“She cries easily, but she doesn't like to lose.”

Blurb:

Xu Yichun has never won an argument in her life. When things get serious, she always cries.

It's not unusual for her to be sobbing while standing with her hands on her hips and lecturing someone.

That's the kind of Xu Yichun who impulsively signed up for the school's debate club.

The club president is Chen Yan, a handsome third-year law student. He's aloof and taciturn, and Xu Yichun shakes her head whenever she sees him, thinking he's a real wet blanket.

But this “wet blanket” is fierce during debates, taking on opponents from every side with eloquence and confidence, leaving them sweating under the pressure.

Since his views mostly align with her own, Xu Yichun thinks to herself that Chen Yan is her mouthpiece.

2.

They represent their school on a televised debate show.

For the sake of the show's format, the two of them are assigned to opposing sides.

After Chen Yan makes a long series of arguments, he listens closely for her response.

The girl starts out making some pretty good points, but suddenly her lips pout, and her eyes redden as she looks utterly wronged.

And so the trending topic “Popular debater Chen Yan makes his junior, Xu Yichun, cry” goes viral.

Chen Yan, at a loss, hands her a tissue.

But she takes it, wipes her nose, then glares at him and continues firmly, “Your argument is very unconvincing. First of all, &%#&#%&”

Chen Yan watches her little mouth move, but doesn't hear a word she says.

“Debate opponents aren't allowed to zone out!” Xu Yichun cries in frustration.

Chen Yan nods, then says unhurriedly, “Debate opponents aren't allowed to cry.”

The internet cries, “We can ship them!”

And so the “No-Shipping” ship is born.

3.

In the end, she not only convinces her opponent, but also turns Chen Yan into her boyfriend.

Xu Yichun marvels at how much she's grown, while Chen Yan nervously worries that he's going to make her cry again.

Though she does look pretty cute when she cries.

A competitive, easily tearful puppy-like sweetheart x a serious-faced, secretly wicked, catlike upperclassman

Note: Neither lead is a hopeless romantic. The male lead may be wilder than you expect.

Content warning: The female lead cries easily. If you love debating and think this is a dealbreaker, feel free to click away.
