Han Yu was frail and sickly from childhood. A master told her that unless she got married, she would not live to see twenty-five.
She had never taken it seriously, until the day she met her arranged-marriage partner. A casual touch sent a wave of warmth through her body, miraculously bringing color back to her cheeks.
Han Yu discovered that any physical contact with him made her feel better. He was practically a human health-restoration device.
What was there to think about? She'd marry him.

In the records of cosmic expeditions from planet GJ3378, Earth was marked as a high-risk planet.
After the three captains sent there before him never returned, the fourth captain set out once more, hiding among Earthlings under the alias Xin Chi.
His identity on Earth was the illegitimate son of the Xin family, and he was about to marry a girl from another ancient Earth family.
On his home planet, neither men nor women had the responsibility to reproduce. Their artificial gestation technology was highly advanced, so the vast majority of them disliked physical contact with other life forms.
Yet on the first night he and his marriage partner lived together, the seemingly shy and frail girl panted as she threw herself at him, clinging tightly and refusing to let go. "Quick, let me absorb some of your yang energy."
Xin Chi: "..."
Are all you Earth species this open?

Han Yu knew that her arranged-marriage husband was no ordinary person. He might not even be human.
But to replenish her yang energy, she was willing to turn a blind eye.
It didn't matter that he could go a whole month without eating or relieving himself, and never blinked or breathed.
It didn't matter that his body was as strong as steel, his skin impervious to needles, and even broken bones healed on their own.
It didn't matter that he had endless stamina, and after satisfying her, he would only demand more...
That part did matter a little.
An alien's body was an inexhaustible source of energy. "Be good," Xin Chi coaxed his wife. "Hang on a little longer, and I'll make it up to you."

What is love?
Love is when, during a date, his wife leans close and quietly reminds him, "Honey, you haven't blinked in ten minutes."
He finally understood why the first three expedition captains had stayed on Earth and refused to leave.
He would be the fourth.
He was willing to make love to his wife every day, and after death, embrace her as they turned to ashes and were buried together.
