Alien On Earth

A Taiwanese porn star, Yowei, his brutally honest memoir about depression, drug addiction, sex, survival, and learning to save himself.

To you, reading this book description:

This is a memoir from an alien.

I know it sounds absurd. Laughable. But I've always felt like I don't belong on this planet.

Born in Taiwan. Became a household-name internet porn star in my early twenties. Everyone thinks I'm frivolous, easy, slutty—because that's exactly the image I sell online.

But the truth is, what my fans don't know is that inside my head, I'm constantly battling my melancholy and my libido. And I don't know what to do about it. Then, on the verge of collapse, inspiration arrived like a summoning. I started writing this book.

I thought, if I untangle my stories, maybe I could find the source of my melancholy and my libido.

Forty-five memories. Forty-five confessions.

There's too much shame in this book. Too much truth. Too much trauma. I can almost guarantee—you won't feel great while reading it.

But miraculously, this book truly saved me.

So, if you've also encountered this book and are reading these words right now—

Let me walk this unprecedented journey with you.
