I Broke Up with My Scumbag Ex After I Became Mentally Ill

(The ex's long road to win them back) Zhong Siyu is a well-known lovesick fool in the entertainment industry. He devoted everything to making Ji Huai famous, but got nothing in return. He was demoted from manager to assistant, and eventually became the little clingy lover of Ji Huai that everyone looked down on. Because he loved him too much. The award-winning actor Ji Huai showed him no respect. Right in front of him, he introduced him to someone else by saying, "Siyu's a useless little thing." Zhong Siyu would even nod sweetly and say, "Hello, everyone. I'm the useless little thing." The astonished, contemptuous looks from others couldn't shake Zhong Siyu, because he knew in his heart that Ji Huai loved him. Then one day, Zhong Siyu woke up and saw a progress bar above Ji Huai's head. It read: Affection 30%. Not quite friends. Zhong Siyu was stunned. Ji Huai didn't love him after all!!! Zhong Siyu packed his things and broke up with Ji Huai. The award-winning actor Ji Huai lost all composure and chased after him everywhere like a madman. To enjoy a few peaceful days, Zhong Siyu accepted a contract offer from the company and became an actor, officially Ji Huai's junior in the industry. The affection meter was incredibly useful. Zhong Siyu left the house and realized it wasn't raining outside. His manager liked him, the director liked him, the project lead liked him, and even the cleaning lady liked him far more than Ji Huai's pitiful 30%. Nobody called him a useless little thing anymore. Nobody hit him in bed, and nobody complained that his cooking tasted awful or that his many allergies were too much trouble. A crowd of fans came flocking to him, saying he was cute, dedicated, and a genius. Ever since I got a mental illness, I've been feeling so much better! Zhong Siyu thought with satisfaction. He ignored Ji Huai's glare as Ji Huai forced his way into the film crew and stared at him as if he wanted to tear him limb from limb. "This is just a hallucination. Or perhaps a concrete expression of how you're feeling psychologically," the doctor said. "No, it's real," Zhong Siyu insisted. The doctor said helplessly, "People can't read one another's minds. Even if it really is an 'affection score,' it's something your subconscious has concluded from the other person's words and actions. Have you been taking your medication on time?" "I've been taking it..." After his usual appointment, Zhong Siyu went to eat lunch on the rooftop. Unexpectedly, Ji Huai was waiting there. Above his head was a progress bar showing 43% affection. In just two months, Ji Huai had become so haggard he no longer looked like the energetic award-winning actor he used to be. His eyes were bloodshot. "Oh my god, what will it take for you to believe that I really love you, not some stupid progress bar?! Just stab me, honey. Would that make you feel better...?" Ji Huai alternated between angrily blaming him and humbly almost falling to his knees. Zhong Siyu thought Ji Huai looked more like the one with a mental illness. Zhong Siyu crouched down and stroked Ji Huai's face as he knelt on the ground. His stubble was a little scratchy. "Even if I believe you love me, I don't love you anymore." Zhong Siyu said pityingly. "Maybe you should try taking some medicine too." #The sweetest demeanor, the coldest rejection #A semi-entertainment-industry story, with the people of this world happily following the drama #1v1, HE, both leads are flawed and heal each other! #The road to winning him back is long, but there's no changing the gong, yay!!! #Thank you so much for the follows and saves!!!
