After Marrying a Tentacle Monster by Contract

“I think my husband might not be human.” After moving in with her husband of convenience, Xie Qi'an began to think he might be imagining things. His husband loved driving him around, but whenever he turned the steering wheel, the car would go in a completely different direction. After every shower, his husband would volunteer to clean the bathroom. While he was in there, black shadows would writhe about. When Xie Qi'an went in afterward, the bathroom was so clean it looked as if something had scrubbed it from top to bottom. Most importantly, ever since they started living together, Xie Qi'an had a strange dream every night in which shadows wrapped tightly around him. He always woke up exhausted. Xie Qi'an decided to keep observing. One day, after his shower, his husband went in to “clean” as usual. Xie Qi'an suddenly turned back. The moment he opened the bathroom door, he saw a huge black creature waving countless tentacles, happily stuffing his clothes into its mouth. Xie Qi'an: “…” His husband: “…” He closed the door with an expression of apparent calm, then couldn’t resist posting his first thread on a research forum: “My husband might not be human... but why am I even more excited?!” - He Cizhou was, in his true form, a deep-sea tentacle monster. Or rather, he was a tentacle monster living on in place of a human. To keep his delicate, tender, adorable wife from discovering his true form, he did everything he could to stay hidden each day. He hadn’t learned to drive yet? No problem. He had plenty of tentacles, which could wriggle along the ground in place of wheels. He wanted to get closer to his wife, but couldn’t let him discover his true form? No problem. He could wait until his wife wasn’t looking, or until he was asleep, then rub his true form all over every object in the room that carried his wife’s scent. But... even after being so careful, his wife still discovered the truth. Caught red-handed, with no way to explain himself. The little monster was terrified. But instead of getting angry, his wife addressed the giant octopus in a fervent, sweet, dreamlike voice: “I really like your tentacles. Could I cut a little off to study?” The monster was thrilled to find his wife admired him, and fumbled his way into posting his first bragging-about-his-love thread on a human forum: “Hehe, my wife loves me so much. Every time I cut off a piece of myself for him to play with, he tells me I’m a good boy ww” Netizens: “…” Poster, are you sure you don’t want to call the police?!
