After I Broke Off the Engagement, My Obsessive Childhood Friend Went Mad

Forced pursuit | Winning her back | The hero washes his own underwear with a cold expression

Delicate, silly beauty x brooding, unhinged general

Everyone in the capital knew that the young lord Xuan Wujiao of the Duke of Zhenguo's household liked the illegitimate daughter of Minister Yang. He was practically glued to her side every day.

If his darling wanted the stars, he would have wanted to pluck the moon from the sky and give it to her too. Spending a fortune just to make her smile had become routine.

He doted on her day after day, and no one was allowed to say a word against her.

Yet the girl kept rejecting his affection. Then, after the Duke of Zhenguo's household fell into decline, she personally tore up their marriage contract and abandoned him.

After that, the young lord who had once ridden through Chang'an, envied by all, suddenly became moody and unpredictable. He went alone to the battlefield with nothing but a blade and carved out a path through it with bloodshed.

Years later, Xuan Wujiao returned to the capital with glorious military achievements, only to find Minister Yang in prison.

The darling he had once cherished above all was now kneeling at his feet, weeping like a flower in the rain and begging him to protect her mother and younger brother.

Xuan Wujiao suddenly smiled. He took her chin in his hand and gently brushed his thumb over her rosebud lips.

"That's not how you ask someone for help."

Yang Shuyun was the least remarkable of the Yang family's illegitimate daughters. She wanted nothing in life but a peaceful existence.

But that peace was shattered after she met Xuan Wujiao. The young lord's attention brought plenty of trouble, but the boy's ardent feelings gradually melted her heart.

Just as Yang Shuyun was about to accept him, her father forced her to break off the engagement.

She often dreamed of the look in the boy's eyes when he last looked at her.

Like a giant python, he seemed ready to coil around her and keep her trapped at his side, leaving her unable to breathe.

She grew increasingly guilty and afraid. She prayed that he would be safe on the battlefield, while also hoping she would never see Xuan Wujiao again in this life.

But fate had other plans. When her father was thrown into prison, she ended up begging Xuan Wujiao for help, and was forced to spend night after night entangled with him.

His every move, every word, even the undisguised gaze that lingered on her constantly... all became Yang Shuyun's nightmares, day and night.

After her father was released, she ran away, but was caught and dragged back before she got far.

Yang Shuyun waited in trembling fear for his anger, never expecting him to embrace her as if he had found something precious he thought lost, then whisper shakily against her ear:

"Are you going to abandon me a second time?"

[The dashing young man has been transformed into a brooding, clingy puppy. Please take pity on him, darling.]
