Poor Third-Ranked Groom Still Can't Afford to Call Off the Engagement Today

Yu Yan died.

He died on his way to meet Shen Qingyan.

From the first time Yu Yan saw Shen Qingyan, he fell madly in love with him. After that, he had eyes for no one else.

But Shen Qingyan never had a place for him in his heart.

When Yu Yan woke up again, he learned that he was the third male lead in a choose-your-favorite romance novel, while Shen Qingyan was the story's protagonist and love interest.

Reborn, Yu Yan thought back on how he had acted like a lovesick doormat in his previous life and couldn't stop himself from swearing. "What an idiot."

He never wanted to have anything to do with anyone named Shen again!

"Mr. Yu, this is the marriage contract your father wrote."

The man took off his black silk gloves unhurriedly. In his long, slender hand was a marriage contract, and a pigeon-blood-red mole marked his thumb.

Yu Yan recognized the elegant, distinguished man before him. He was Shen Qingyan's uncle, Shen Xiunian.

To put it nicely, the paper in Shen Xiunian's hand was a marriage contract. In reality, Yu Yan's father couldn't repay his debts, so he was handing Yu Yan over to Shen Xiunian.

In his previous life, Shen Xiunian had also come to see him, but in the end, Shen Xiunian was the one who called off the "engagement."

Yu Yan tested the waters. "Can I break off the engagement?"

Shen Xiunian's expression didn't change. "Yes."

Yu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Shen Xiunian was still the same as in his previous life.

"If Party B breaks off the engagement, they must repay ten million."

Yu Yan: "?!"

In his previous life

In the misty rain, Shen Xiunian stood alone before a gravestone, holding an umbrella.

Through his black glove, his fingertips gently caressed the warm smile carved on the stone. He murmured, "Should I have let you go...?"
