[Both leads are romantically inexperienced] [Ensemble cast] [Everyday life of assassins] [Happy ending]
There’s both angst and sweetness, with a dark tone. Read with caution if you’re easily frightened.
No matter how good your kung fu is, you’re still vulnerable to castration; no matter how amazing your special ability is, one bullet can take you down.
Lin Xiaonuo hit a career low: one minute she was giving pigs their final spa treatment at a slaughterhouse, and the next she was fired for being “too skilled at it.”
Then she received a “friendly recruitment offer” from an assassin organization
A legendary genius assassin makes her spectacular debut!
“If the heavens had never given us Lin Xiaonuo, the path of assassination would have been shrouded in darkness for all eternity!”
“Elegant and noble, coldly beautiful and mysterious~”
“I’m a black rose blooming alone at midnight!~”
Her superior’s orders shattered Lin Xiaonuo’s fantasy:
“Rookie, go to the countryside and play the village fool. Stand by for further orders.”
Huh?
What happened to being noble?
What happened to being coldly beautiful?
Lin Xiaonuo flipped open The Assassin’s Guide to Life, looking utterly dejected.
The title page bore large, blood-red characters: An assassin is a killer. If the first strike fails, flee a thousand miles.
Love always wounds the heartless, and a heartless assassin is the deadliest of all.
“A heartless assassin? Sounds intimidating, but I just don’t like it!”
The tall, lanky man in glasses took off his mask
“Lin Xiaonuo, you really are a fool.”
All characters in the story are adults, and the story has no connection to real life.
