SPOILER BELOW — the exposed tiddies! im finally seeing xie jianwei and the Biggest Drama Queen lu li in the flesh! WAITING FOR JANUARY 17TH!!! read novel @ novel update, same title
mf xjw past reminds me of nina and alexander from fma,, *holds back tears* this story have a weird setting tho. its multi realms, then we have those dreams, and the "personality split" of ml isnt explained v well so youll find urself confused. that was in the novel, not sure how theyll give it justice in the manhua. also the dog blood drama can be exhausting (dog blood - use to describe sth that is either ridiculous, unbelievably cliche, or exaggerated) but despite the misunderstanding, the chara development wont disappoint! the author focused more on that and their bg stories to flesh out the main charas. the title can be a bit misleading tho bc its not rlly abt their divorce. itll be mentioned at some point but its not rlly that significant or the focus of the story lol. also forgot to say, CW for noncon, rape in one of the arcs. i'll put it in spoilers
➤ The Marshal, Lu Li, started a new intergalactic era alongside his lover and military adviser, Xie Jianwei. The entire universe envied their steadfast love. It was only until one day, the Marshal had his personalities split. His personalities were unable to recall anything, and all wanted to monopolise Xie Jianwei. They were jealous to the point of wanted to get rid of "themselves". In order to cure his lover, Xie Jianwei entered each and every one of Lu Li's dreams to fuse his personalities together, which had been split earlier on. He didn't expect that in all the dreams, he would be engaging in a fanciful love with Lu Li...

For concerns:
- Spoiler: The noncon part of the story (from user LustHan)
the fact that there was noncon in the Doctor arc was very annoying even though the ML was the only one thinking it’s noncon lol and it’s all a dream so it could be explained in different ways but it’s a a fact that ML didnt get consent here
- Spoiler: Worried about yandere ML? (from user Emmitouflee)
It is a bit of a running theme that the ML does at every turn want to keep the MC locked away but the MC wants to be able to do nothing and just hang out with the ML all day anyways so the MC frequently wishes the ML would just lock him up already but the ML always reins in his yandere wishes because he can't stand seeing the MC unhappy and frequently worries about the MC not being able to spread his wings.
- Spoiler: MC always satisfying ML's needs? (from user Emmitouflee)
Thats not the case at all, the situation gets reverses near the end of the book with the ML helping the MC and in the end the MC realizes it wasn't right to stop working entirely and give all the responsibilities to the ML so the MC and ML return to being a duo force to be reckon with in their political realm.
---------------------
- Spoiler: How many worlds are there? (from user two)
I don't remember everything, but there's: brother-in-laws, ceo|lover, underage patient|doctor, actor|patron, chef|picky eater, vampire|human+vampire lord (2 MLs), replacement for ML's crush, reaper|skeleton+fallen archangel, contractor|demon, blood-related brothers, king|pet panda, and orphan|devil cultivator.
And there's another couple, ML's doctor and the General who's ML's right hand man. Their side stories are really cute as well.
- Spoiler: What is the reason for ML's split personalities? Is he insecure of XJW's love towards him? (from user two)
When Lu Li defeated the Hundred Limbs alien king (probably a centipede?), it didn't die. It did turn really weak, so it burrowed inside him to manipulate him from the inside out. It latched on to his consciousness, and caused ML's split personality. With each new personality, a new "it" was born as well. Gross ik. But ML was super strong, so it attacked ML's biggest weakness. You're right that it was his insecurity. LL has really low self-esteem when it comes to XJW, since XJW was ridiculously good-looking. When he saw XJW for the first time he thought an angel had descended down from heaven or sth smh.
- Spoiler: The "divorce" part (from user two)
The divorce bit is because after MC successfully whittle the split personalities down to four, Lu Li #1 disguises as #2, #2 disguises as #4, #4 disguises as #1, and they all go to MC to demand for a divorce, to make MC hate everyone but themselves. #3 wins in the end.
- Spoiler: At the end, was it only #3 personality left? (from user two)
Even when XJW successfully combined all the ML's personality, the bug didn't die either. XJW convinced LL of his feelings, so the bug didn't have any weaknesses to hold on to. It proposed a trade off. It wanted to switch from LL to XJW, he agreed. When LL went inside XJW's dream to kill the bug, he saw that there were 3 other him as well. He was so pissed about being dubbed #3 by the other LLs xDD So #3 was the real LL, the other 3 were just the bug manipulating the dream.
- Spoiler: ML is alone in the planet? What is his background? Why is he alone there? And is it true that Xie family was involved in the alien invasion? Why would they do that? (from user two)
The very last arc reveals that LL was an immortal devil cultivator in his past life. Because of the stigma that comes with devil cultivators, in the name of righteousness a Daoist(?) possessed his then lover's (parallel world XJW) body, and used XJW to stab LL. XJW and LL both got severely injured, but LL went to a healer and begged him to save XJW instead. The healer said he couldn't be saved, but could be reborn anew using a forbidden art. But for every moment of XJW's life, LL would have to trade for it with unimaginable pain. Of course he agrees. LL raised the little bun up, but the cultivators came back to finish them. In his past life, iirc LL couldn't save both of them, XJW was dead, LL got severely injured. He went nuts and found a loophole to travel to an alternate world where XJW still exists.
