Newly married and already widowed, Chu Chen had everyone convinced he was sobbing into the covers, grief-stricken over his late husband, Si Yue. Only Si Yue knew the truth: Chu Chen had his face buried under the covers, stroking the cat in his arms and barely holding back his laughter. "Heh, the demon's dead. Kit, do you think Brother Si is alive?"
After becoming a vegetable, Si Yue's soul had attached itself to a cat. Seeing this, he nearly had a heart attack and died on the spot.
Not long after being widowed, Chu Chen took his stepson on a dating reality show.
Everyone else's dating-show slogans were things like "Looking for the one," "Hand in hand for life," or "You're my romance."
Chu Chen's slogan was: Bad luck for husbands, widowed, bringing a stepson, and secretly raising another rebellious kid (a cat).
Netizens: Is he insane? Does he hear himself?
When the show began, Chu Chen pointed at the gloomy-faced man appearing on camera and asked his stepson in horror, "Kit, doesn't he look like your real dad, whose grave is overgrown with grass three meters high?"
"Kit, say something!"
The little one: Little Dad, stop talking. Big Dad is on his way to kill you!
After Si Yue became a vegetable, his soul attached itself to the cat raised by his first love. He watched with his own eyes as the moment he was declared dead, his first love, the child's father, and his newlywed husband hid under the covers and laughed so hard he pounded the bed.
After Chu Chen took their kid on a dating show, he even used his dead husband's identity as a shield. Everyone thought Chu Chen was still devoted to his late husband. Only the late husband, Si Yue, knew that he was merely Chu Chen's stand-in lover, and that Chu Chen had married him just to extend someone else's life.
Si Yue decided to divorce him and let him go.
When he heard that his late husband had come back to life, Chu Chen took the divorce papers he'd prepared long ago to confess the truth. But by chance, he saw Si Yue standing with his back to him, bare from the waist up.
Staring at the familiar scars, Chu Chen immediately tore the divorce papers to shreds.
Chu Chen: Damn, I think I mistook him for someone else and thanked the wrong person!
Si Yue turned around and held out a divorce agreement. "Divor..."
Chu Chen smiled and greeted him with, "Hi, hubby!"
Si Yue: "?"
Later, Si Yue asked Chu Chen, "Do you remember what happened when we took the kid on that dating show?"
Chu Chen denied it guiltily. "I don't remem..."
Si Yue said darkly, "I'm the cat you had in your arms."
Chu Chen: "..."
Thinking of all the ridiculous things he'd done, including but not limited to beating the hell out of Si Yue's younger brother, trading barbs with Si Yue's mother, angering Si Yue's father so badly he ended up in the hospital, and crawling around the house in a deranged, twisted, gloomy fit, Chu Chen felt his scalp go numb and wailed inwardly: It's over. Heaven wants him dead! He'd offended his lover's entire family, except for himself!
Si Yue said cheerfully, "Not bad. Keep it up."
Chu Chen: "?" It's over. He's driven Si Yue insane!
His younger brother rushed in with reporters after hearing the news. Seeing the two of them embracing, his eyes widened in shock: So he was the sucker all along!
One-on-one, both pure, mutually devoted, silly and sweet romance. The kid is their biological child.
