* {{Ecchi}}: A rare ''Chinese donghua'' example, since most animated series from there wouldn't dare to step in, possible due to the censors. The {{Fanservice}} scenes are indistinguishable from their Japanese counterparts.

Unnecessary Word Cruft.


* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: The abuse Haoyi receives from the girls is typically PlayedForLaughs, with the exception of Xueli's treatment of him when they were younger. However, if he had been physically violent with the girls, or at least contemplated breaking their legs to prevent them from running away like Xueli did, you can expect he'd likely be in jail by now.

* ChekhovsGunman: The officer on duty that Haoyi runs into at the police station turns out to be an old friend of his, due to his father being the Police Chief. He played some important roles for Haoyi, such as being one of the officers who arrived at his apartment when some kidnappers were trying to break in to kidnap him. Later, he also helps arrest Du Yuze once his plans at BlackMail is recorded and broadcast to everyone in the city.

Added DiffLines:

* LimitedWardrobe: Several of the main characters wear pretty much the same outfit no matter where they are, such as Xia Zitong wearing pink pumps and an evening dress to a camping trip. Tang Xuan is about the only character who is seen wearing multiple outfits, but that's largely due to her cosplay habits.


Added DiffLines:

* SeriousBusiness: It seems like anytime the public hears about Haoyi's perceived treatment of the girls, or even if they just show interest in him, they will either give him a DeathGlare, or will actively hunt him down out of jealousy.

* OperationJealousy: Xueli dated Du Yuze in high school on a whim after her classmates mocked her for buying chocolates that almost everybody knew would be for Haoyi. To prove them "wrong", she instead offered them to Du Yuze. However, she never loved Yuze from the start and merely used him as a tool to try and make Haoyi jealous.

* FakeMemories: Cupid's Chocolates create false memories in the women who eat it which causes them to fall in love with whatever man also ate it. The magic is so strong, however, that the longer the spell goes unbroken the more the fake memories become real, up to even creating fake children and affecting the memories of anyone who comes in contact with the enchanted person.

* TheBet:
** When they were at high school, Xueli made a bet with Haoji (or, rather, forced him to accept a bet): if she did better than him in the upcoming university test, he would accompany her to the United States. Haoji, who was already trying to distance himself from her, aced the test, making her think he hated her.
** In chapter 7, he makes another bet with Xuan: if he is number 1 in the upcoming academy test, then Xuan must do one thing he requests, but if he isn't then he will do one thing she requests. She reluctantly accepts under pressure of her teammates (as he's usually around 10th and one of them tends to mark higher). When he actually wins, he reveals his request: [[spoiler:for the next two weeks, Xuan has to wear a maid cosplay dress for the Athletics Club recruitment drives. Unfortunately, Zitong makes a mistake with the size of the dress, so (a) Xuan has to use her own cosplay dress and (b) she thinks Haoyi did it on purpose.]]

* MotiveDecay: Haoyi is at a loss to explain why Xueli's behavior toward him changed from their childhood, and even she doesn't remember her reasons [[spoiler:until she has an epiphany after being kidnapped. She then remembers that she turned from friendly to hostile toward Haoyi in middle school because her mother told her that in order to earn Haoyi's love, she'd have to surpass him in everything...but after being beaten by him time and time again, she became more and more frustrated and took out her anger on Haoyi. Then, when he finally began letting her win, she started belittling him as an attempt to gain his attention, which made him distance himself from her even further. And lastly, after failing to win him over any other way, she tried to [[OperationJealousy make him jealous]] with another boyfriend, only for that to end disastrously after said boyfriend reveals he just used her. At the end of that TraumaCongaLine, a confused and distraught Xueli gave up on everything except trying to make Haoyi love her by any means necessary. By this time, she had completely forgotten her original intentions behind any of her behavior, except that they were supposed to let her marry Haoyi.]]
