… Due to a series of misunderstandings, Lin Yuxing, a poor student, is mistakenly identified as the love interest of the aloof campus heartthrob, Gu Zhongyi.
Lin Yuxing: Please stop spreading rumors and don’t interfere with my part-time job.
Gu Zhongyi: I have too many pursuers, and I happen to need a shield. The monthly salary can be negotiated.
Lin Yuxing: Hello, Senior Gu, I am the best shield you can have!
