I'll Make My Ex Regret Looking Down on Me

Broken mirrors cannot be mended. All her friends knew that Zhai Xingmian had a girlfriend she loved deeply, so much so that she lost herself and was willing to give up a dream she'd pursued for over a decade. But she never regretted it. Whenever she talked about Shen Zhao, she always wore a sweet smile. By her account, Shen Zhao loved her just as much: gentle and considerate, romantic and attentive, one of the rarest good lovers in the world. Until one day. She heard Shen Zhao talking to a friend. "Like her? Are you kidding?" "I only got together with her because she looks like Xu Fei." "But she's such a nuisance. I just crook a finger, and she comes running." Shen Zhao lowered her eyes and smiled coldly. "She's like a lovesick puppy." At last, Zhai Xingmian understood. She stopped chasing after Shen Zhao and returned to the path her life should have taken. She left Shen Zhao just one message. We're breaking up. ++++++++++++++++ Years later Shen Zhao learned that her best friend, Jiang Qici, was appearing on a dating show for ordinary people. But when she tuned in, she spotted a familiar figure beside her. It was her first love, the one who had slipped away. Her heart stirred, and her lips curved into a smile. With a touch of self-assurance, she told her friend, "She must have come back to the country for me." She resolved to win Zhai Xingmian back. After their reunion, Zhai Xingmian's personality had changed completely. Whenever she saw Shen Zhao, she smiled as if nothing mattered, neither making a move nor turning her away. But whenever Shen Zhao got a call from her, she was over the moon. Her friend couldn't take it anymore and tried to talk sense into her. "Enough, Shen Zhao. She's playing you." Shen Zhao wouldn't believe it. "No way. She's just shy." Then one day, a video went viral everywhere. A thoroughly drunk Zhai Xingmian leaned against Jiang Qici's shoulder, languid and alluring as she breathed softly. Every breath landed squarely on Jiang Qici's heart. Beneath the turmoil in her blood lay a suppressed calm. Jiang Qici gazed down at her, then finally sealed her lips with a kiss. Shen Zhao was stunned. Note: The ex has to win her back, but the broken mirror will not be mended. After the breakup, she dates other women. Shen Zhao is not her endgame. Modern alternate universe, with plenty of authorial liberties. There are scenes of mutual dominance. Theme: Life comes only once, and we deserve the best.
