Chinese Title: 迪奥先生

Common English Title: Mr. Dior
❤️ Main Relationship
Zhang Chenfei (张臣扉) × Jiao Qi (焦栖)
✨ Introduction
"Mr. Dior" is a modern danmei comedy novel by Lüye Qianhe (Green Wild Thousand Cranes) that masterfully blends humor, romance, and social commentary. The story follows the married life of two successful CEOs, Zhang Chenfei and Jiao Qi, whose stable seven-year relationship is turned upside down when Zhang suffers a car accident that damages his brain-computer interface (智脑).
The novel's core narrative revolves around Zhang Chenfei's "智脑紊乱综合症" (brain-computer disorder syndrome), which causes him to believe he's living in various popular "domineering CEO" novel scenarios he had previously downloaded. Each chapter presents a different trope - from "The CEO's Million-Dollar Bride" to "The Substitute Lover in a Wealthy Family" and "The Empire's Marshal" - forcing the practical and composed Jiao Qi to navigate his husband's increasingly absurd role-playing.
Beneath the surface-level comedy, the story explores the deepening of their relationship as Jiao Qi patiently humors Zhang's delusions while uncovering the genuine affection and insecurities driving his behavior. The progression moves from pure comedy to reveal layers of emotional depth, showing how even the most ridiculous situations can strengthen marital bonds.
🌏 Background
Set in a near-future society where technological advancement has led to the replacement of smartphones with implanted "智脑" (brain-computer interfaces), the world of "Mr. Dior" presents a society where same-sex marriage is legally recognized and normalized. The setting combines familiar corporate environments with futuristic elements, creating a backdrop that feels both contemporary and slightly advanced.
The central "mystery" isn't a traditional whodunit but rather the psychological puzzle of Zhang Chenfei's condition. As Jiao Qi navigates his husband's shifting personas, readers gradually learn about their past - Zhang's difficult family background with an absentee father focused on business, and Jiao Qi's own childhood experiences with neglectful caretakers that left him with stomach issues. These personal histories provide emotional weight to the comedic premise, explaining why each character reacts to the situation as they do.
The technological aspect of the "智脑" (brain-computer interfaces) serves as both plot device and social commentary, exploring how human relationships adapt to increasingly integrated technology while maintaining emotional authenticity.
