"Munchausen syndrome by proxy: Patients unconsciously fabricate illnesses in others to fulfill their desire to care for someone."

*

Everyone thought Shen Yu was a pawn sacrificed in the fight for power within the Qi family. Only a few knew that this marriage was the result of Second Young Master Qi's years-long unrequited love. And even after two years of marriage, he had never set foot in Shen Yu's bedroom.

When his friends teased him about it, Second Young Master Qi wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, he started bragging:

"A lovesick puppy? Not a chance. Shen Yu's been glued to me these past couple of days. He even dressed me himself and found time to make me a loving lunch."

In front of everyone, Qi Fang opened the lovingly prepared lunchbox and solemnly held up the sweet little note Shen Yu had written for him. At a glance, he spotted the elegant handwriting:

[Qi Fang, 27 years old, middle-aged dementia, persistent episodes. If you notice anything unusual, please call xxxxxx immediately. Thank you very much.]

Shen Yu has recently come down with a strange condition: he keeps thinking Qi Fang is sick.

Flu, broken bones, heart disease, middle-aged dementia... Hearing about these imaginary illnesses, Qi Fang angrily slammed the table, then collapsed on the spot, suddenly stricken with the disease. He refuses to get up unless Shen Yu kisses him.

By playing the part of a model patient, Qi Fang gets to enjoy all kinds of bizarre, "devoted" care. Life is going swimmingly, and stepping into Shen Yu's bedroom seems just around the corner.

Until one day, Qi Fang discovers Shen Yu calmly logging into a mysterious website and earnestly asking a question on a medical advice forum:

[I've been married to my partner for two years, but we still haven't slept together. I suspect he has an incurable male reproductive disease. What should I do?]

◆ A cool, slow-to-the-romance, mildly irresistible shou x a loyal, wife-protecting, goofy gong

◆ The illnesses named are real, but most of their symptoms and treatments in this story are made up. Please don't take them as medical advice. This is a silly story with no regard for logic, so just enjoy the ride. A bow~
