[Pre-Order: After Failing to Seduce the Enemy Prince – Please Add to Your Collection!]
Mu Anning lived as the obedient eldest daughter of the Marquis’s household for over a decade, only to suddenly discover she was the villainess in a novel. When the beloved real heiress returned, Mu Anning, the fake heiress, fell from grace into the mud, despised by all, and ultimately took her own life.
No wonder the boy she had loved for half her life never spared her a glance.
The marriage envied by all the noble ladies had never been hers to begin with.
So, she made the boldest decision of her life: she went alone to break off the engagement, setting him free.
But the real heiress’s gaze toward her seemed… unusual.
[You go, girl! Men are a dime a dozen—if one doesn’t work out, just swap him out!]
Mu Anning: What?!
Gu Huaizhi, the arrogant heir of the Prince of Anqing, discovered that his fiancée, who had always adored him, wanted to break off their engagement.
He sneered coldly, “Perfect! I never wanted to marry you anyway!”
He had always found her dull and uninteresting. If not for his family’s pressure, he would have ended things long ago.
But after getting his wish, he felt something was off. His desk, once filled with daily deliveries of osmanthus cakes, now felt empty.
When they met again at a teahouse, she approached him with a smile, carrying a food box.
His eyes flickered, and he reluctantly reached out to take it. But the next moment, she walked past him and handed the box to the Imperial Examination’s third-place scholar, calling him sweetly, “Ah Huai.”
The teacup slipped from his hand, shattering loudly, and blood seeped from the corner of his lips.
Even in the past, she had never been so affectionate with him.
Later, he heard she was getting engaged.
For the first time, the proud young master panicked and confronted her: “Mu Anning, is this what you meant when you said you’d never marry anyone but me?”
But all he got was her cold, distant reply: “Young Master, please behave yourself.”
Only then did the prodigy learn what jealousy and unrequited love truly felt like.
Only in death would she ever look at him again.
“With three lifetimes of sorrow, I wish you one lifetime of peace.”
“Ah Ning, may you grow old with him…”
