Without Chen Jianhe knowing, he somehow acquired a boyfriend. His coworker said the man walked him to work and bought him flowers, and that he was tall and handsome.
But Chen Jianhe had been single for all twenty-nine years of his life. He had never kissed anyone, let alone held hands, so how could he have a boyfriend? He brushed it off, figuring his coworker had gone crazy from overwork and was imagining things.
But from that day on, a man whose face he could never make out kept appearing in his dreams at night. In those dreams, they met and grew close, held hands, and kissed… The dreams became more and more uncontrollable.
To stop the dreams from affecting his life, Chen Jianhe knocked on his neighbor's door.
His neighbor was a well-known local psychologist: mature and dependable. He gave Chen Jianhe professional counseling and told him he could come by anytime he had a problem.
So when Chen Jianhe found a strange rinse cup, an extra pillow, a pair of matching slippers… and a pair of men's underwear that wasn't his in his home, the first person he thought of was his neighbor.
The neighbor said Chen Jianhe had dissociative identity disorder. His second personality had a boyfriend, which was why he dreamed of a strange man. Without Chen Jianhe knowing, his second personality would bring the boyfriend home to spend the night.
Chen Jianhe believed him. He trusted and even grew dependent on his neighbor more and more.

Chen Jianhe's "second personality" seemed to be in the throes of a passionate romance. Every morning, he woke up with fresh marks all over his neck, waist, and thighs… and Chen Jianhe had no way to fight back.
Until one day, his coworker pointed to a photo of him and his neighbor and said that was his boyfriend.
Chen Jianhe stormed over to demand an explanation, but the moment the neighbor opened the door, his vision went black and he collapsed into someone's arms.
When he woke up again, his face was wet with tears, and his body was trembling uncontrollably. His neighbor looked up, his brows furrowed, his tone tinged with regret.
"Was it really that intense? You woke up already."
