The Short-Lived Assassin Is Still Trying to Charm People and Stay Alive

Zhongli Jingyao probably became a sickly man with little time to live because he got too much blood on his hands as an assassin.

The only person in the world who can save him is an immortal with a locked heart. To be saved, Zhongli Jingyao must first find a way to unlock it.

“His heart is locked. I want to become the key that opens it. Or... perhaps I have always been that key.”

One longs to die but cannot * one longs to live but has little time left

Yisi * Zhongli Jingyao

Set in the Republican era, in an imaginary world.

Don’t overthink it. Thank you!
