Ninety-Nine Percent

There's a notorious female thief in the jianghu who seduces men. The men who've seen her all look dazed, as though their vitality has been drained away.

Everyone: Shameless! Disgusting! No decency!

The seductress thief Guan Miao feels terribly wronged: Slander! Only good-looking people get to see me.

Besides, the most graceful and beautiful men are not only sharp-tongued, they're expensive, too. Even a kiss would drain her purse.

She's a gentle, affectionate seductress, and would never give up the whole forest for one flower...

The flower: "You can pay me later."

Guan Miao immediately burns the invitations sent by her other suitors and says decisively, "For you, of course I'd do the impossible."

The flower gives a cold laugh.

And so, Guan Miao lives a blissful life like an immortal, all on credit.

Until one day, lounging in the beauty's arms, she idly works an abacus and is horrified: she owes too much and can't pay it back.

She takes another look at the elegant young man, feels wickedness rise in her heart, and decides to pluck the beautiful flower by force before running away: "Hahaha! Didn't expect that, did you? I'm done serving you."

A seducer who turns over a new leaf is worth more than gold.

On the day she becomes Miss Song, the old madam introduces Guan Miao to the most accomplished member of their clan, the top-scoring candidate in the palace examination. "Quick, greet your cousin, the third young master Ji."

The third young master of the Ji family is bright as the moon. No wonder he's the darling of so many admirers. At one glance, all the women blush.

Only Guan Miao turns pale: "..." Wait, wait, wait! Isn't that the exact same beautiful flower she forcefully plucked right before running away?

When they are alone, the beautiful flower drops his fake cousin's mask and says with a knowing smile, "Mistress, look at the moon. Doesn't it resemble the thousand taels of gold you owe me?"

Guan Miao: TAT I was wrong! Beautiful men have hearts of black, and they even raise their prices after the fact!

There's no way she can pay him back.

Guan Miao tentatively asks, "How about you let me pluck you again?"

The moment she says it, she regrets it.

As expected, the beautiful flower looks her up and down and curls his lips coolly. "It's not out of the question."

Guan Miao: "I knew you wouldn't... Huh?"

Could such a wonderful thing really happen?

-

Much later.

Her family and old friends earnestly try to persuade the third young master Ji to come to his senses: "Most people in this world are led astray by beauty. Only the clear-headed gentlemen, fewer than one in ten, can tell who is truly worthy of managing a household as its principal wife."

A weak woman like Song Guan Miao, who only cares for romance and moonlit trysts, is utterly unfit to be a wife. She's nothing but a pretty face.

To their surprise, the third young master Ji, famous throughout the land for his unconventional ways, replies calmly, "Is that so? Then I'm happy to be one of the ninety-nine percent."

[Ugh, I only wanted to enjoy the pretty flowers in my colorful garden of handsome men. How was I supposed to know the most beautiful flower would turn out to be a fierce flower that would pull my whole garden out by the roots?! QWQ]
