Blurb:

Jiang Chu's lover lost his memory on the eve of their wedding.

A large truck struck Chi Nanmu, leaving him covered in blood and with hardly a spot on his body uninjured.

Jiang Chu stayed by his hospital bed for three months, finally waiting for Chi Nanmu to wake up.

He wanted to hear Chi Nanmu call him "Chu Chu," but instead heard a cold question: "Who are you?"

After losing his memory, Chi Nanmu became a different person.

Jiang Chu's lover liked basil pasta, but Chi Nanmu now detested it.

Jiang Chu's lover liked riding motorcycles, but Chi Nanmu now looked down on it.

Worst of all, after losing his memory, Chi Nanmu simply didn't love him.

If someone loses their memories, are they still the same person?

Jiang Chu didn't know the answer. All he could do was cling to a faint hope and wait for Chi Nanmu to regain his memories.

But two years passed. Jiang Chu let his acting career fall by the wayside, and by the time he had lost all hope and grown numb, Chi Nanmu still only gave him a cool glance, whether Jiang Chu flew into a rage or begged in anguish. "Jiang Chu, stop making a fuss."

One day, as they lay back to back in silence,

Jiang Chu asked, "Chi Nanmu, do you love me even a little now?"

Chi Nanmu frowned and avoided the question, his voice impassive. "It's late. Go to sleep."

At that moment, the string Jiang Chu had been desperately holding taut finally snapped. He decided the Chi Nanmu he once knew was dead, quietly packed his bags, and left behind nothing but divorce papers.

-

Chi Nanmu hated being tied down, so he disliked Jiang Chu, the man who claimed to be his lover.

He hated dangerous, noisy motorcycles, but Jiang Chu treasured them.

He hated the pungent smell of basil pasta, but Jiang Chu made it every week.

What had he ever loved about Jiang Chu? Chi Nanmu couldn't figure it out.

So when Jiang Chu filed for divorce, he accepted it with a calm and willing heart.

The suitcase wheels squeaked. Chi Nanmu thought he was finally free.

But he never expected that, from the day Jiang Chu left, his dreams would become the memories he had lost. They came flooding back, tormenting him so badly that he couldn't sleep at night.

As his fractured memories returned, Chi Nanmu stumbled through the rain on a stormy night and knocked on Jiang Chu's door.

"Chu Chu, I remember everything now," Chi Nanmu said softly from the doorway, soaked to the skin.

Jiang Chu opened the door a crack and stared at him for a moment before saying coldly, "Go away, Mr. Chi. You're not him."

-

After Jiang Chu became single again, everyone in their circle said Chi Nanmu must have been possessed. He used to be so cold and aloof, but now he dyed his hair and rode a motorcycle.

No more suits, four earrings, ripped jeans, and a motorcycle worth over a million.

Chi Nanmu frantically searched for their past, desperately pretending to be the person Jiang Chu once saw in him, but he couldn't even earn a backward glance.

During an interview, the host maliciously asked Jiang Chu whether he was still in contact with his ex-husband.

Jiang Chu smiled with acceptance and said calmly, "No. The person I love is already dead."

At that, the host looked down at the stage in alarm. The "dead" Chi Nanmu stood there, holding Jiang Chu's favorite flowers, eyes bloodshot.

Before he recovered his memories: distant, emotionally abusive film investor gong x emo, obsessive, disillusioned actor shou

After he recovered his memories: I get jealous of myself gong x cold, heartbroken shou

Happy ending, 1v1, both are each other's first.

A memory-loss, chasing-his-wife-to-the-crematorium story.

The gong loses his memory and will recover all of it. His personality changes drastically before and after losing his memory, but explaining why would spoil the story, so it's not covered in the blurb.

Note: Two obsessive, ruthless people fall in love.

The current anti-piracy ratio is 70%.

Blurb for This Time, I'll Be the One to Give Up on You:

Zhu Nan became a canary anyone could exploit.

More ironically, his sugar daddy was his first love.

Ten years ago, Wei Zhaoxing left without a word, leaving Zhu Nan alone outside the airport, dazed in the evening glow.

Ten years later, Wei Zhaoxing suddenly reappeared and insisted that the Zhu family send him off to the Wei household.

Zhu Nan thought that as an adopted son and a lowly actor, he was destined to be a dependent ornament anyway. It didn't matter which family he went to. Even if it was his former lover, he knew how to keep his place.

On the first day he moved into the Wei household, Zhu Nan knew his place. He chose the smallest room in the house, one that was shaded and damp, but safe enough.

Wei Zhaoxing frowned. "Go sleep in my bedroom."

Zhu Nan politely declined. "No need. Thank you for the offer, sir."

Later, everyone said Wei Zhaoxing was about to get engaged. Zhu Nan knew his place, packing his pitifully small amount of luggage in the middle of the night, only for Wei Zhaoxing to catch him in the act.

Wei Zhaoxing snatched the suitcase and gripped his wrist, asking with bloodshot eyes, "Zhu Nan, what am I to you?"

Zhu Nan didn't hesitate. "My sugar daddy."

He had once treasured a fallen star, cradling it in his hands, only to be burned by its light until he was in agony.

So he wouldn't make that mistake again.

-

Wei Zhaoxing spent ten years taking control of the Wei family. Now, anything he wanted was within reach. But the only thing he truly wanted was a little shadow named Zhu Nan.

But time had passed, and even a little shadow could grow up.

He wanted Zhu Nan to sleep in his bedroom, but Zhu Nan would only curl up in a cramped room.

He wanted Zhu Nan to call him "Ge," but Zhu Nan would only address him as the distant "sir."

Even after his scenes wrapped, Zhu Nan would rather stay on set and do nothing than go home to see him.

No matter what Wei Zhaoxing did, even when he pinned Zhu Nan against the wall, Zhu Nan showed no reaction. He didn't even get angry. He was like a pool of still, lifeless water.

Later, with no other options, Wei Zhaoxing dug out a photo of them at eighteen and asked in a low, pleading voice, "Tell me, Zhu Nan, what do I have to do for us to go back to how we were then?"

The young man in the old photograph was refined and handsome.

Zhu Nan stared blankly at the picture, finally reacting. He looked directly into Wei Zhaoxing's eyes for the first time, but they held years of hatred. "We can't go back, Wei Zhaoxing. You were the one who gave up on me first."

You were the one who gave up on me first.

So this time, I'll be the one to give up on you.

A gradually despairing, unhinged gong x a cool-headed, indifferent actor shou

1v1, both are each other's first, happy ending

Lots of misunderstandings

They only ever have eyes for each other

Theme: Learn to reconcile with pain and be your truest self