He landed on the unknown planet, where he was raised by his adopted grandma, but wiped of all his memories because of the higher existences deemed him too powerful. And met XJW.
I forgot the reason why Xie Family and the aliens work together, but XJW's mom and dad were really crazy people. They experimented on a lot of humans to find out how to get S-class powers for themselves, even XJW's two bros weren't spared. He was spared because he had unwittingly helped them progress with their research since he was 7. At that age, all he wanted was his parents' love, and so did everything his mother told him to. His mother would pretend and say the research was for children with rare diseases. He'd always had a hunch of what's going on. When he was 17, smart as he is, he couldn't stand the guilt anymore and found their research lab. Then he saw his two older brothers alive but living a fate worse than animals, with ten arms and legs and face all deformed, begging him to kill them. So he killed his entire family and destroyed the lab. Then he ran away and fell on the unknown planet where LL was, and the story comes full circle.
- Spoiler: chapter 1 (from user two)
- After being tossed around on the bed til he couldn't stand up, XJW finally got his husband LL leave on his business trip.
- XJW met up with a soldier named Bai Yun. BY thought about XJW's past. XJW had SSS-class mental strength, and S-class physique. With his abilities, he did many incredible things for humanity. Not to mention how he was the top Xie family's third young master.
- 3 years after the Galactic Federation collapsed, the Xie family was discovered to be in cahoots with the alien invaders.
- Xie family fell to ruin. XJW went missing.
- 1 year later, the Hundred Limbs aliens were defeated by LL and XJW's private army.
- They established the new Empire. LL came into power as marshal, the most powerful person in the galaxy. XJW as his strategist in the war would've been the #2 leader. But he quit, just stayed at home, for unknown reasons.
- BY flew XJW to LL's secret lab. XJW there saw an exact clone of LL's body soaked in a cylindrical tank, without any consciousness.
- XJW had long noticed LL's strange behaviour, and inferred that LL had multiple personalities.
- LL planned to transfer the other personalities to that clone and kill them all. (since LL is the vinegar lord, he gets jealous that the other hims get some screen time with XJW lel. If one personality comes out, the other falls asleep. But they are essentially the same person.)
- XJW did not want LL to hurt himself.
- He video-called Doctor Yan Ke, psychology specialist and told him of what he found. YK told him to use his SSS-class power to enter LL's subconscious world, and find out the cause of the personality split.
- Spoiler: chapter 2 (from user two)
- XJW and YK planned to meet at Marshal Estate at 9PM.
- LL rushed back when he heard news of XJW trip to the Lab.
- XJW seduced him. LL got no resistance to anything XJW, and XJW knocked him out when they were doing it to take him for "therapy". (he will be knock out so many more times like this lol. how "frustrating" would that be.)
- Yan Ke said XJW and LL could be strangers in LL's world. They started the treatment.
- When XJW entered Lu Li's dream, he was at what seemed to be his own wedding.
- Only it was with a woman.
- Lu Li was the bride's brother, making him XJW's "big brother-in-law".
- Only LL was an orphan and didn't have a little sister.
- And LL and XJW were married for Pete's sake.
- XJW thought he needed to have a nice long talk to LL this husband of his, and what the hell was the "appeal" about brothers-in-law?
- Spoiler: chapter 3 (from user two)
- In the scenario, LL's been in love with XJW for a long time. When he worked up the courage to confess, his sister told him XJW proposed and that they were getting married.
- By the time the wedding ended, LL got drunk, thinking that by this time XJW would be with Lu Qingqing his sister...
- XJW appeared, and offered to help him up. LL thought he was dreaming.
- Carrying LL, XJW fell he said. He sat right on LL's lap, plastered on LL's chest, butt on LL's thigh... They spent XJW's wedding night together. The bride had been knocked out cold by XJW's ancient martial arts.
- The morning after, LL panicked. He finally discovered everything wasn't a dream. He did that kind of things in this kind of place with his brother-in-law. XJW confessed and struck the final blow: "Lu Li, I'm in love with you."
- The world collapsed, rejecting XJW.
- Yan Ke asked XJW why he came back so fast. After the failure, Lu Li's personalities had increased from 4 to 6.
- The reason was because LL was convinced XJW had never loved him, and it was only due to pity that he stayed with him.
- Since LL believed it was so, to prevent another world collapsing, XJW had to harden his heart. He had to reverse the meaning of all the words he wanted to say, and act like he had never loved LL.
The author's notes:
Together, let’s play all kinds of PLAY~(≧▽≦)~ This will be an abnormal sweet little novel, muah muah muah!
- About LL being a drama queen:
Dream LL doesn't have any memories about real XJW. The dream is all a figment of his imagination, the setting that XJW was his brother-in-law also wasn't real.
XJW also had just married LL's (fictional) little sister. So how can LL believe that XJW was in love with him? He was reaally drunk so he thought he pushed down XJW instead of it being consensual. Sorry if I didn't make it clear.
