Riverbay Road Men's Dormitory (Novel) Vol. 1

Multimillionaire director Zhang Yuwen has it all--fame, fortune, and a successful career. But what he really craves is to create a novel he can call true art. Fueled by this passion, he abandons the film industry to pursue writing full-time, only to hit an unexpected roadblock: his characters feel flat and inauthentic. The problem? Zhang Yuwen has spent most of his life as a loner with little real-world interactions.

As a single gay man with a luxurious yet empty villa, Zhang Yuwen comes up with a solution: rent rooms to other gay men and use them as inspiration! Enter his four new roommates: Yan Jun, a single father; Chen Hong, a fitness coach; Zheng Weize, a shy young livestreamer; and Chang Jinxing, a playboy and aspiring photographer--all unique men and perfect subjects for Zhang Yuwen to study.

But, as Zhang Yuwen dives deeper into their lives, one question remains: can these five very different men manage to coexist long enough for him to finish his masterpiece? Or will the chaos of living together become the real story?
