I Really Do Want to Break Off My Engagement with the Immortal Lord

1: This was an early attempt at a new genre, so I don't recommend reading it. The novel is complete, and it has a groveling-to-win-her-back arc. The female lead has already been reborn when the story opens, but there are some angsty parts. If you'd like to read it in chronological order, starting with details from her previous life, I recommend starting with Chapter 47 of the extras. You absolutely must read the extras, since they fill in the details, give more of the male lead's perspective, and are sweet. They could even count as part of the main story. Then start the main story from the beginning. I also recommend avoiding pirated copies online. I occasionally revise the earlier chapters, so what you find may not be the original version. Here's the blurb:

Dou Zhao had a marriage that others envied. Her betrothed was an immortal lord who had already ascended.

She was merely an unremarkable junior apprentice in a cultivation sect in the mortal realm.

Everyone who saw her would make a sour remark: "How on earth did Dou Zhao get so lucky as to become engaged to an immortal lord?"

And she was constantly given a hard time.

Dou Zhao never said a word about it. She trained with everything she had.

All so that one day she could calmly slap that marriage contract in the immortal lord's face and call off the engagement!

She thought, "I died at his hands in my last life. Do you want to take my so-called good fortune?"

2:

Ten thousand years ago, Immortal Lord He Jing was immensely powerful and beautiful, the object of every female immortal's affection.

But he was aloof and arrogant, cold and heartless, sharp-tongued and cruel, driving all those female immortals away.

Only one, named Dou Zhao, refused to give up. She followed him around, calling out to him in a clear, smiling voice, shamelessly as ever:

"A Jing, you're even more handsome today than you were yesterday."

"A Jing, you're amazing! You drove off ten thousand demons all by yourself!"

"A Jing, A Jing, look! I made a new dress. Isn't it pretty?"

Immortal Lord He Jing couldn't take it anymore. No matter how often he tried to chase her off, she wouldn't leave, so he had no choice but to let her follow him.

**

A traitor in the immortal realm had joined forces with the demon realm. He had once been an immortal lord's closest friend, and now he came to assassinate their greatest enemy, Immortal Lord He Jing.

That day, Dou Zhao came to see him wearing her new dress. She took the blow from the Immortal-Slaying Sword for him, but what hurt her was the flute Immortal Lord He Jing had stabbed through her back.

Blood stained Dou Zhao's new dress. She still held another new outfit, the same shade of blue, and smiled at him:

"A Jing, d-don't cry. The new clothes... one for me, one for you."

Dou Zhao's soul scattered, and Immortal Lord He Jing suddenly went mad. He wore the same outfit for ten thousand years, spending all that time gathering her soul back together.

He knelt before her and begged, pleading, "Zhaozhao, don't leave me again."

Reading Guide:

1: HE!! You absolutely must read the extras!!! They fill in the details! If you skip them and complain or make up your own plot, I won't accept it!

2: The blurb has two parts. The first is mainly from the female lead's perspective, and the second is mainly from the male lead's. Don't jump to conclusions before all the foreshadowing is resolved. Any insults directed at the author will bounce right back. Most importantly, there are no real-life inspirations, so don't associate the characters with real people!!! I love both my leads!

2: The main theme is putting the male lead through the wringer. The male lead is "not normal" in both his past and present lives. I don't know how else to describe it. If I say too much, I'll spoil things, though I really want to. Please be patient with A Jing. If you can't wait, start with the extras, and the earlier story, even the senior brother's identity, will suddenly make sense.

3: The female lead gets a new life, but she doesn't return to the past. The story begins after she gets a new life. Updates daily, usually at night. If I need to take a day off, I'll say so in the blurb, the comments, or on Weibo.

Coming soon next door: The Black Lotus Wants a Happy Ending Every Day. The black lotus is the male lead. Please add it to your favorites

Lin Shushu is a stand-in bride who willingly takes her place in marrying the man she loves: Yan Wu, an abandoned prince raised by monsters.

