My Ex-Boyfriend Is Moody and Unpredictable

Childhood friends | Second chances | A dog who insists on being disciplined | A touch of romantic rivalry

Cool, controlling girl tyrant × stubborn, gloomy, lovesick man who won't admit his feelings

-

Xu Fu thinks she was born to spend her life soothing other people.

After losing her job and returning to her hometown, she has just finished comforting a young intern over the phone when her ex-boyfriend, whom she hasn't seen in years, blocks her at her front door and starts making snide remarks.

“So you're just giving up like this?”

“Just as easily as you gave up on me back then, right?”

Xu Fu slowly looks up.

The pure, innocent boy from her memories is nowhere to be seen. In his place is a trendy guy dressed in post-apocalyptic fashion, sporting flashy earrings.

Su Huizhou's downturned eyes are coldly indifferent to her, as if even looking at her is a bother.

Xu Fu is bewildered. “But back then... weren't you the one who broke up with me?”

All of Su Huizhou's bitterness and resentment get caught in his throat at those words.

*

From the age of thirteen to twenty-three, Su Huizhou was completely spoiled by Xu Fu.

Xu Fu was the one who reached for his hand first, after all, Su Huizhou thinks, feeling aggrieved.

His father gambled, his mother was ill, and his classmates gossiped. From childhood onward, Xu Fu was always the one standing in front of him.

So when they had finally managed to get together, how could Xu Fu send him overseas?

In a fit of anger, Su Huizhou broke up with her, then got mad all over again when Xu Fu didn't try to stop him.

Love and desire turned into resentment, and resentment grew into obsession.

*

Thrilled to land a job through her ex-boyfriend's direct offer, Xu Fu moves into his spacious apartment that very night.

Come on, hesitating for even a second would be disrespectful to the paycheck.

Until Su Huizhou sleepwalks in the middle of the night and suddenly appears beside Xu Fu's bed.

Xu Fu is terrified. Oh no, he's come to take her life.

But the ex-boyfriend who keeps everyone at arm's length during the day bends down, wraps his arms around Xu Fu, and pulls her tightly against him.

*

“Let's get back together.”

Before her stubborn lover can say a word, Xu Fu sees through him and grants the wish he can't bring himself to voice.

Su Huizhou's cold, downturned eyes instantly widen like a cat's. He stammers for ages, then turns and runs away.

-

What's wrong now, young master?

-

“Only after they reunited did Xu Fu realize that her ex-boyfriend was actually an independent person with a mind of his own.”

“It's not fair. You're the one in control of every bit of love and hate.”

You don't say it, so how could I know? vs. I know, so there's no need to say it.

The vibe in one sentence: [The male lead's love, hatred, and every other emotion are all controlled by the female lead. Even if she throws away his leash, he'll come back carrying it in his mouth, ask her why she abandoned him, and glare at her the whole time.]

Theme: Every emotion deserves to be acknowledged
