We've Broken Up, Mr. Gu. Stop Pestering Me!

In her previous life, Sheng Nuan was the spirited princess of the Sheng Kingdom, while Gu Han was a valiant general who defended the nation.

They loved one another all their lives, grew old together, and became a tale everyone celebrated.

Beneath the Matchmaker Tree, they made a wish together: in their next lives, they would still stay by each other's side, understand one another, and remain faithful until death.

But she fell asleep with her memories intact, and when she awoke, all she saw was him embracing another woman as they poured their hearts out to each other.

All their memories had become bubbles, and she alone remembered every joy and sorrow.

The moment she was forced to give blood to treat his lover, Sheng Nuan finally understood that he was no longer the hero who protected her.

A princess of a great nation had humbled herself for him for ten years.

Only after she gave up on him completely did Sheng Nuan realize that surviving in this world as a princess wasn't difficult at all.

She wanted to go out and see this dazzling, colorful world for herself.

Everyone knew that Gu Ye Han had brought a young woman back from beneath the Matchmaker Tree.

He hated that Sheng Nuan saw him as the version of himself who wasn't really him. He hated that everyone said, "You love Sheng Nuan."

Later, the young woman stopped following in his footsteps.

And Gu Ye Han regretted it.

Pinning her against the wall, he demanded, eyes red-rimmed:

"With that delicate body of yours, who else could protect you but me?"

But he never expected a hand to appear between them.

"Sorry, someone has been taking care of her for a long time now, someone who was there before you."

--

"Before me? Who could surpass a bond that spans a thousand years?"

"From this day on, a single cry begins; we gaze at each other from the edge of the blue clouds. Those were the words she gave me back then."
