There must be a problem with my popularity

Che Qiu Yuan’s confidence took a serious hit when his awkward confession led to brutal rejection—being compared to a gorilla shattered what little self-worth he had left. Determined to reinvent himself, he transformed into someone entirely new, crafting an image of effortless charm and sophistication. This polished version of himself seemed untouchable, a beacon of confidence that no one could dim. But just as he began believing in his own invincibility, reality struck hard. A flamboyant, self-obsessed classmate entered the picture, stealing the spotlight with outrageous antics and unchecked arrogance. Suddenly, Che Qiu Yuan’s carefully constructed persona paled in comparison, leaving him grappling with insecurity once again. The journey from social outcast to admired figure had been grueling, only to be undone by someone even more shamelessly attention-seeking. His newfound identity now felt fragile, as if it could crumble under the weight of another’s larger-than-life presence. The struggle for recognition became an exhausting battle, forcing him to question whether reinvention was ever enough. Every step forward seemed countered by forces beyond his control, leaving him stranded between who he was and who he aspired to be. The cruel irony? The very traits he’d worked to overcome now seemed trivial next to his rival’s unchecked narcissism.
