Reborn as Cannon Fodder in the Dragon-Proud Hero's Broken Engagement

Shen Meng is the arrogant male lead of a male-oriented novel about a broken engagement. He starts out as a cultivationless good-for-nothing, but after a cannon-fodder character breaks off their engagement and humiliates him, he works hard, unlocks every golden finger, and reaches the pinnacle of life.

The first thing he does after reaching the top is tear out the heart and lungs of the snobbish cannon fodder who once broke off their engagement, then have more than ten subordinates take turns humiliating him until he dies.

Gu Yu had just read the scene where the cannon fodder was humiliated. The next day, he transmigrated into the novel and became that very cannon fodder.

The arrogant male lead has just arrived to propose marriage. The young man is already covered in wounds, and expects to be humiliated again. But someone steps in front of him.

The man is dressed in white, like an immortal descended from the heavens. His sword gleams like a rainbow, yet he gently lifts the young man's chin with it.

Gu Yu's peach-blossom eyes narrow. He looks at the elders with a half-smile, but his voice is full of killing intent.

"You were the ones who arranged the engagement, and you're the ones breaking it off. What has Shen Meng done wrong to deserve such contempt from you?"

"Once Shen Meng cultivates a Golden Core, I can marry him then!"

The Demon Lord Shen Meng went from a cultivationless good-for-nothing to a Golden Core cultivator in just ten years. During that time, he turned the cultivation world upside down and became so feared that people trembled at his name. Everyone who had ever offended him was torn to pieces.

Everyone knew the Demon Lord was cold-hearted and merciless, and that he took no consorts. But they didn't know that someone had long since taken up residence in his heart.

That person had defied an entire sect for him and made a vow before millions: once Shen Meng formed his Golden Core, they would become Dao companions.

Because of that promise, Shen Meng cultivated bitterly for more than ten years. But when he emerged from seclusion, that person was nowhere to be found.

Every night, Shen Meng thought of Gu Yu. He missed him terribly.

He murmured Gu Yu's name and searched every inch of the land for him, determined to find him and keep him by his side.

That was the price Gu Yu would pay for breaking his promise.
