Xiaotao likes his college senior Bo, and Bo likes Xiaotao, but neither of them is smooth enough to tell the other how they feel! Luckily, Bo’s sister is a popular BL writer and knows every romance trick in the book. Xiaotao, on the other hand, has an overenthusiastic BL-reading sister in his corner. Each new day means a different strategy to bring the lovebirds together. With such good intentions and expertise on their side, it should be smooth sailing from here… right?!
