What Should I Do About My Boyfriend's Split Personality?

My new serial, The Days I Was Secretly Loved by a Cross-Dressing Master, is underway. You're welcome to read and save it~

Chen Mu debuted at twenty, became famous at twenty-five, and reached the peak of his career at twenty-eight.

Before he could even catch his breath, he died in a car accident and suddenly found himself back at twenty-three, when he was still a professional bit-part actor.

Chen Mu, who had been a workaholic ever since entering the entertainment industry, said: My heart is exhausted. I worked so hard to build my career, and now I have to start all over again... Good heavens, would you look at what you're doing?!!!

But when bad luck strikes, nothing can stop it, especially when you've climbed to the top only to be knocked back down

He woke up to find a strange man lying beside him. The man said it was his first time and demanded that Chen Mu take responsibility.

Chen Mu, who felt like he was about to fall apart: "...But it was my first time too!" And he was the one who'd taken it! What, was he the only one who'd never done it before?

The other man thought for just a second before replying decisively, "Then I'll take responsibility for you."

Chen Mu: "..."

As if having a boyfriend out of nowhere wasn't enough, Chen Mu suddenly gained the ability to read minds and discovered that the guy was also a total split personality

The two of them were watching TV together when Gu Shen told him to stop sitting so close because it was hot.

Chen Mu was about to move away when the hand next to him heard Gu Shen's inner voice complaining: "Why aren't you sitting on my lap?"

Chen Mu: ...?

.

Gu Shen came to visit him on set and was extremely dissatisfied with the conditions there.

Gu Shen: "You've been acting for three years. How are you still a nobody in the eighteenth tier?"

Chen Mu heard him seriously thinking to himself: Should I invest in his next project too? That way, he could easily become a first- or second-tier star.

Chen Mu: ...You really are willing to spend.

.

The two of them got into an argument over some trivial matter.

Gu Shen: "You're getting mad over this too? Have I spoiled you rotten? Get out!"

Chen Mu turned to leave, but Gu Shen clutched his wrist tightly. He heard him repeating in his mind: I'm sorry. I was wrong. Don't go.

Chen Mu: ...Do you really have to say one thing and mean another?

Chen Mu stayed up all night asking the internet: What should I do about a boyfriend with such a split personality?! Please help! It's urgent!!!

Netizens: When someone's boyfriend has a mental illness like that, we usually encourage them to break up.

Chen Mu, using a secret identity: No, no, he's... (with examples of all the situations above)

Netizens: ...Everyone who's showing off their relationship, get lost!!!

Here's the blurb for my new story:

When Liang Jue thought back to his first impression of Xie Xun, he remembered hearing countless rumors in his second year of high school that Xie Xun from Class Nine in the opposite building had a crush on him.

But Xie Xun was a guy.

Liang Jue was a guy too, and a handsome, cool straight guy. He didn't understand this niche sexual orientation, but he respected it.

But Xie Xun came up so often when his friends teased him that he started getting annoyed.

So Liang Jue cornered the supposedly lovestruck Xie Xun by the back gate of the school. He was a little surprised to find that Xie Xun looked like an ordinary high school boy, and a pretty one at that.

But that was where Liang Jue's impression of him ended. He cornered him, his expression and tone both cool, and asked, "Do you like me?"

Xie Xun blushed. Before he could say a word, Liang Jue continued, "Don't like me. I don't like guys."

Liang Jue walked away. As he turned, he heard Xie Xun's quiet reply. It wasn't "okay," but "oh."

What did "oh" mean? Liang Jue wasn't interested, and Xie Xun really did disappear from his high school life.

Liang Jue quickly forgot about the whole episode. Later, when he ran into Xie Xun again outside the same dormitory building on the day they started university, he didn't even recognize him.

When he heard Xie Xun's name, he finally matched it to his memory. Liang Jue never read too much into things, so he just thought it was quite a coincidence.

The next time he saw Xie Xun, Liang Jue still thought he was very pretty. As time passed, he added "you're everywhere" to his impressions, then "part of that niche group with a cross-dressing fetish."

As he got to know him better, Xie Xun became simply "Xie Xun" again, then gradually acquired more fantastical descriptions: "a little dumb," "a stutterer," "cute," and so on.

Finally, he became Liang Jue's boyfriend, Xie Xun.

People who knew them said Xie Xun was so persistent and clingy that it was unbelievable he had actually managed to win Liang Jue over.

Only Liang Jue himself didn't see it that way. Xie Xun's good qualities didn't need explaining to outsiders. It was enough that he knew them himself.

Xie Xun didn't actually have a cross-dressing fetish. The boy he liked was straight and had clearly told him he didn't like guys, hoping to make him give up.

Xie Xun remembered that the first time he and Liang Jue crossed paths, he had been wearing a skirt and dressed as a girl. Liang Jue apparently hadn't realized he was a guy at all, and had even lent him his school jacket when he was drenched and miserable from the heavy rain.

After Liang Jue rejected him to his face, Xie Xun took the lesson to heart. It didn't matter if he didn't like guys. I can learn to wear women's clothes and pretend to be a girl, and I can become the kind of person he likes.

And so he never turned back from the path of becoming a cross-dressing master.

Even after they started university, Xie Xun was thin but nearly six feet three, so he looked a little ridiculous in women's clothes. Yet Liang Jue still didn't seem to notice anything was off, and even let him gradually get closer, testing the waters.

Of course, it turned out that Liang Jue, who was still straight even after becoming his boyfriend, wasn't actually blind. He had simply remained the same soft-hearted gentleman he'd been at their first meeting.
