Do You Have a Monster Boyfriend?

[Help: I lost my memory and now I have a boyfriend who acts suspiciously. What should I do?]

Xie Yu posted a help thread.

At first, the commenters joked around. But after hearing her description, they reached a conclusion:

[Your boyfriend might be a monster disguised as a human.]

[If something feels wrong, run!]

Of course, there were some strange, rather obsessive takes, too.

[Could it be that he cares about you too much?]

[The people trying to get close to you really aren't good news.]

[You should be wary of everyone who approaches you, except your boyfriend.]

She didn't even get a chance to test him before an accident temporarily left her blind.

Her boyfriend took loving care of her, tending to every little thing.

She lost herself in his tenderness and forgot all those warnings.

She couldn't see the tentacles and bone spikes spreading throughout the room.

One day, during a torrential downpour, she leaned over the balcony, waiting for him to come home. The scene before her eyes suddenly blurred, then came into focus.

Down in the alley, she saw her unfriendly neighbor being gripped by the throat in someone's hand.

Her gaze instinctively followed the arm. The owner of the hand had a face so beautiful it was almost unreal, and it was twisted with murderous intent. The tenderness he always showed her was gone.

The owner of that hand was her boyfriend.

Her boyfriend slowly raised his eyes to meet hers.

By the time he got home, Xie Yu was still standing on the balcony. As his footsteps drew nearer, she played dumb, pretending her sight hadn't returned. Smiling, she tentatively asked, "Honey, are you home?"

The man paused, then slowly studied her eyes. She reached out by touch and planted a light kiss on his cheek.

His expression was indifferent, but his voice held a smile that didn't match it at all. "Mm-hm."

Xie Yu still ran away.

She waited until her boyfriend went out to buy her jewelry.

But she had been away from home for less than a day when two low-level monsters started chasing her.

Sharp bone spikes appeared from nowhere, turning into soft tentacles that carefully pulled her into their embrace.

They crushed the low-level monsters with ease.

She knew very well that the owner of those bone spikes was the one who had given the Anomaly Control Bureau no end of trouble...

And that monster... looked exactly like her boyfriend.

Her reflection shone in his innocent, deep-set eyes, alongside his undisguised, wicked madness.

His long, finely boned fingers brushed her face. His voice was as gentle as when he soothed her, soft and "sweet" enough to send a chill through her whole body:

"Baby, which of my arms did you see this time?"
