Timid, scheming concubine vs. cold, obsessive assassin
Xie Yan, the capital's top assassin, has always hated two things: women's tears and trouble.
Unfortunately, Huazhi, the little concubine in the marquis's manor, is both.
She clings to his leg and begs him to make her his official concubine, then turns around and plots how to run away with his money.
He thinks he has taken in a troublesome little temptress, but he doesn't know that all her flattery and fawning are simply ways to stay alive.
Only after he breaks her wings with his own hands does he realize that this greedy, death-fearing little sparrow has long since become his only salvation.
