The top killer in the world, codenamed "Ajiu", has blood on his hands and a desolate heart. My last mission was to assassinate the sick and weak protons sent by the enemy in exchange for freedom. However, when the tip of my sword was pressed against his throat, what I saw was a pair of eyes that showed no fear, only deathly silence. I accidentally put down my sword, and therefore became the target of the organization that trained me.
When I was on the run, the proton I was supposed to kill, Xiao Yan, reached out to me. He used to help me get rid of the past as a bait, inviting me to be his only sharp knife in the dark. We went from being assassins and targets to being seemingly distant allies. I taught him how to survive in the treacherous palace, and he used his gentleness and wisdom to melt the ice in my heart little by little. We test each other, redeem each other, and give each other our backs in life and death crises. When the people who were chasing me merged with the forces that murdered him, and a huge conspiracy came to light, I realized that the moment I gave up on assassinating him, I not only chose a new life, but also chose a deep love and bond that could burn the world.
