After Breaking Off the Engagement, the Regent Took Notice of Me

Shen Sheng'er, a fourth-year Traditional Chinese Medicine and beauty student about to graduate, was dumped by her scumbag boyfriend on the day of her job interview. She was so devastated that she gave up on life and spent her days reading novels. Then she transmigrated into the book The Heir Broke Off Our Engagement, So I Killed Myself, becoming its heroine! She sympathized with the heroine, who had suffered the same misfortune and been framed, and resolved to get justice for her. The heir broke off their engagement. “If you want to end it, that's fine. Agree to three conditions of mine, none of them related to marriage.” Wearing a veil, she gazed at him with eyes as calm as still water. The heir looked at her with contempt and disdain. Even as he ended the engagement, he couldn't resist a parting insult. “Fine. They say an ugly woman is worse than Wuyan, and you're worse than her.” After the engagement ended, Shen Sheng'er devoted herself to her business. Her Yan Sheng Workshop became a sensation in the City That Never Sleeps, winning the hearts of women everywhere and making her famous overnight. She opened a clothing shop, and the dresses she designed became the latest fashion among young noblewomen. As she pursued her career, a graceful, gentle young gentleman was always at her side. “Your Highness, I'm not looking to get married. Don't get in the way of my business,” she said helplessly. “Then I'll send you betrothal gifts first. When you feel like marrying me, we can have the wedding,” the man replied with a cheeky grin. She felt a headache coming on. Why couldn't she shake this clingy pest? Where was the Regent's dignity? His self-respect? Regent: In front of my darling, all that is just a passing cloud. The heir regretted breaking off their engagement and tried to pursue her again, only to be turned away. “I recall you once said I was worse than even Wuyan. I could never be worthy of you.” The heir got a face-slapping so loud it echoed. Does it hurt, Your Highness? Once, you couldn't care less. Tomorrow, I'll make myself someone you can't even hope to reach. (This story is fictional, and its history is all over the place.)
