Break Up with Him, and I'll Take Care of You

Qi Fang is a bona fide rich second-generation heir. Trained in dance, he is exceptionally gifted, with a striking figure and a gorgeous face that everyone envies. When he shines onstage, he looks like a work of art, radiating an ethereal coolness.

But once he leaves the stage, he becomes someone else entirely: carefree and debauched, roaming the city’s nightlife districts. With a face that looks like it belongs to someone untouched by worldly concerns, one smile is enough to leave people spellbound.

Recently, Qi Fang set his sights on a cold, handsome guy from the medical university next door.

He learned that the guy was a rare academic star, famous across the whole school for his looks and a perennial number one on the list of men female students most wanted to marry. Poor but ambitious, serious, quiet, and dull, he was always dressed in a white lab coat or white shirt, buttoned all the way to the top. And he had a boyfriend.

Qi Fang took a drag on a long, thin mint cigarette and said dismissively, “Just wait. I’ll have him wrapped around my finger in less than a month.”

A couple of days later, Qi Fang caught him near the lab and got straight to the point. “Hello, Liang Jiaming. I’m Qi Fang. I like you.”

Liang Jiaming frowned and rejected him coldly. “I have a boyfriend.”

Qi Fang didn’t care, smiling brightly. “That’s fine. Break up with him, and I’ll take care of you.”

Qi Fang, who had never lost in love, finally came up short with Liang Jiaming.

Seeing that this was one obstacle he just couldn’t get past, Qi Fang waved goodbye and headed abroad.

To his surprise, five years later, Liang Jiaming cornered him in a restroom after they ran into each other.

The man was tall and broad-shouldered with a narrow waist. His suit outlined his perfect figure as he restrained both of Qi Fang’s hands and pinned him against the door. His voice was hoarse as he said, “Qi Fang, give me your phone number.”

The young man smiled. “No.”

Liang Jiaming never imagined that Qi Fang would become the cinnabar mole he loved but could never have.

Every time he thought of him, it felt like being scraped by a blade ten thousand times.

Qi Fang/Fang Fang VS Liang Jiaming

Rich heir and poor student

A naturally reckless player in love and a straight-laced elite academic

Young dancer and neurosurgeon

Uninhibited and chaste, unconventional and conservative

When they collide, sparks fly.

Content warnings:

1. Entirely fictional setting. The middle of the story involves melodramatic, over-the-top rich-family drama.

2. The gong doesn’t actually have a boyfriend; he’s pretending. The shou only starts “pursuing” him after finding this out. One-on-one romance throughout, happy ending.

3. The main characters aren’t perfect. Don’t read if that bothers you.

4. The financial and medical details differ considerably from reality and are entirely the author’s own invention.

I’ll add more if anything else comes to mind.

Theme: Everyone has a fire within them. Only the right person can set it free. Love can make us better versions of ourselves.
