Coming soon
In the kitchen, a man wearing an apron stands in the sunlight, his handsome profile bathed in its glow as delicious aromas drift through the air.
He brings out three dishes and a soup.
Sitting down, he asks gently, "Could we not get divorced?"
Xu Mian looks at him, hesitating.
"You know we're over."
Outside in the living room, the luggage is packed. Even their pet kitten has been carefully divided between them.
They've been married for seven years. Thank goodness they don't have children.
Xu Mian feels guilty.
He's an indisputably good man: respectful to his parents, the breadwinner, and willing to do his share of the housework. He's the kind of husband anyone could rely on.
But you can't force love. She's tired of his old-fashioned ways, his coldness, his spinelessness, and his salary of just 3,500 yuan a month.
She looks up and sees him still gazing at her tenderly, his eyes fixed on her.
The familiar man she married isn't human at all!
A cold, ink-blue tentacle covered in suction cups coils around her:
[Mission failed. Second personality (true form) activated.]
[Subject's SAN value has dropped. Forced treatment commencing.]
It is a forbidden relic from ancient times, with no name.
By chance, it married a human woman.
It disguised itself as a human man, worked hard on a 996 schedule, earned a meager salary, and deliberately accommodated human habits like [growing old], [getting sick], [sleeping], and [eating].
As time passed, its disguise was met with disdain. It was labeled [old-fashioned], [poor], and [spineless], and the human woman wanted to [divorce] it.
The circuitry hums silently as its true form appears, twisted and grotesque.
It must not be looked upon or imagined, or your SAN value will hit zero (total madness)!
Still wearing his apron, he stands in the living room, obediently saying, "Let's not get divorced."
