I'm looking for BL recommendations where the MC and ML are ex-lovers. The MC left the ML because the ML was poor, had bad reputation or because the MC thought their relationship was holding him back from his dreams. So like after they broke up, the ML became successful while the MC is still poor and struggling. They met again and of course, the ML is angry and makes things difficult for the MC. MC feels guilty for leaving the ML so he accepted the revenge and tries to scr strong. But there's like a moment when the MC got fef up with the ML and finally let out his frustrations and vulnerable side. ML feels guilty and chases MC back blah blah blah
Doesn't have to exactly similar. As long as the MC left ML, and ML wants to get revenge.
These danmei novels, sort of? not exactly revenge but along the lines of they were lovers, bottom leaves for some reason, top is angry/makes things hard for them/acts cold and distant until the past is revealed and top feels the guilt
Asteroid (modern/showbiz)
Remnants of filth (historical fantasy)
Guanshan Muyu/Evening Rain on Guanshan mountain (historical)
bro, i thought the beginning was a backstory because he looks like a child. it took me a while to understand that it's a present time
