But Jian Chenglan would rather betray the whole world and die in the arms of his beloved teacher than spare Huo Jiao a second glance. After the world was destroyed, Huo Jiao was reborn. This time, he saw things clearly: saving the world was far more meaningful than staying by a worthless man's side. He immediately broke off the engagement, cut up their matching rings, and set the worthless man's apartment on fire.

He's been seconded from the Order to oversee our... diplomatic marriage... cooperation project: Father Jian Chenglan. Let's welcome him!" Huo Jiao: ...
