After Breaking Off My Engagement to the Male Lead

The story's setting has been extensively revised. My apologies to everyone who has it bookmarked qwq

I can't change the category for now QAQ. It's a cultivation setting. If that's caused any confusion, please give this foolish author a good smack.

Jiang Zhen transmigrates one day, becomes a cross-dressing beauty, and drops right into a broken engagement.

Feeling the two oranges on his chest, he looks at the expressionless person breaking off their engagement. Weak, pitiful, and helpless, Jiang Zhen immediately calls it off and runs.

He never expected the lousy System to show up ten minutes later.

“Host, your remaining lifespan is less than ten days. Hurry and earn the male lead's favor.”

“?”

“Who?”

“Ji Xiaofeng, the one you just broke off your engagement with.”

“...” Jiang Zhen freezes, still holding the orange he'd only half-finished eating.

“I already broke off the engagement. How am I supposed to raise his favorability now?!”

The System pulls out dozens of guides and smiles mysteriously.

Jiang Zhen listens to the lousy System and tries to raise the male lead's favor by acting like a sweet, innocent white lotus and a manipulative green tea.

His moves are as fierce as a tiger's.

But his favorability score goes down instead of up.

Looking at the countdown with less than an hour left, Jiang Zhen decides to spend his final moments in the world's most wonderful place: a brothel.

Unexpectedly, he runs into the male lead being harassed and inadvertently gets him out of trouble.

Looking at the secret identity he'd been forced to assume and the favorability score finally climbing above zero, Jiang Zhen is moved to tears.

Ji Xiaofeng has an ex-fiancée who is dramatic and fussy, and keeps pestering him. He doesn't like her.

He also has a friend he's had a crush on for ages. His friend is handsome, generous, talented, innocent, and adorable, but Ji Xiaofeng can't have him.

Then one day, he suddenly realizes that his dramatic, fussy ex-fiancée and his innocent, adorable friend are the same person.

Ji Xiaofeng narrows his eyes, laughing in exasperation.

Theme: A cautionary tale based on personal experience: don't deceive others by pretending to be someone you're not.
