The male lead is too handsome; he'd be at a disadvantage no matter who he chooses, so let's just say there's no romantic pairing!

What you can't have is the best; the male protagonist is the kind of man that no one else can have.

He's not a cross-dresser, nor is he a girl named Xiao Nan; the male lead is just handsome.

The atmosphere in the main hall of the Gu family in Qingyun City was somewhat cold and hard.

The head of the Gu family and his wife sat in the central seat at the head of the table, with three other people seated on either side.

The three people were an old man in a gray robe with piercing eyes, a handsome young man in fine clothes with an arrogant expression, and a beautiful young girl in red.

The girl in red is named Song Yan. She came to the Gu family with only one purpose: to annul the engagement.

Gu Yan, the eldest son of the Gu family, was a famous genius in Qingyun City. However, three years ago, for some unknown reason, Gu Yan became a cripple, with no spiritual energy left in his body and his spiritual root destroyed.

The marriage between Song Yan and Gu Yan was originally arranged by the patriarchs of both families when they were still alive. From the time Song Yan was old enough to understand, she was dissatisfied with the marriage, but because she was young and weak, no one cared about her thoughts.

After Gu Yan became a useless person, Song Yan became even more dissatisfied with the marriage.

She has already become the disciple of the Palace Master of Mingxiu Palace, and today, even if she is forced to break off the engagement by taking advantage of her master's prestige, she will still have to do so.

"So you are Song Yan's niece? I held you when you were a month old. I never imagined you would grow up so fast." The Gu family head said with a smile as he looked at Song Yan.

Song Yan clasped her hands in a respectful bow to the head of the Gu family: "Uncle Gu, I have come to ask you for a very important matter. My marriage with Gu Yan..."

"Oh? We have guests!"

Before Song Yan could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a voice.

The young man's voice was clear, gentle, and very pleasant to hear, like celestial music.

Upon hearing the voice, Song Yan's heart skipped a beat, and she turned to look towards the door.

Everyone's eyes turned to the outside.

A boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old entered from outside. He was dressed in white, with hair as black as ink. He was beautiful and graceful, with an unparalleled charm and noble bearing, like a celestial being.

The moment he stepped into the room, the entire hall seemed to be illuminated by his radiance.

A gentle breeze blew, causing his white robes to flutter, his figure resembling a jade tree standing tall in the wind, elegant and graceful, incomparably holy.

Song Yan had seen many handsome men, but she was still stunned at this moment. She stared at the beautiful young man in front of her and felt that all the handsome men she had seen before combined could not compare to a single hair on this young man's head.

Not only was Song Yan stunned, but everyone who came with her, including the old man in the gray robe and the arrogant young man in his fine clothes, were also dumbfounded.

Because this boy is just too beautiful!

This is a face that can bewitch all beings, transcending gender.

The handsome young man in white looked around the strangers in the hall with curious eyes, his gaze finally settling on Song Yan. Meeting his gaze, meeting his emerald-green eyes, Song Yan's heart pounded wildly.

My God! How could there be such a handsome person in the world? He stood in front of her, and she felt as if she were in a dream, seeing a jade statue.

"Niece Song Yan, this is your brother Gu Yan. Yan'er, this is your Uncle Song's daughter. Please get to know each other!" said the head of the Gu family.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yan's face showed a hint of surprise. This girl was actually his fiancée whom he had never met before.

Gu Yan clasped her hands in a fist and bowed politely, saying, "Hello, Sister Song Yan."

Song Yan's face flushed instantly. He... he spoke to her! Her heart was pounding so fast! It felt like it was going to jump out of her chest!

Song Yan was extremely excited.

"Hello, Brother Gu Yan!" Song Yan said, blushing.

The old man in the gray robe and the young man in the fine clothes came to their senses and, seeing Song Yan's expression, felt that something was wrong.

"Um... niece Song Yan, what were you about to say?" the Gu family head asked Song Yan. In fact, he and Madam Gu had already guessed Song Yan's purpose.

Both the head of the Gu family and his wife were exceptionally talented and beautiful. When his wife was pregnant, they prayed for a very beautiful child.

But they never expected their child to be this beautiful; it seems the couple prayed too much to the gods.

When Gu Yan was a child, the head of the Gu family and his wife told him, "My son, you must practice your martial arts diligently and become the best in the world so that you can protect yourself."

Gu Yan was exceptionally talented, and his cultivation speed was astonishing, which greatly pleased the Gu family patriarch and his wife. But no one expected that an accident would turn their son into a cripple.

Ever since Gu Yan became a cripple, the Gu family patriarch and his wife have been worried. Now that he's a cripple and can't cultivate, what will become of their son? He's so handsome, and he's lost his cultivation. What are they going to do? Are they going to let him stay at home forever and never go anywhere?

He used to have a fiancée to fend off unwanted suitors, but if the engagement is broken off, he'll be devoured by all those young women.

Song Yan turned to look at the Gu family head: "When are Gu Yan and I getting married?"

"puff--"

The gray-robed elder beside him spat out his tea, his eyes wide as he stared at Song Yan. Meanwhile, the arrogant young man jumped up and shouted:

"Junior Sister Yan'er, what are you saying? Didn't we come here to annul the engagement?"

A vein bulged on Song Yan's forehead as she looked at the arrogant young man and said:

"Break off the engagement? What do you mean, break off the engagement? When did I ever say I wanted to break off the engagement?"

"You've been saying you want to annul the engagement for years! You said you would never marry a man you've never met, let alone a cripple. Before we entered the Gu residence, you swore that you would annul this engagement no matter what." The arrogant young man said.

With each word spoken by the arrogant young man, Song Yan felt a little more guilty. She looked at Gu Yan and saw him smiling at her. His smile was as pure and beautiful as a blooming snow lotus, making Song Yan's heart flutter.

She stepped forward and grabbed Gu Yan's hand, saying:

"Brother Gu Yan, don't listen to his nonsense. I absolutely did not say those things. I am a very traditional person. Marriage is a matter of choice, arranged by parents and matchmakers. I am yours in life and in death."

Gu Yan glanced at her hand that was being held, and pulled her hand away from it:

"Sister Song Yan, I think this brother makes a lot of sense. We've never even met before, so it's really not appropriate."

Why are all the girls these days like this? They like to touch him as soon as they meet him. Can't they be a little more reserved?

"No, it's perfect, it's perfect!" Song Yan said anxiously.

Good heavens! Why didn't anyone tell her that her fiancé was so handsome?! If she had known he looked like this earlier, she would have married him long ago! Break off the engagement? Break off the engagement? What's the point? So what if he lost his cultivation? She can just protect him from now on!!

"Junior Sister Yan'er, what's wrong with you? Don't be fooled by his face. No matter how handsome he is, he's still a cripple. Do you really want to marry a cripple?" the arrogant young man said excitedly.

He kept calling him a cripple, and the Gu family patriarch, Madam Gu, and the rest of the Gu family glared at him coldly, their eyes filled with a hidden murderous intent.

The old man in the gray robe looked at Song Yan and said, "Yan'er, do you know what you're doing?"
