Lin Yuke is an affectionate person with a high need for emotional reassurance, but his husband in name only ignores every one of his emotional needs.
So when their marriage, already dead in all but name, finally came to an end, Lin Yuke didn't feel heartbroken. Instead, he felt as though he had finally been set free.
Calmly, he began preparing for a divorce, even though the person his husband had risked his life to protect was the one he loved. But when Lin Yuke brought it up, his husband accused him of having an improper relationship with someone else and insisted that Lin Yuke could never leave him.
Disappointed and furious, Lin Yuke would rather walk away with nothing than stay married.
The truth was that, after three years of marriage, he had become completely disconnected from society. To support himself, Lin Yuke followed a friend's advice and tried making content for social media, discovering the joy of being appreciated.
After the divorce, his condition gradually improved, and he finally began to embrace new things. To his surprise, his ex-husband seemed to have changed.
Zhuo Shang was a madman, so his mother sent him to a psychiatric hospital. The day she left him there, she said, "You'll be all better when you come back."
After he came home, Zhuo Shang did become the good boy everyone praised. He no longer had a terrifying possessiveness toward the outside world, nor did he form deep connections with other people. He treated his parents with nothing but distance and coldness.
That is, until he agreed to the blind date his parents arranged.
His wife had been obedient and quiet, barely even noticeable. Who knew that a whole crowd of people would start appearing around her? Before long, she asked him for a divorce.
When he saw her again after the divorce, the once gloomy person was radiating a blazing light, just like the first time they'd met. Only then did he realize that she had always been such a cheerful person. He began to envy the people who got to spend time with Lin Yuke, and resent the way Lin Yuke acted so coy with others.
The new relationship-advice streamer is handsome, speaks gently and sweetly, and can make anyone's heart melt with the occasional coy remark.
The most mysterious person in his livestream is the one with the all-black avatar who always sits at the top of the leaderboard. He has sent a fortune in gifts but has never joined a voice call, and even Lin Yuke is curious about who he is.
One day, while Lin Yuke was livestreaming outdoors, sharp-eyed viewers spotted a shadow behind him.
Viewer: Streamer, that person has been following you for almost an hour!
Viewer: Aaaah, run, streamer, run!!!!
Lin Yuke declared righteously, "The right thing to do here is call the police!"
Half an hour later.
Lin Yuke stared at his ex-husband, sitting across from him with a bruised and swollen face, and yelled, "Why are you stalking me?! Are you crazy?!"
Zhuo Shang's voice was hoarse. "I just... missed you too much."
