Honey! Don’t Take the Medicine!

After his beloved’s death in a car accident, Xie Zhang spends every day with his lover’s violin, the tension in his heart stretched to the breaking point. Until one day, his shadow comes to life. The shadow likes to mold itself into different shapes in the sunlight; It urges him to go to bed early; It teases cats and dogs and then hides behind him with impunity; It can even play the violin quite well— Its playing style is identical to his lover’s. Xie Zhang accepts the reality that he is ill. Calmly, and matter-of-factly. Because… Xie Zhang stands in front of the mirror, watching the little shadow shape itself into a cat’s head, holding a brooch against his chest, his eyes filled with laughter and contentment. Look, his wish has been granted. His beloved will finally never be separated from him again. *** After the car accident, Song Jingmo wakes up to find himself turned into a shadow.

The next second, he watches in disbelief as Xie Zhang pours the medicine down the toilet, smiling and confessing his love to the shadow: “Don’t worry, darling, I will never leave you.” Song Jingmo: “…” Firstly, he is indeed Xie Zhang’s darling.
