He Only Loves My Eyes [Double Substitute]

Li Zhi's husband doesn't love him.

After two years of marriage, Wen Linshuang knows all his likes and dislikes. He never spends the night elsewhere, and though reserved, he is considerate in every way. He's the perfect husband.

In the eyes of others, they are a perfectly matched couple, admired by everyone. But only Li Zhi knows that Wen Linshuang has someone else in his heart.

During sex, Wen Linshuang covers the lower half of his face and kisses his eyes.

When they go out, Wen Linshuang personally puts a mask on him, hiding his lips.

On his birthday, Wen Linshuang plays him the same violin piece, even though he can't understand it.

When a friend tells him that Wen Linshuang has someone in his heart, and that the person he loves is about to return to the country, Li Zhi isn't surprised or bothered. He even smiles broadly.

That's because he, too, is deeply in love with that person, while Wen Linshuang is merely a substitute with a similar voice.

The first time Wen Linshuang saw Li Zhi, he marveled that two people could be so alike: similar eyes, the same tastes, even identical ways of doing things.

So Wen Linshuang is quite satisfied with their married life, except that Li Zhi always keeps his eyes closed during sex. He never opens them.

When the person he loves returns to the country, Wen Linshuang hesitates over whether to come clean to Li Zhi. But when he meets Li Zhi's obedient gaze, his heart softens and he can't bring himself to say it.

He goes to a concert with the person he loves, and Li Zhi suddenly appears, inserting himself between them. When that person gets drunk, Wen Linshuang takes him home, and Li Zhi helps look after him.

Wen Linshuang assumes Li Zhi loves him to the point of fearing he will be abandoned, and that's why he takes the initiative to help.

It isn't until later that Wen Linshuang discovers Li Zhi's digital diary, filled with twisted confessions of love for the person Wen Linshuang loves.

A surge of fury rushes to his head. For the first time in his life, Wen Linshuang glares in disbelief and rages, "Li Zhi, did you take me for a substitute?"

Li Zhi only glances at him and asks coolly, "Didn't you take me for a substitute too? What right do you have to be angry?"
