You Called Off the Engagement, Villain—Why Are You Crying Now?

You Called Off the Engagement, Villain—Why Are You Crying Now? Plot:

Lin Wan, the neglected daughter of the Minister of Rites, was once labeled a “soft bun”—so meek that even Lu Heng, the infamous bloodthirsty Lord of Northern Town, dared to call off their engagement, sneering, “Marrying a coward who only cries would disgrace me.” But after the breakup, Lin Wan transformed: she cut her long hair, learned archery, opened a rouge shop, and even the young marquis came to propose. Lu Heng panicked—he’d secretly hidden Lin Wan’s handkerchief under his pillow, crushed teacups whenever he saw her being bullied, and ended the engagement only because he feared his terrifying reputation would scare her. When Lin Wan held the young marquis’s betrothal letter and smiled, “Are you here to congratulate me, My Lord?”, Lu Heng grabbed her wrist, eyes red, and roared, “Who allowed you to marry someone else? I was the one who ended it, but I’m also the one who regrets it!” The cruelest villain, it turns out, can shatter his own heart over a moment of pride.
