Simon Peters and his partner Mark Smith face a number of challenging life events in the fourth and final volume of this heart-warming saga. Because of his time working on the streets after being kicked out of home by his father, Mark worries he may have contracted HIV. Despite knowing the lack of treatment options if he were to test positive -- this is the late 1980’s before the age of retro-viral drugs -- Mark is determined to know his fate. Things become complicated when Mark receives a letter from his father wanting to re-establish contact. Roy entering their lives presents further challenges, ones which ultimately threaten Simon and Mark’s continued happiness. Gay teens Sam and Billy play an increasingly important part in Simon and Mark’s lives, often regarding the older men as surrogate fathers/big brothers. Can this unconventional family pull together and become stronger, despite all the world has thrown at them?

Entertainment production expert

Li Guanghui had transmigrated to a world that was similar to Earth. There were no songs that he was familiar with in his previous life, and there were no movies that had swept the box office like crazy in his previous life. The era of self-media had not arrived, and then... The songs he wrote (copied) made people famous one after another. The movies he filmed broke box office records one after another. He even redefined internet celebrity. "Teacher Li, a fan said that a female singer entered your room. Are you two in a relationship?" "No, we were just discussing the lyrics." "Director Li, a reporter friend waited until a certain actress entered your room late at night. Are you guys playing some kind of unspoken rules?" "No, we're just discussing the script." "I'm really not forcing anything! If you don't believe me, you can ask them. They were the ones who took the initiative." Li Guanghui said helplessly.
