Back to Field: A Fugitive Assassin Meets Zifeng at the Mushroom House

Long Yin was the King of Assassins, a name that struck terror throughout the global underworld. At fourteen, he slaughtered everyone in his training camp and fled. After three years on the run, he went into hiding in Wengcao Village in western Hunan. He thought he would spend the rest of his life helping his grandmother farm and chop firewood, until a variety show came to the village. The crew rented his old house and recruited him as a local worker at Mushroom House.

On the first day of the livestream, Zhang Zifeng came by herself to ask for help. In front of the cameras, Long Yin chopped half a wall's worth of firewood in half an hour, stunned everyone with a quick sketch in two minutes, and made the little sister smile as she ate a bowl of plain noodles. The whole internet erupted: "How can this country boy be more handsome than a top-tier star?"

But only he knew that the tension in his muscles in a room full of cameras came from the vigilance drilled into his instincts by training, and the slight movement of his fingers when a stranger came near was the reflex of someone always ready to kill. As Tong Liya smiled and linked arms with him for a photo, and Huang Lei and He Jiong marveled over his sketchbook, the comments flooded with "Heaven-sent little brother." Long Yin, meanwhile, thought: Grandma said I should do my job properly, so I guess none of these people need killing. Until one day, during a live broadcast, a black-clad viewer suddenly appeared outside Mushroom House.
