A Guide to Keeping a Monster Boyfriend

[Rules for Keeping a Monster Boyfriend]

1. Whenever your boyfriend buys new clothes or washes his clothes, remember to put them on first. That way, when he gets them, they'll be covered in your scent.

That way, when you're not around, your boyfriend can be enveloped in your scent and won't get anxious and restless enough to want to kill someone.

2. Your boyfriend is a cute little introvert. He's not used to being around crowds. If his tentacles gently touch you in that sort of situation, be sure to hold his hand firmly.

Your boyfriend really hates bad smells and the humans who give them off. If you don't keep him in check, he'll go on a killing spree.

3. Treat every tentacle that reaches out to you well, because each one is an extension of your boyfriend. If you ignore them and leave them out in the cold, your boyfriend will cry.

But don't be too nice to those tentacles, either. Your boyfriend will get jealous and crush them without mercy. Even though they're part of his body and it'll hurt him and leave him weak, he clearly doesn't care.

4. Look at your boyfriend tenderly every day and tell him you love him.

You can lie. Lying children don't have to swallow silver needles, because even if your boyfriend knows you're deceiving him, he'll brainwash himself into believing you. But you must remember to tell him every day that you love him. Otherwise, he'll be unable to stop himself from despairingly devouring you.

“I want to kill him, even though he is me.”

Xie Changling was old-fashioned and austere, with no sense of romance. Though he loved Qin Wanhua, he had been married to her for a year and still left her to sleep alone every night.

Qin Wanhua once complained to a friend, “So much for treating each other with respect. One day, I'm going to divorce him.”

Xie Changling didn't take her seriously.

They were a well-matched couple. In this dynasty, people valued both their parents' wishes and a woman's chastity. Qin Wanhua wouldn't, and didn't dare to, divorce him. They were sure to grow old together.

Until one day, he found strange kiss marks on his wife's body that weren't his.
