Didn't You Say You Wanted to Break Off the Engagement?!

Blurb:

Li Yuheng has nothing but beauty, and little talent.

Jiang Chenya, who brought her back to the Taixuan Academy, is a cultivation genius seen only once in a thousand years. He has countless admirers and is so powerful that everyone looks up to him.

Fortunately, she got to him first, using the fact that she had saved his life to become his fiancee.

Then one day, she woke up and discovered that she was a cannon-fodder character in a xianxia novel!

As soon as the heroine appears, Li Yuheng's false claim that she was Jiang Chenya's savior will be exposed. Jiang Chenya will publicly break off their engagement and avoid her as if she were a plague.

In the end, she will die in the jaws of an evil creature. As she dies, she will still be clutching a shattered emergency talisman.

Jiang Chenya drew it with his own lifeblood on the day they got engaged. He told her to break it if she ever faced danger, and that wherever she was, he would come to save her.

But when her life was hanging by a thread, he never came...

Li Yuheng doesn't want to die. She wants to live.

Keeping her identity as Jiang Chenya's fiancee, she gets ahead of things once again...

In the bath, a powerful, icy fish tail wraps tightly around her drenched waist. The second male lead, the young master of the merfolk, is in his mating season and grips her wrist. His unusual golden eyes are filled with startling intensity as he restrains himself. "Stay. Help me..."

In the dead of night, an evil antagonist of mysterious origins knocks on her door. He dispels his disguise, revealing a face exactly like Jiang Chenya's, and smiles with innocent sincerity. "Sister-in-law... My brother and I look a lot alike, don't we?"

Li Yuheng calmly waits for the heroine to appear, so that Jiang Chenya can discover her true face and break off their engagement.

To her surprise, the heroine appears, but Jiang Chenya not only refuses to end their engagement, he follows her everywhere, his gaze growing ever more dark and dangerous.

One day, Li Yuheng sends Jiang Chenya away and comes out of the room of the merfolk in his mating season, her hair still wet.

She doesn't notice that the man hidden in the night has eyes that were once clear and bright, now turned a terrifying blood-red.

The next day, the young master of the merfolk goes missing. The bath is strewn with shocking amounts of blood and scales!

Before Li Yuheng can find out what happened to him, she is caught in an ambush during a raid on the evil creatures. When she wakes, she finds herself locked to a jade bed in a natural cave.

Her nominal fiance is dressed in a rare red robe. A faint flush colors his usually cool, emotionless features. "How wonderful. At last, there are no more eyesores around you..."

His eyes are full of madness and obsession. He forcibly interlaces their fingers and seals their marriage contract by consummating it with her.

Reading guide:

1. An original fantasy setting, not traditional cultivation fiction. There are many original worldbuilding elements, and this is my own take on immortal cultivation.

2. Not a strong female lead story! Not a romance-only story!

3. The male and female leads and the supporting characters all have flaws. My writing is limited, so don't expect perfect characters!

4. The logic is melodramatic! The plot and characters are melodramatic too! Read with caution!
