The Villain: You Proposed Breaking the Engagement, So Why Are You Crying Now? - Chapter 1:

Chapter 1: Breaking Off the Engagement with the Female Lead at the Start

“Su Yu, was I not clear enough?”

“I already said it. I, Lin Panxi, will never like you in this lifetime, and I will never be with you!”

At the center of the Capital Martial University training field, a group of young students had gathered, all eyes focused on one spot.

There, a girl with delicate features and a stunning figure frowned at the young man standing before her. 

Her beautiful eyes showed undisguised disgust. Her refined oval face was fair and smooth, as if it could break with a touch. 

Yet within her phoenix-like eyes flickered cold light. 

Under the gaze of the crowd, her red lips parted. Her voice was pleasant, but it carried a chilling indifference that kept others at a distance.

“Please stop using these childish tricks to bother me in the future. There will never be any result between us. Do you understand?”

The onlookers could not help whispering among themselves.

“Tsk, I really envy Lin, the campus beauty. She can actually reject Young Master Su’s confession.”

“What’s a confession? The gift Young Master Su gave this time is what you call rich. That’s a B-grade extraordinary alloy longsword!”

“Even master-level martial artists would drool over a B-grade extraordinary alloy weapon. And Lin Panxi still dares to refuse?”

“Refuse what? Didn’t you see she already took the gift?”

“Young Master Su is really devoted. He’s been confessing to someone who has no interest in him for seven whole years.”

“Devoted. Truly devoted. Although it’s a bit…”

“Ahem, don’t say those two words. I’m afraid your body might turn up in a sewer the next day.”

The ordinary students watching from the sidelines all looked on with envy and jealousy.

At the center of the crowd stood a tall and handsome young man, his posture as straight as a firm pine tree. His features were perfectly sculpted, sharp and defined. His eyes were deep like a star-filled sky, a faint light flickering within his dark pupils.

Su Yu stood there motionless, as if petrified.

Looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, confusion flashed through his eyes. Where am I?

Before he could react, a flood of memories surged into his mind like a tidal wave.

“Hiss…”

In an instant, Su Yu’s brows knitted together. Intense pain tore through his brain. Moments later, when the massive stream of memories had been absorbed, he was completely stunned.

“I transmigrated?”

“And into the world of a high-martial arts novel?”

From the memories, Su Yu extracted the information he needed. He had indeed transmigrated, and into a novel about spiritual energy revival that he had once read.

The most crucial point was that he had not become the protagonist, but a villain in this story.

At the same time, he realized who the woman standing before him was. She was the first female lead of the novel, Lin Panxi.

And the current scene was the beginning of the plot, where he was making his ninety-ninth confession to Lin Panxi, being ruthlessly rejected, and then preparing to threaten her.

Thinking of this, Su Yu felt his teeth ache.

What the hell is this?

He felt exhausted. After all, his current identity was that of the villain, a stepping stone for the protagonist, someone destined to be publicly humiliated.

What left him even more speechless was that his identity in this world was incredibly noble across the Dragon Nation and even the entire Blue Star. Yet the original author had written him as absurdly foolish.

Not only was he a bootlicker, he was the kind with no bottom line, crazily groveling at the female lead.

The Su family held an extraordinary position on the high-martial Blue Star.

His grandfather, Su Zhantian, was one of Blue Star’s transcendent Martial Saints.

His father, Su Long, was one of the Dragon Nation’s 9th-grade Grandmasters.

The Su family had risen during the spiritual energy revival 1,000 years ago and had remained powerful ever since, never declining for a single generation.

Su Yu himself was the top genius of his generation in the Su family. With such a background, how could he have become a shameless bootlicker? Did that make any sense?

It made no sense at all.

What identity did Lin Panxi have?

In terms of talent, she was several levels below him. As for family background…

Heh.

The Lin family had only emerged in the Capital 100 years ago. The highest cultivation level in the family had merely reached the 8th grade, and that 8th-grade expert had already fallen.

If not for Su Yu’s affection, a small family like the Lin family would likely have been swallowed up by others long ago.

He had liked Lin Panxi for so many years, and the Lin family had benefited from the Su family’s power for just as long.

Yet they did not know where their arrogance came from, stringing him along the entire time.

Worse still, without his knowledge, they had nurtured a Chosen One. In the end, with the Chosen One’s help, they rose to become the second most powerful family on Blue Star.

Meanwhile, the Su family was destroyed by the Lin family and the Chosen One together.

Even after destroying the Su family, they had publicly claimed that the Su family had committed countless evils and that they were acting on behalf of heaven.

Evil?

The Su family had guarded Blue Star for 1,000 years. Every Martial Saint-level expert had died on the battlefield.

Yet in the end, they fell under the combined attacks of the Lin family, the Chosen One, and endless public condemnation.

Thinking of the Su family’s fate and his own ending in the original novel, Su Yu could not help clicking his tongue. How ironic.

A family that had survived because of the Su family had eventually bitten back at its benefactor.

Since he had transmigrated, Su Yu would never repeat the tragedy of the original story.

Besides…

Was Lin Panxi even worth it?

There were so many high-quality female leads in the novel. Were they not better?

Before he could think further, Lin Panxi’s clear and emotionless voice rang in his ears.

“Su Yu, are you even listening to me?”

Seeing him stand there motionless, Lin Panxi felt anger rising within her. What was the point of this nuisance pestering her every day?

This time, she was determined to make things clear once and for all.

Her eyes turned colder as she stared at him with disgust. “Stop pretending to be absent-minded. I only want to tell you one thing. Don’t appear in front of me again in the future. I do not acknowledge that so-called engagement!”

She continued, her tone filled with revulsion. “Your shameless persistence only makes me feel sick. Now please disappear from my sight immediately—”

Using his family’s power to force her into signing an engagement contract. A person like that was truly disgusting.

“Alright.”

Before she could finish, Su Yu nodded and replied, “As you wish.”

Great.

Double happiness.

Freed from the exhausting nine-to-seven grind of his previous life, reborn as the young master of a powerful family, and now breaking off an engagement with a self-righteous female lead. This felt amazing.

“W-What?” Lin Panxi was stunned by his sudden response. “What did you just say?”

Did he just agree?

Su Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. The corners of his lips lifted into a faint smile. “I agree with everything you said. The engagement is canceled. We sever ties. From now on, we are strangers.”

Lin Panxi froze, unable to react for a moment.

But Su Yu gave her no chance to speak. Straightening his posture, he said calmly, “Tomorrow, I will personally visit your home to formally dissolve this joke of an engagement.”

“And I will announce in the Capital that from this day on, I, Su Yu, have nothing to do with you, Lin Panxi, or the entire Lin family.”

The moment those words fell, the entire training field went silent.

Everyone was stunned.

No longer having anything to do with Lin Panxi or the entire Lin family…

After a long while, when they finally came back to their senses, only one thought remained in their minds.

The capital was about to undergo a massive upheaval.
