The Buddha-Like Man Is Born Abstinent, but the Flirtatious Beauty Knows How to Tempt Him

Known in their circle as a notorious bad girl, Qi Xi shamelessly clung to the youngest uncle of the Shang family, one of the city’s most powerful clans. After three years of pursuing him without a shred of dignity, she was still destined to get engaged to someone else. Shang Lanting was a celebrated ascetic in high society, a man of wealth and influence who was revered wherever he went and kept his distance from women. The only exception was the youngest daughter of the Qi family, who relentlessly pursued him. Everyone thought Lord Shang detested Qi Xi. Who could have guessed that when it came out she wasn’t the Qi family’s biological daughter, he would personally go to the Qi household to protect her, arrange a safety net for her, and then, when Qi Xi insisted on calling off her engagement and became the laughingstock of the capital, boldly announce that he would marry her? Qi Xi had grown tired of chasing him. She felt she’d never be able to warm Shang Lanting’s heart. He was too cold, and she’d never get what she wanted from him. When you fall for someone you shouldn’t, every time you call him “Uncle,” it means there’s no chance.
