Caught in a Love Triangle in an Infinite-Loop World

Blurb:

Neo, eighteen, young and full of energy, is a rising "movie star." He's sweet as tea and milk, a phenomenal actor, and beloved by everyone, young and old.

Zuo Jin, twenty-one, is a dark-skinned boxer with an outrageous tattoo sleeve and a bold nose ring. He's a careless delinquent with serious violent tendencies: if he can solve it with his fists, he won't waste words.

These two people seem to have nothing in common, yet they spend almost every day together, inseparable, because...

They're both alternate personalities split off from Xia Fanxing.

Xia Fanxing doesn't dislike his alternate personalities. In fact, he depends on them. But there's one "person" he loves most, the leader of all his alternate personalities: Ji Mo, meticulous and gentle, refined and considerate.

Xia Fanxing has never thought of Ji Mo as one of his alternate personalities.

Even though they can't feel each other's warmth in the real world, or hug or kiss, Xia Fanxing still firmly believes that Ji Mo is his boyfriend.

Until one day, the psychiatrist at the mental hospital says that all of Xia Fanxing's split personalities must be erased so he can return to society and become a normal, ordinary person.

Xia Fanxing starts to panic.

At last, after several of them work together to escape the hospital, Xia Fanxing comes across a cruise ship sailing in international waters: the Dream-Maker.

They say that anyone who completes the many trials aboard the ship can have one wish granted.

Remembering the terror he'd felt when he nearly lost Ji Mo before, Xia Fanxing doesn't hesitate for even a moment. He completely ignores everyone's attempts to stop him and boards the ship without a second thought.

As one near-death trial follows another, nobody wants to team up with the pale, frail boy standing in the corner.

But Xia Fanxing doesn't need them to.

In the midst of danger, countless eyes witness the boy suddenly become someone else between one moment and the next.

He can knock down eight burly men with one blow, then suddenly collapse to the ground with a fragile look that even the NPCs can't help pitying.

Xia Fanxing: That's right, someone else took over!

There are four of us, so we don't need to team up with anyone~

And so he clears one challenge after another, victory within reach.

But just as he thinks he can finally kiss his beloved in the real world, the story starts taking a stranger and stranger turn...

It seems Ji Mo isn't the only one who likes him.

Why is Neo jealous? Even the short-tempered Zuo Jin has started acting coquettish with him?

Xia Fanxing: Help!

I just got out of the madhouse. How did I end up in a love polygon again?!

A pale, delicate beauty on the receiving end x a black-bellied thug in a suit, an obsessively doting husband who saves all his tenderness for his beloved (Ji Mo) & a short-tempered boxer with tattooed arms, a violent straight man (Zuo Jin) & a sweet, tea-loving younger puppy who everyone adores (Neo)

* Self-cest (?), I guess that counts. No cheating, happy ending.

* At first, the protagonist only likes Ji Mo, but every love interest has a huge crush on him. He's just too slow to pick up on it. In the end, the love interests will probably merge souls (though honestly, I'm still not sure qaq).

* Not a traditional survival-game story. The romance might take up a fairly large portion.
