Love's Outlet is this company that exists in a parallel universe of sorts. It has the power to sell you love from the person you want love from, in exchange for one of your positive attributes. There's quite a bit of fun that is possible from such a premise.

The story has some interesting turns but they don't always work well. The BL that turns out to be nothing, for example, doesn't really work. In the first place, if Xiao Chuan (second male lead) likes the same girl (female lead, Jing Xue) as You He (first male lead), the scene of Xiao Chuan waiting forlornly for You He in the rain doesn't quite make sense. Additionally, there is only a rather weak explanation for You He's temporary shift from being in love with Jing Xue to being in love with Xiao Chuan. Supposedly, it is because Xiao Chuan bought Jing Xue's love after You He bought it, so Xiao Chuan will get You He's love first, according to the contract. Even though the terms of the contract may be ridiculous, there is really no reason for Love's Outlet to include such a clause when it can simply make the second buyer wait for his turn.

Perhaps there was an intention to let the story take a BL turn, but for commercial reasons, this was not done. After all, the potential audience may be smaller. Also, to keep viewers guessing how the story would turn out, the series cannot be marketed as BL, but BL is usually marketed as BL and drawing non-BL fans into the series only to give them a BL series is likely a move that is too risky commercially. I still like how the story turned out, but I think the whole story would make more sense if it had a BL turn. The potential for plot twists would still be present even if the series is BL.

(On a side note, Jiang Dian is really charming as Zuo You He. I see a lot of people swooning over Wayne Song who has a supporting role, but I find Jiang Dian cute as the male lead.)
