I Slept with My Ex Again After We Broke Up

Jiang Xing has been in the entertainment industry for ten years, rising from obscurity to become a hugely popular award-winning actor. At the lowest point in his career, he starts dating a younger man.

His boyfriend is six years younger, outgoing, sweet, and easy to like. He's clingy without realizing it, often dropping everything to follow Jiang Xing wherever he's filming.

The younger man doesn't want their relationship to go public, and they've kept it well hidden.

Until Jiang Xing wins the Best Actor crown and is exposed for trading sex for roles.

The man is six years younger than him, comes from a wealthy family, and is the apple of everyone's eye.

Their secret relationship is dragged into the open. The younger man's mother comes to see him and spells out the consequences, making it clear that Jiang Xing shouldn't hold her son back and should know what to do.

Only then does Jiang Xing learn that the Xie family is about to arrange a marriage for him, and understand why their relationship began.

On their third anniversary, Jiang Xing decides to end things with Xie Jingkai for good.

He has no intention of dragging things out, and doesn't want to lose his dignity.

Young Master Xie prides himself on living freely and never bowing to anyone.

Jiang Xing is his first lover. But Jiang Xing knows how to behave, and Xie Jingkai is satisfied with him, so he goes along with everything. And then... they end up together for this long.

On their third anniversary, Xie Jingkai finally prepares a handmade gift for Jiang Xing. Before he can give it to him, Jiang Xing breaks up with him, bluntly and without mercy, humiliating him.

He keeps a blank face and agrees at once, declaring that he'll find someone new right away.

Jiang Xing doesn't comfort him like he usually does. He only says, "May everything go your way."

Months after the breakup, Xie Jingkai parties all night, makes headlines in every possible way, treats life like a game, and is surrounded by rumors.

Xie Jingkai is certain Jiang Xing will be the first to give in.

Then one night, the words "Actor Jiang's boyfriend" shoot to the top of the trending list. He clicks on the widely shared photo. It isn't him.

Xie Jingkai can't get through to Jiang Xing, so he races to his home in the middle of the night, making enough noise to wake the neighbors.

Xie Jingkai doesn't start a fight with Jiang Xing. It happens to be Jiang Xing's heat, and there's no one else in the house. All his anger turns into something else, and he keeps Jiang Xing occupied all night.

Early the next morning, as soon as Jiang Xing wakes up, Xie Jingkai sneers, "Your boyfriend isn't even around during your heat, and this is supposed to be the ultimate couple?"

Jiang Xing: "...Why are you here?"

Xie Jingkai moves closer on his own, clinging to his hand and looking up at him. "Well, now you've slept with your ex. What are you going to do about it?"
