The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend Novel

"The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend" by Nanxi Bu Xi tells the story of Gu Yuan, a wealthy and influential figure in the entertainment industry, and Chi Yu, a celebrated national film emperor. Once deeply in love, their relationship ended abruptly when Chi Yu, after years of being pampered and financially supported by Gu Yuan for his debut, left her. Gu Yuan, heartbroken and betrayed, moved on, becoming cold and resolute against romantic relationships. Meanwhile, Chi Yu, still admired for his charm, harbors deep regret and seeks Gu Yuan's forgiveness, his eyes reflecting a persistent longing by the sea. Gu Yuan, however, offers a harsh condition: he must jump into the sea and die. Unexpectedly, a video surfaces from a reality show, capturing Gu Yuan asleep on a tree while Chi Yu gazes at her with obvious affection. This footage ignites a fervent online reaction, initially met with denial but quickly escalating to overwhelming internet-wide shipping of the former couple. The novel explores a beautiful, wealthy heroine and a regretful hero determined to win back his wife.
