Cool, aloof flirt x gentle seduction
Blurb:
Qin Yu, the second daughter of the Qin family of Haishi, was blessed with a beautiful face.
Her features were cool and clear, her beauty bold and difficult to approach.
But she had a naturally rebellious streak.
The Qin family wanted her to go into show business, but she insisted on studying medicine, specializing in forensic pathology, "speaking for the dead and advocating for the living."
Qin Yu's university graduation gift was a seven-day, seven-night cruise.
Among her fellow passengers were the powerful families of Haishi, as well as the cruise ship's owner, Ji Yanli.
With the Qin family's business in trouble, they hoped Qin Yu would use the trip to get close to Ji Yanli.
Qin Yu refused to do what her elders wanted and stuck to the ship's quiet, secluded areas.
She successfully avoided every event Ji Yanli might attend.
On the night before the trip ended, Qin Yu smoked alone on the deck.
Through the swirling smoke, she saw someone watering flowers aboard the ship.
The man wore a black shirt and trousers. His expression was detached, and his features were sharp and defined.
When he looked at Qin Yu, his eyes narrowed with a seductive glint.
That night, Qin Yu took him back to her room. The man said he owned a flower shop.
Looking at his face, Qin Yu believed him.
Later, Qin Yu found that flower shop in Haishi.
It was called Beautiful Things.
The owner was Ji Yanli.
Later still, after Qin Yu fled to Nancheng, Ji Yanli caught up with her.
He opened another flower shop there.
And he kept pursuing her there, again and again.
