After Marrying an Old Fashioned Scientist

Qi Bai, a handsome and talented student in the Art Department at Nanjing University, is known for his divine appearance and hot temper. He is constantly pursued by numerous admirers who believe his hands are meant for holding paintbrushes.

Under the relentless pursuit of his passionate admirers, Qi Bai resorts to finding a special worker to act as his fake boyfriend to fend them off.

His fake boyfriend, Jiang Jianzhi, stands tall and elegant, exuding an aura of scholarly charm, resembling a noble young master from an ancient painting. Apart from his slightly conservative personality, he is the perfect fake boyfriend.

However, trouble arises when Qi Bai decides to have Jiang Jianzhi switch to a different job. Jiang Jianzhi refuses, saying he enjoys his current work. Qi Bai becomes angry and tells him that he cannot continue in that line of work now that he has him.

Confused, Jiang Jianzhi takes off his glasses and asks, “Why? Is it unbecoming for a professor to do research?” Qi Bai is taken aback and asks, “Professor? Aren’t you a special worker*?” to which Jiang Jianzhi responds with a puzzled look.

As their misunderstandings become evident, Qi Bai realizes that the gap between them might be bigger than he thought…
