Name: After Eloping with the Dragon-Prince Hero Who Breaks Off Engagements
Author: The Fox Never Returns

Synopsis

Gui Xuejian woke from a dream. The scenes in it faded like mist, but he vaguely remembered the Bai family being wiped out, himself becoming a vessel for the demon race, and dying with his soul destroyed.

His former fiance, meanwhile, was the Son of Heaven's Dao, the chosen hero of this world.

Today happened to be the day the Bai family elders tore up the marriage contract.

After his parents died, Yu Huaihe had nothing. The powerful Bai family of the Immortal Realm accused him of being useless and having no future.

They were too far above him to make a suitable match.

In front of the Bai family's five elders, Yu Huaihe was forced to burn the marriage agreement with his own hands.

Seeing Yu Huaihe wander into the rear courtyard by mistake, Gui Xuejian sat by the window and pretended to know nothing. He leaned out, his voice trembling slightly, as if he were deeply attached to this fiance he had never met: “I hate it here. Could you take me away?”

He closed his eyes and jumped from the windowsill. Just as he wished, someone caught him firmly.

Begonia blossoms drifted from the trees and caught in Gui Xuejian's loose hair. On this spring day, the hero of a broken-engagement story, fated to part ways with his fiance, eloped with him instead.

Gui Xuejian was the sort of person Yu Huaihe had never encountered, someone from a lofty pavilion. He was like a flower just about to bloom: without careful tending, the wind and rain would soon make him wither.

He couldn't lift a knife or hold a sword, and even a breeze made him cough. Yu Huaihe had to devote himself completely to protecting him.

Later, Yu Huaihe discovered that his fiance really was a flower, but the sort that ate people.

Yu Huaihe pondered for a moment. “Then I hope you enjoy your meal. Would you like me to help?”

Gui Xuejian: “?”

Hero, did you grow up crooked?

With seven of the world's ten rare treasures and six of its eight precious artifacts as his betrothal gifts, Yu Huaihe sought the hand of Gui Xuejian, master of the Zhaoyue Pavilion.

A cool, broken-engagement-story hero who shows favoritism only to his wife × a delicate beauty like a carnivorous flower, too weak to lift a knife or wield a sword. This bickering young couple grow together on their path to immortality. Gui Xuejian takes his mother's surname.

Theme: Keep living. There is always hope.
