Description
In the second semester of sophomore year, Ji Su comforts a senior from the music club who was deceived by a s*umbag in an online romance. The senior, with tears in her eyes, begs Ji Su to help her get revenge. Ji Su, bewildered: “Senior, I’m a guy.” Senior, with a fierce look: “Precisely because you’re a guy, and because you’re more endowed than him, you have to make him understand the dangers of online dating!” Ji Su: “…” To help the senior get revenge, Ji Su adds the s*umbag on WeChat with a new account, racking his brains every day to chat with him. But no matter how many good morning and good night messages he sends, the s*umbag never replies. Until one day, Ji Su sends a photo to the s*umbag. In the photo, he is wearing white shorts, revealing a slender and well-proportioned thigh. This time, the s*umbag responds instantly: “Is that your leg in the photo?” Ji Su discovers that the s*umbag senior has a leg fetish. The s*umbag frequently finds excuses to ask for more leg photos. To avoid revealing his gender, Ji Su buys skirts online and obediently sends leg photos. The s*umbag’s cold demeanor changes, and he starts chatting proactively, buying Ji Su various pretty skirts, sending him tickets to his favorite concerts, and even sharing photos of his own six-pack abs and V-line. Seeing the s*umbag getting more and more infatuated, Ji Su proposes to meet in real life, thinking his revenge plan is about to succeed. But to his surprise, the s*umbag turns out to be the law student heartthrob Gu Zhao, a 193 cm tall, aloof male god of A University, who is rumored to be a bit homophobic. Ji Su panics and blocks Gu Zhao on WeChat, fearing the campus heartthrob will recognize him. However, the more he tries to avoid him, the more frequently they meet, and Gu Zhao’s gaze becomes increasingly inscrutable. Later, Gu Zhao sits Ji Su on his lap, personally dressing him in a high-slit cheongsam, his tone ambiguous and dangerous: “Baby, why don’t you call me husband anymore?” Jisu: “Husband, I was wrong, boohoo…” A seemingly innocent yet seductive straight male submissive x a cold and scheming campus heartthrob who dotes on his ‘wife.’ 1. The seme is not a true s*umbag. 2. The seme has a leg fetish, but only for the uke’s legs. 3. Both are straight (but not really) and bend for each other in this sweet romance. 4. All plot logic serves the romance. 5. An indulgent work by the author, stop reading if not interested. 6. Common trope of online dating mishaps, please refrain from critiquing the plot in the comments.

My Thoughts on Online Dating Fiasco with the Campus Heartthrob
First Impressions
Okay, so "Online Dating Fiasco with the Campus Heartthrob" is definitely a title that grabs your attention. Diving in, I was immediately hit with a pretty standard, yet charming, setup. We've got our kind-hearted MC, who's a bit of a pushover and, initially, considers himself straight. Then there's the whole online deception spurred by a friend's revenge plot. I'll admit, I was a little skeptical at first, but the sheer absurdity of it all had me hooked. The premise felt a bit tropey, but I was eager to see how the author would spin it.
What Works Well
The humor is definitely a strong point. The cringe-worthy situations the MC finds himself in, especially as he unknowingly falls for the ML, are both hilarious and endearing. I found myself genuinely invested in their online interactions, and the author does a great job of portraying the slow burn of their feelings. The story is also surprisingly heartwarming. Beyond the humor and outlandish premise, there's a touching narrative about two individuals with their own struggles finding kindness and connection in unexpected places. I appreciated that the author managed to balance the lightheartedness with genuine emotional depth. The ML, despite being a "cold, serious" type, is also incredibly compelling, especially with his…unique appreciation for legs.
Areas of Concern
While the initial premise is intriguing, it does rely on some familiar tropes. The "hiding identity" plot can feel a bit overdone, and the MC's initial homophobia, while addressed, might be a hurdle for some readers.

While it might not be groundbreaking, it's a well-executed story with plenty of humor, heart, and unexpected twists. If you're looking for a lighthearted romance with a unique premise and don't mind a bit of absurdity, I'd definitely recommend giving this one a try. I'm giving it a solid 4/5. It's a delightful little story that left me laughing and feeling all warm and fuzzy inside.
