Any Stories With a Protagonist Whose Mental State Is Unstable and on the Verge of a Breakdown?

Yeah, some angst early on is fine, as long as it doesn't mess with my sense of right and wrong. Then give me the ex-chasing-her-to-hell arc later, but don't make it too extreme.

It's really good \(//∇//)\, so sweet! But people with low tear thresholds might be moved by the protagonist's background. President Jiang is always gentle and affectionate, waiting for Chongchong for three years. When he knows Chongchong has been wronged, he patiently comforts him.
This is a really good book. When I first read the synopsis, I was prepared for some heart-wrenching moments, but the fact that the story starts with a reunion is so captivating that it's hard not to fall in love with it 😢 Gu Chong was like a kitten that shut itself off, resisting the world and hating himself, but fortunately he met Jiang Xu.
I've categorized this book under the "Simple and Ordinary is True" group. Their relationship is actually quite ordinary; aside from the kidnapping, there aren't any major upheavals or emotional angst. I genuinely laughed and cried during the book. Jiang Xi's love is truly admirable; he genuinely loves his young pianist. The young pianist's suffering is heartbreaking.
It's so good! Gu Chong and Jiang Xu's love story made me cry so much 😢 Gu Chong is so heartbreaking, but thankfully he has Jiang Xu. Jiang Xu is so gentle; he uses love to guide his young pianist step by step out of the shadows of the past. Similarly, Gu Chong also deeply loves Jiang Xu, so he's willing to move on, to become a better person, and to love Jiang Xu even more.
I haven't finished reading it yet (only up to chapter 17), but it's really amazing. Jiang Xu is very gentle and understands his partner well enough. Gu Chong is timid yet bold and self-aware, but also insecure. Jiang Xu's understanding and warmth melt away Gu Chong's heart. Despite Gu Chong's continued rejection, Jiang Xu didn't give up.
A very, very gentle book! Jiang Xu loved Gu Chong very much and slowly guided him out of the shadows and towards the light. Gu Chong loves Jiang Xu very much and is willing to take the initiative to get treatment for him, and to love himself a little more for him.
I especially love this book by Birdbird. Jiang Xu's love for Gu Chongchong is truly admirable. Birdbird's descriptions of emotions are very delicate. Each time Birdbird finishes a story, she adds a little scene at the end, making it feel like they really live in our world. Finally, I wish Jiang Xu and Gu Chongchong a long and happy life together, forever and ever! 💕
Hahaha, I finished it in one night! This book is totally my cup of tea. I usually read books that are at least 500,000 words long, but recently I suddenly wanted to read some stories with a fast-paced plot, and this one is perfect for me! The seme is really gentle.
Honestly, this book completely shattered my expectations. I used to think short stories couldn't portray emotions well, but this book, with only about 60 pages, beautifully conveys their relationship. I truly didn't expect the author's writing to be so good.
It's visually appealing and easy to immerse yourself in. The story is simple yet engaging, with a compelling plot. The pacing is brisk and fast-paced. The portrayal of depression is very realistic; you can feel Gu Chong's fear. He's afraid of cats, afraid of blood, and he loves his family and Jiang Xu. He's a very simple person, yet he carries so much burden.
