The Method Actor Novelist and His Law-Abiding Boyfriend

1

Mu Chi is a novelist, best known for his suspenseful episodic stories.

His writing is full of absurd, suspenseful plots and true-to-life portrayals of human goodness and evil. Online readers praise him as a young writer blessed by the heavens, someone who can create the most vivid characters with nothing but pen, paper, and imagination.

But only his editor, who receives manuscripts from him in all sorts of places every month, knows the truth. Online readers don't know a thing. Mu Chi is actually a rare method actor of a writer.

Give him nothing but pen, paper, and imagination, and he couldn't write ten words in a month.

To create characters with flesh, blood, and souls, Mu Chi has hauled bricks at construction sites, gutted fish at RT-Mart, and dressed up as a hostess at a nightclub.

Mu Chi's life is like a surprise box. You never know where he'll be next or what role he'll be playing.

The Pei family had eaten fish head and tofu stew for a whole week. Word was that his mom had a crush on the young fishmonger, so she went to buy fish from him every day to show her support.

Young Master Pei, who had hated fish since childhood, couldn't take it anymore. He left work early and went grocery shopping with his mom, determined not to eat fish again that night.

He filled up the shopping cart in advance, making sure there wasn't room for even half a fish. Then, full of confidence, he followed his mom to the seafood section and met a pair of soft, dewy eyes like a fawn's...

"Could you pick out two fish for me? I love eating them."

Pei Yanzhi had been buying fish at the supermarket for half a month because the young fishmonger was exactly his type.

The man seemed poor and pitiful, and was even in the awful position of being hounded for debt payments every month.

Pei Yanzhi, who had always looked down on his friends for keeping young lovers, found himself tempted. Maybe it was because the alcohol he'd drunk with a business partner earlier had finally gone to his head. At that moment, his conscience walked right out the door.

Pei Yanzhi offered to pay off the man's debts in exchange for him being his lover for two months.

As the two months went by, Pei Yanzhi fell deeper and deeper, and discovered a huge secret about his lover...

After successfully finishing a story in which the killer was a wealthy businessman who kept a lover, Mu Chi planned to confess his identity to the pure-hearted, beautiful boss who was "keeping" him. He was also going to confess his feelings and ask whether the man would like another boyfriend.

But his beautiful boss confessed first, repeatedly assuring him that he didn't mind being deceived.

Deeply moved and completely off guard, Mu Chi drank the warm milk his boss handed him. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself surrounded by the police, while his newly minted, handsome boyfriend clung to him and cried like a tough guy.

"Be good, Chi Chi. Let's turn ourselves in. I'll find the best lawyer, and we'll get shorter sentences. I'll wait for you the whole time."

Looking at the murder plan (his novel outline) and the diary documenting his painful experiences (his character biography) in front of him, Mu Chi nearly lost control of his tears.

"Mu Chi, tell us where the body is and what the murder weapon was."
