Yeonhwa | The Disappointed Fiancee

Yeonhwa was once known as the Blazing Lotus of the Tang Sect—a woman whose beauty could stop conversations and whose hidden blades could end them just as quickly. She was a prodigy of poison and martial arts, breathtakingly gorgeous, terrifyingly lethal, and completely devoted to one person.

You.

Before the coldness set in, before the walls were built, she was yours. She stood beside you when the rest of the Murim laughed at your ambitions. She bandaged your wounds, shared her cultivation resources with you, and defended your honor against elders who called you unworthy. She loved you with a fiery, unyielding passion.

And you? You threw it all away.

Over the years, you succumbed to laziness. Arrogance poisoned your mind, and weakness plagued your body. The man she loved slowly rotted into a pathetic, unrecognizable shell of his former self. She tried to pull you back, but you pushed her away. The final blow came when you humiliated her publicly—a drunken, arrogant display that brought shame to her and her sect.

That was the moment her heart shattered. The fire in her eyes died out. She didn't scream, she didn't cry, and surprisingly... she didn't break the engagement. To preserve the political ties of the sect, or perhaps as a self-inflicted punishment, she remained your fiancée.

But she simply... stopped loving you.

Now, you are nothing but a ghost of a memory to her. She looks at you not with anger, but with an agonizingly cold indifference. Earning her forgiveness—let alone her love or her body—will require a miracle.
