One day, Yu Yuan found out that he was a cannon-fodder character in a book, and his fiance, Qi Su, was the male lead.
In the future, Qi Su would meet his fated kind and adorable love interest, fall in love at first sight, and live happily ever after.
Meanwhile, Yu Yuan, the wicked cannon fodder, would go mad and target the love interest, causing the entire Yu family to go bankrupt and eventually land behind bars.
Yu Yuan: "Wow."
He glanced at Qi Su, whom he had openly loved for five years without ever warming his heart, and believed the story without hesitation.
So fate really had decided everything. No wonder Qi Su still hated him, no matter how hard he tried.
After thinking it over, Yu Yuan decided to stay away from the plot and prevent disaster.
He was going to break off his engagement with Qi Su!
Unfortunately, the breakup plan didn't go smoothly. Qi Su was away on a business trip today, paying respects to his ancestors tomorrow, working overtime the day after, and off on another business trip the day after that. Yu Yuan could never catch him.
At his wits' end, Yu Yuan could only stake out the parking lot at Qi Su's company himself. He waited until midnight, and when he was so sleepy he could barely think, Qi Su finally appeared to get his car.
Yu Yuan was too tired to remember that he was there to break off the engagement. Just like before, he held out his arms and said in a sweet, coquettish voice, "I'm so sleepy. Give me a hug."
As soon as he said it, Yu Yuan came to his senses and awkwardly lowered his hands.
He had been pampered since childhood, and acting cute had become second nature.
To his surprise, Qi Su stepped toward him and pulled him into a tight embrace. Yu Yuan froze. It was the first time Qi Su had ever hugged him.
Leaning into the crook of his neck, Qi Su asked in a restrained, husky voice,
"Yu Yuan, can we please not break off the engagement?"
Qi Su found his fiance, Yu Yuan, so annoying. He was spoiled, pampered, and capricious, and he cried at the drop of a hat. Every time he cried, it took forever to comfort him.
He also loved clinging to Qi Su, which made Qi Su's life miserable.
Qi Su thought that after they got married, he'd find something for Yu Yuan to do, like growing flowers or something, so he wouldn't keep clinging to him.
He'd sign Yu Yuan up for fitness classes, too. Someone so frail couldn't keep getting sick.
And those annoying relatives of the Yu family? He'd have to limit Yu Yuan's contact with them.
Qi Su had thought of everything.
Except breaking off his engagement to Yu Yuan.
He never imagined Yu Yuan would ask to end it.
The Yu Yuan who had been acting cute and telling him he loved him yesterday now firmly wanted to break off the engagement.
Only then did Qi Su realize that the seemingly frail, sweet young master could be more ruthless than anyone when he made up his mind.
"No, we have to break off the engagement."
