Touch-Starved: The Worst-Rated Boyfriend Was the Founder

Ivy is touch-starved, so she rents a boyfriend. Lan takes her money and uses it to humiliate her—cold words, canceled plans, rainy nights waiting alone. When she books the platform’s worst-rated companion, Sean accepts.

He isn’t trying to beat Lan; he’s the app’s secret founder, and he’s been quietly in love with Ivy for years. As Lan keeps pushing back, Ivy stops begging, stops paying, and starts choosing herself—while the man who hurt her realizes too late what he lost.