Rumor has it he's bloodthirsty and cruel, practices evil arts, and leaves a trail of slaughter wherever he goes. Known as a weapon of mass destruction, he was sealed in the cellar of the prince's estate.

Yan Wu loves a noblewoman and is willing to give up his evil arts and turn over a new leaf just to marry her.

On their wedding night, Yan Wu is brought before Lin Shushu in golden shackles. His face flushed red, he stares at the woman who has taken the bride's place.

Lin Shushu studies his devastatingly handsome face and beams with delight. "Starting today, I'm A Wu's bride."

Yan Wu hears this and raises a pale, frail-looking smile, helpless and pitiful. "Then, big sister, could you let me go?"

But in his eyes, he loathes Lin Shushu, as if he wants to eat her flesh and drink her blood.

"Nope!"

Lin Shushu smiles and pokes his handsome cheek.

Yan Wu struggles in vain, consumed by hatred.

*

Yan Wu can't read or write and knows nothing about love. Lin Shushu teaches him to read and write, and takes him across the land to learn about the seven emotions and six desires.

When Yan Wu is bullied, Lin Shushu has him hide behind her and sends the culprit flying with a whip. "As long as I'm here, no one gets to bully A Wu!"

One day, someone tells Yan Wu they can undo his golden shackles, with one condition: Lin Shushu must die.

Later, Lin Shushu really is dying. She lies in Yan Wu's arms, smiling. "Don't be too sad. Big sister is going somewhere wonderful. You stay here and live well. Get married, have children, and have a smooth life."

Phew, she's finally finished her tribulation of love and can ascend to the Ninth Heaven!

Lin Shushu closes her eyes, deeply content.

**

Then Yan Wu goes mad, becoming the weapon of mass destruction who leaves a trail of slaughter.

With her, he could live a smooth life as a carefree young prince. Without her, he can't be well, and nothing can go smoothly!

"You married A Wu, big sister. You'll always be A Wu's. Hmm? Can't you stay by A Wu's side forever? I heard demons can ascend and become gods, too. Big sister, I'll come find you."

Coming soon: Buddha's Disciple Wants to Save Me Every Night. Blurb:

Qiu Yan is a substitute.

Her older sister, Qiu Qing, is the most beautiful woman in the cultivation world, peerlessly talented and gentle in nature, the moonlight everyone pursues.

Qiu Yan has nothing but a face resembling her sister's. In every other way she's ordinary, and she's quiet, too.

Her sister dies saving her.

When Daoist Lord Wei Fuqing asks her to stand in for her sister and become his partner in name, to repay the debt she owes, she agrees.

Wei Fuqing doesn't care about her. When she's injured and bleeding, or humiliated by others, his eyes don't show the slightest reaction.

Wei Fuqing loves her face, she knows. When he torments her, she endures it. She tries her best to do what a substitute should and pay off that debt.

At last, one day, her sister is reborn. Qiu Yan breathes a sigh of relief, packs her bags overnight, and decisively ends it all.

She's finally reached the end of the original novel's plot and can be free!

*

Wei Fuqing thought Qiu Yan would never leave, but he never imagined she'd go so cleanly, leaving him not even a trace to cling to.

Consumed with regret, he finally realizes that Qiu Yan is the only one in his heart. But he's lost her. He turns and goes after her, hoping to win even one glance.

When he finally reaches the place behind her, he sees another man.

It's a Buddha's disciple from the Tianfo Sect, a red mark between his brows, beautiful features, compassionate and affectionate. Qiu Yan is by his side.

Wei Fuqing has heard that the Buddha's disciple cultivates the Way of the Buddha, with all living beings and the myriad paths in his heart. He saves all sentient beings and never stops for one person. He seems affectionate, but is actually heartless.

But he sees with his own eyes the lofty Buddha's disciple, high above in the clouds, tenderly looking down at Qiu Yan and saying softly, "My Yanyan is the best."
