#No Man I Can't Flirt With# The straightforward sweetheart wins over the aloof beauty #
[Blurb]
A mysterious, noble distant cousin arrives at the Hua residence
Xie Yang is exceptionally handsome, but his face is as cold as colored glass. He's polite yet distant with everyone, aloof as the moon.
The first time Hua Yinyue, the seventh young lady of the Hua family, sees Xie Yang, she marvels that such a man, bright as the moon, could exist in the world.
Hua Yinyue, who spends all her time playing in the mud, takes an interest in something else for the first time and can't help paying attention to every little thing about him.
Xie Yang's heart is as cold as solid ice. No matter how ardently others pursue him, he remains unmoved.
Everyone else is driven away by his cold nature, but Hua Yinyue is stubborn and brave. She charges at him like a blazing fire.
She'd only intended to live as freely as she pleased and have no regrets. She never really thought he'd respond or be moved.
But when she accidentally smashes the colored-glass cup Xie Yang uses to cultivate his Dao and calm his heart, she panics and doesn't dare look at his reaction
He isn't angry. Instead, he stands stunned, gazing down at the broken cup scattered across the floor. After a long while, as if understanding something, his face relaxes and his brows unfurrow.
The next day, Xie Yang takes the broken cup to his master, Daoist Kongkong, and asks to leave: "This disciple's Daoist heart is unsteady. I keep entertaining worldly thoughts and have let down Master's kind intentions."
His irreverent old master teases him: "Which female demon disturbed your Daoist heart?"
Xie Yang's ears turn faintly red. Lowering his eyes, he quietly protests: "...She's not a female demon."
Not long after Xie Yang first arrives at the Hua residence, his attendant can't help complaining: "That cousin of the Hua family is so annoying."
Xie Yang doesn't take it to heart. He's distant with people and has his own ways of making them back off.
Before long, the cousins who used to visit so eagerly gradually stop coming.
Only the seventh young lady, who can't read the room, keeps showing up uninvited. From afar, she calls out, "Cousin, I'm here!"
At first, Xie Yang is annoyed. Later, he finds himself looking forward to her visit every day.
One day, Hua Yinyue is late, and Xie Yang can't help asking why.
His attendant replies, "The Hua family is arranging a marriage for the seventh young lady."
Xie Yang's heart crashes. His jade-like face cracks, and desire sweeps away his composure and manners.
He clenches his fist. "Then I'll go compete for her too."
