After the Beloved Princess Calls Off the Wedding, the Coldhearted General Regrets It Too Late

[One-on-one romance + the hero's regret and pursuit + traditional historical angst + angst first, sweetness later + childhood sweethearts + the second male lead doesn't end up with her + fictional history] [Ruthless, cold-hearted general VS devoted, sweet-natured little princess] Song Anyue, the little princess of Dayun, was adored by everyone. She fell in love with Dayun's legendary general, Lu Tingyue. They grew up together as childhood sweethearts. The little princess gave the general her whole heart. She loved him for eleven whole years. Everyone thought that the day the little princess came of age would also be the day she and the general married. But no one expected that on the day of Song Anyue's coming-of-age ceremony, Lu Tingyue would go to a temple and shave his head to become a monk, showing that he had no intention of marrying the little princess. The little princess became a laughingstock throughout the capital. When she learned that Lu Tingyue had gone to the temple, the little princess petitioned to break off their engagement. She repeatedly said that she regretted agreeing to marry Lu Tingyue, cutting off eleven years of love with her own hands. She even threw into a brazier the peace charm she had once obtained for Lu Tingyue by kowtowing at every step, watching it burn to ashes. Lu Tingyue watched helplessly as the little princess showed him none of the warmth she once had. After breaking off the engagement, she had no shortage of suitors. Only after Lu Tingyue had suffered all the hardships the little princess had endured because of him over the years did he appear before her, holding out his whole heart and the peace charm he had obtained for her by kowtowing at every step. All he got in return was her cold response: “General, please show some respect!” Later, everyone in the capital of Dayun learned how the legendary General Lu Tingyue pursued his wife and suffered for it. [The male lead doesn't change. He had his head shaved and became a monk for a reason. The heroine is sweet and gentle. Happy ending.]
