The Cold Beauty Hypnotized by a Madman

[Same-Universe Story: "I Became Empathically Linked to My Archenemy's Adult Game"]

[Psychotic, on-the-run top from a mental hospital x aloof, alluring bottom]

Meeting Chen Chu was an accident for Shen Di. At the time, the beautiful young man was living in an old apartment building. He had simply opened his window to air out the room when his eyes happened to meet Shen Di's as he walked by.

Shen Di fell for him. He moved into the apartment across from his and gazed at him through their windows.

Just as Shen Di proactively contacted the young man's company to discuss a partnership, specifically requesting that the young man be their point of contact, he thought they would naturally get to know each other, meet, and fall in love. Then he gained a special ability.

As long as any living creature met his gaze for ten seconds, he could hypnotize it.

His first test subject was a vicious wolfdog. After being hypnotized, it rolled around at his feet, acting sweet.

His second test subject...

Was this pristine, untouchable flower.

He succeeded. They were just like an affectionate couple. In private, the aloof young man would wrap his arms around Shen Di's neck and sweetly act cute for him.

Everything went smoothly.

Shen Di was easily captivated by this false sweetness.

But the ability had one condition that would end it:

The hypnotized subject couldn't leave his sight. Otherwise, the hypnosis would end.

So he could only keep his eyes on him, on his new wife.

Later, Shen Di learned that hypnosis came at a price.

The more he used it, the less he could endure the physical pain. His vision blurred with a red haze, but he didn't even dare close his eyes, afraid he would lose the young man's company in his most agonizing moments.

He clutched the young man's hand, trying to draw a little comfort from it.

Looking at his "wife," whose whole heart and gaze belonged to him, Shen Di knew he could no longer accept a life without "him."

Their love was fake.

Even the "Chen Chu" he'd fallen for was only a personality created by hypnosis.

Everything between them was built on lies and concealment.

But he had to endure the pain and keep drinking poison to quench his thirst.

Content warnings:

1. An obsessive, deeply doting bottom's perspective. The top is mentally unstable and prone to extreme fantasies.

2. The top has breakdowns and hurts himself. The bottom is a source of salvation for him. Mild training themes.

3. "Hypnosis" is a fictional, high-tech treatment. The bottom knows about it and cooperates willingly.

4. A short story written to indulge specific kinks. Don't overanalyze the logic. Set in a fictional world, so don't apply real-world values to the characters. The leads are law-abiding citizens.

5. Both leads are sexually inexperienced and faithful to each other. Not for readers who are possessive about characters. Full of melodrama, not a sweet romance!!!

--Completed story in the same universe: "I Became Empathically Linked to My Archenemy's Adult Game"--

"Lover in Your Palm" is a 21+ adult game that their company plans to release overseas. The game generates a lover's appearance automatically from the player's preferences from the start, and the character can interact with items in the sidebar.

As the CEO of the company developing the game, Bo Yan naturally has the fully unlocked version.

The company really has done a great job with big data and intelligent systems. The handsome young man the game generated suited his tastes to a tee.

In the game, the "lover" is a shy young man who buys a gaming pod one day and becomes empathically linked to the "player" beyond the screen.

To make the dating experience more realistic, the game also randomly assigns character traits, such as...

"I'm done playing!"

His pretty boy has quite a temper. Sometimes he takes off his sensory gear in the game just to be mean and make Bo Yan unable to find him.

Highlights:

1. The bottom shares sensations with the top through a game. The story is told from the top's perspective to suit the worldbuilding.

2. A short story without much logic. Don't overanalyze the bugs. Getting this past review was hard, so I won't fix typos. Once it's locked, there's no getting back in, so please bear with me!

Theme: He's wonderful, and I love him so much
