The Terrible Ex-Boyfriend of the Protagonist's Love Interest

Lu You was an unremarkable male college student. Then he awakened and discovered that the world was a danmei novel about tragic romance, and he was the male lead's awful ex-boyfriend. This ex-boyfriend could only be described as deeply sinful. He was fickle and selfish, and crushed the male lead's innocent young heart to pieces. He was the main reason the male lead turned cruel. The ending was even harder to put into words... * When Lu You awakened, the two of them had just gotten together. The male lead had an official pairing, after all, and his ex-boyfriend was just a cannon-fodder character. Naturally, the best thing to do would be to break up right away, but... The male lead was a young man from Miaojiang who raised Gu insects. He might be infinitely tolerant of his partner, but if Lu You tried to break up carelessly, he could end up with a love Gu, a life Gu, and a heart-piercing Gu, all in one go. * Lu You decided to ask the internet. #Help: How do I break up with a young man from Miaojiang without getting cursed with a Gu? # The replies varied wildly. Some people mocked Lu You for believing Gu magic existed, but there were also some useful answers. Playboy185: Hey, cold violence won't work. Ever heard of hot violence? 1. Cling to him every moment and make him lose his freedom. 2. Share every little detail, call him anytime and anywhere, and bombard him with calls if he doesn't reply in three minutes. Make him feel annoyed. 3. If you love him one part, show it tenfold! Control him in the name of love, restrict his freedom, and, most importantly, cling to him shamelessly without reading the room. Make him feel pressured to be with you. Playboy185: That way, just wait for him to reach his breaking point and ask to break up first. He might even feel guilty about it afterward. :) Yuzu Candy: Thanks, got it! * Jiang Hechuan felt something was off. He couldn't even focus on refining Gu anymore, because his boyfriend had been a little too cute lately. He kept telling him cute little things and clinging to him all soft and sweet. It was just that he seemed so insecure, always asking whether Jiang Hechuan loved him. Right, this wasn't his boyfriend's problem. It was his own! Before long, Yuzu Candy posted another new thread online: #I feel like my boyfriend is using hot violence on me. Should I just break up with him? # Lu You felt something was wrong. The male lead's love interest had already appeared, so why was the male lead still obsessing over him just because he accidentally liked a post about a guy with six-pack abs? He'd already said it was a misclick! Could they give each other a little privacy, please? [This is a fictional setting. Please do not relate it to real life.] Theme: Persevere! Work hard! Love life!
