Shen Jiale decides to divorce Lin Duchuan.
After three years of marriage, his husband seems to have suddenly become a different person. He no longer acts affectionate toward him, leaves early and comes home late every day, and carries the scent of someone unfamiliar.
He doesn't want to keep investing in a hopeless relationship, so he takes the divorce papers home to get Lin Duchuan to sign them.
The house is dark, without a single light on. Lin Duchuan stands alone by the window, his back to him. Moonlight spills down beside him, but the floor is completely empty. There is no shadow.
How can a person have no shadow?
The blood drains from Shen Jiale's body. He freezes in place.
Just then, Lin Duchuan turns around and looks at him with a pair of pitch-black eyes, deep as an abyss.
"Jiale, are you going to divorce me?"

For a time, Shen Jiale can't tell illusion from reality. All he can do is search the surveillance footage for clues.
In the footage, he's talking to thin air, embracing it, kissing it. He looks just like a madman.
Shen Jiale clutches his husband's portrait, staring blankly at the footage.
He turns, and the man in the portrait is quietly watching him from beside him.
Shen Jiale freezes for a moment, then kisses him without holding back. The icy touch makes him tremble uncontrollably, but he doesn't stop. He's willing to lose himself in it.
