Synopsis

In the night, he was the flamboyant, dignified, mean, timid, malicious, snobbish, bashful, unfortunate, amorous, matriarchal and bullheaded Madame Bilan de Linphel. In the day, he was Fan Qihui, a talented tailor and fashion designer in the capital city. Fan was a fast talker and a regular visitor of the gay strongholds — parks and bathhouses — in search of romances, encounters, flirtation, sex, dinner dates... Fan said he was born to love men.

In Fan's eyes, his parents were unfortunate; his childhood, insecure and boring. When he grew up, Fan funded his journey to Guangzhou on the meager income he earned as tailor. He went to realize his dream: to be a highly sought-after “prostitute”... Indeed, he ran across some men who had left their indelible marks on him, whether it was in Beijing or in Guangzhou. He was young at the moment.
