My name is Lu Ren.
I live in a villa on top of a mountain with my boyfriend.
There's no internet up there, so all we can do is watch TV to pass the time.
Strangely, every channel shows the same live broadcasts of terrifying survival games.
The special effects are so realistic they're definitely not suitable for children.
I always thought they were just TV shows.
Until one day,
The elite team from one of the horror game broadcasts knocked on my door.
They told me my house was actually haunted, and that a terrifying evil spirit lived there!
I laughed. My boyfriend and I had lived here for so long. How had we never seen any evil spirit?
They took out an evil-spirit detector and scanned me, proving that I really was human.
Then the front door opened, and my boyfriend's voice rang out: "Darling, I'm home."
In full view of everyone, the detector's readings shot up, maxed out, and exploded.
I killed that evil spirit with my own hands.
I returned from the illusion to reality, but the shadow in my heart remained. My boyfriend suggested taking a trip to help me relax.
We boarded a train and set off on a trip for two.
Then one day, a group of people with supernatural powers came looking for us and got into a fight with my boyfriend.
My boyfriend controlled countless tentacles and went on a killing spree. I fainted from fright.
Later, I killed that monster with my own hands.
Travel couldn't help me relax, and I'd gained a new understanding of the world. Since I couldn't run away, I decided to face it head-on.
My boyfriend and I joined a special department. Every day, we were busy handling anomalies and saving the world.
Until one day, I discovered that my boyfriend was the most terrifying and evil anomaly of all.
I purified him with my own hands, tears in my eyes.
But that wasn't the end.
It wasn't until much later that I remembered I didn't have a boyfriend at all!
It was fake, fake, all of it was fake!
The man pulled me into his arms. "Wifey, what's wrong? Why are you so angry?"
I cried in his arms. "So many people tricked me before. They pretended to be my boyfriend and took both my body and my heart."
He comforted me dotingly. "Don't cry, don't cry. You can feel my abs."
Wait, something doesn't seem right.
Who the hell are you?

Reading guide:
1. Unlucky passerby bottom x obsessive, split-body ancient god top
2. Third-person narration
3. The top comes with a corruption effect and mildly brainwashes the bottom, fabricating boyfriends out of thin air. Each one is doting, and the bottom's resistance will grow later on. There may be a groveling arc.
4. The top is split into multiple bodies. The original has all the split bodies' memories, but the split bodies don't share memories with one another. They move through eternal darkness, greedily approaching that faint firefly's light, wanting to keep him all to themselves forever.
5. In the end, nearly all the split bodies are killed by the bottom, then return to the original.
6. Modern alternate setting with a hodgepodge of different concepts.
