[The male lead has a secret crush; the second male lead gets a groveling redemption arc]
Given another chance at life, Cheng Mai calls off her wedding to her scumbag fiancé on the very day they’re supposed to marry. If someone picks a fight, she’ll fight back. She refuses to keep making herself miserable.
Once she lets go of decorum and starts losing it whenever something happens, life really does become carefree and delightful.
She thought she’d never fall in love or get married again, but then she discovers that Chu Yuning, a powerful man in her previous life, has been secretly in love with her all along.
When she turns him down, this taciturn man actually cries and asks, “Can’t you really give me a chance?”
Of course, of course! His tears break her heart.
Always defend and counterattack, making people feel disgusted over and over again, so they won't take the initiative to attack you.
