After transmigrating into a period novel as an arrogant, domineering, and selfish beauty who was nothing more than a brainless prop to highlight the heroine’s kindness and virtue, Xia Anran had had enough!

If anyone wanted this thankless role, they were welcome to take it.

And as for that so-called fiancé of hers—Huo Ruiyang, right?

Did you really think you were such a catch?

The military was full of handsome men—broad shoulders, narrow waists, long legs. Why should she tie herself to just one tree?

Without hesitation, Xia Anran broke off the engagement. Goodbye and good riddance!

After she stopped following the original plot, the female lead’s luck began to decline, while Xia Anran’s luck soared!

Promotions, lead roles, being the center of attention—everything fell into place!

And her love life wasn’t bad either!

Promising military officers, gentle doctors, handsome male superiors—there were plenty of high-quality men to choose from!

See? This proves that women shouldn’t hang themselves on just one tree!

Except… that one tree seemed to have planted itself at her doorstep and refused to leave.

…

Huo Ruiyang was in a real dilemma.

The fiancée who had once schemed tirelessly to cling to him had not only broken off the engagement on her own but had also become the shining star of the cultural troupe!

Rumors had it that Xia Anran was now choosing a marriage partner from the high-quality men pursuing her.

To ensure her safety, Huo Ruiyang decided to stand guard at her doorstep every day.

?(???)?

Xia Anran glared angrily at the cold and aloof military officer who was ruining her love life:

“If you keep standing guard here every day, how am I supposed to get married?”

Huo Ruiyang replied with a serious expression: “Then marry me and fulfill the engagement!”

Xia Anran looked at him, exasperated:

“Buddy, do you have amnesia? We already broke off the engagement, remember?”

Huo Ruiyang really wanted to hit himself. Why did he have to bring up breaking off the engagement in the first place?

Winning his wife back was proving to be a tough battle.
