Come on, Let's Break Up

Zhou Yi x Li Jiangying / The love interest has to win her back later / Melodrama / Older woman-younger woman / A beginner's guide to romance and stepping on landmines

*“You just like my mom, don't you? I look so much like her, so why don't you just like me instead?”

Zhou Yi looked at the pouting high schooler and helplessly pulled the little tyrant closer, warning her, “What are you talking about?”

“Don't think I don't know anything.” The disrespectful high schooler glared at Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi did feel guilty, though.

*Zhou Yi was Li Jiangying's most satisfying discovery. Out of all the newcomers, Li Jiangying chose only her.

Zhou Yi lived up to her mentor's investment. Her very first film won her a newcomer award, and over the next five years she made it to the A-list.

Her friends all said Zhou Yi was lucky to have met a benefactor like Li Jiangying, who wasn't after her body and had no other demands.

What they didn't know was that Zhou Yi would rather not have Li Jiangying's pure admiration at all.

What admiration? The truth was, she just wasn't Li Jiangying's type.

At first, Zhou Yi could only watch all kinds of young actresses come and go at Li Jiangying's side. Even when it hurt, she had to hide her feelings.

She was afraid Teacher Li would discover her impure intentions and ulterior motives, and stop supporting her.

Now that she was famous and had some clout, Zhou Yi finally dared to confess to her while drunk at a company party.

In the dim night, Li Jiangying kissed her back.

After that, the whole company knew they were together, and Li Jiangying acknowledged it openly. Zhou Yi was immersed in the sweetness of their romance, thinking she was the happiest person in the world.

But in the end, she discovered that Li Jiangying had never cut ties with another woman. That woman was beautiful and elegant, with an innate grace in every gesture.

Zhou Yi argued with Teacher Li. For the first time, she acted so unreasonable in front of her. Li Jiangying stroked her hair and said,

“Be good, Yiyi. Let's break up.”
