Does Your Boyfriend Know We're Like This?

[Update note: I'm sorry, everyone. I had some health and work problems over the past few months and couldn't update. This story also had no detailed outline, and after such a long break, once I'd dealt with everything, I couldn't get back into the right headspace to write. TT I'll learn from this and won't start another story without a detailed outline and a stockpile of chapters. I'm very sorry for wasting your time.

1.

Shen Nianzhen loses his memory in an accident.

When he wakes up, he's told that the handsome man sitting beside his hospital bed is his boyfriend.

His boyfriend is gentle and considerate, but has an abnormally strong need to control him.

Most importantly, his boyfriend always feels intensely unfamiliar to him.

That sense of unfamiliarity leaves Shen Nianzhen puzzled.

With little experience in love, Shen Nianzhen finds a relationship expert online.

The expert answers his questions for years, then finally reaches a conclusion: "He's not your destined match."

What is a destined match? Shen Nianzhen doesn't understand.

The question keeps troubling him until he meets Lu Yingshi.

2.

When they first meet, torrential rain leaves them under the same roof for 48 hours. Lu Yingshi openly shows his interest in Shen Nianzhen, and every move of his seems designed to seduce him.

What unsettles Shen Nianzhen even more is that Lu Yingshi feels strangely familiar, making him instinctively want to get close.

One time, while drunk and out of his senses, he accidentally ends up in bed with Lu Yingshi.

Shen Nianzhen breaks down. "Do you know what you're doing?"

"Of course." Lu Yingshi calmly helps him get dressed, without a trace of shame on his face. "If we're doing this... does your boyfriend know?"

Realizing he's sinking into a mire, Shen Nianzhen turns to the expert for help again.

While Lu Yingshi is showering, he calls the expert.

The instant the call connects, the phone on the table beside him starts vibrating.

Shen Nianzhen stares at the familiar chat window on Lu Yingshi's phone, frozen in place.

Shen Nianzhen is angry that Lu Yingshi deceived him, but he can't understand why.

That is, until he sees a photo in his alma mater's commemorative album.

In it, a much younger Shen Nianzhen is perched on Lu Yingshi's shoulders. Their smiles shine brighter than the sunlight spilling into the frame.

It turns out Lu Yingshi is the childhood friend who has been in love with him for years.

And his current boyfriend is just an impostor.

3.

Pei Min has been in a terrible mood lately because he was dumped out of nowhere.

Shen Nianzhen said he was breaking up with Pei Min because Pei Min didn't respect him.

But Pei Min thinks there's more to it. He believes someone must have brainwashed Shen Nianzhen.

After a brief flash of anger, Pei Min quickly calms down. First, he'll find the person who turned Shen Nianzhen against him.

With a little effort, Pei Min soon finds him.

On the day they confront each other, Pei Min stares at the man across from him in shock.

"What, you thought I was dead?" Lu Yingshi smiles, his voice dripping with mockery. "Was it fun dating him under my name?"

Unhinged, scheming man x spoiled, naturally shameless man

[Reader's Guide]

1. One-on-one romance, both are virgins, and Lu Yingshi is the love interest. Same-sex marriage is legal in this setting.

2. The bottom hasn't slept with his ex, but they have kissed and cuddled before. Don't read if that bothers you.

3. There are lots of rivalry scenes. The bottom has already asked his ex to break up when he and the top sleep together, and only gets together with the top after officially breaking up with his ex.
