromantic, soulmate.

Ex-boyfriend: “I can’t believe you moved on so fast! And with my boss? Is this your way of getting revenge on me?”

Chu Lai: “Sorry, I didn’t think that much about it.”

Cen Wei: “Are you done talking? Let’s go home for dinner.”
