On the Day I Called Off the Engagement, My Neighbor Turned Out to Be My Fiancée

Lu Xingchuan runs a secondhand shop and lives like a carefree drifter. Every day, he rides his motorcycle, plays with cats, drinks tea, and enjoys a laid-back retirement.

When his family tries to arrange a marriage alliance for him, he flatly refuses. “A female CEO? Endless meetings sound so dull. I’m not marrying her!”

Meanwhile, a cold, mature beauty named Jiang Ying moves in across the hall, hiding her identity and running from reality. The two become neighbors who share a rental and spend their days griping together and hanging out at street-food stalls.

On WeChat, Lu Xingchuan and his fiancée engage in an all-out tug-of-war. “Call off the engagement! We have to! You can’t force a melon to be sweet!”

In real life, Lu Xingchuan takes Jiang Ying out on his electric scooter, tearing up the streets, then wins her over with his god-tier cooking and System-given skills.

Then, at the banquet where their families are formally discussing the broken engagement

Lu Xingchuan strolls in wearing a floral shirt, only to come face-to-face with Jiang Ying, dressed in a designer gown and looking icy.

They stare at each other.

Lu Xingchuan: “So you’re the little foodie who keeps stealing my jianbing?”

Jiang Ying blushes. “And you’re the one who called me stiff and no fun on WeChat?”
