[Strong Female Lead] + [Rivalry Between Suitors] + [1vN, All Male Leads Are Virgins] + [Redemption]
The moment the assassin Ling Jin clawed her way out of the earth, she made up her mind: she would live well.
In her past life, she was an assassin. In this life, she is an unwanted daughter. Buried alive in a desolate forest and betrayed by her own family, she takes on the hatred of the original owner of this body as well.
She thought her only path was revenge and the blade, never imagining that people would light the way she had walked, one by one.
The master of an assassin’s guild, who holds life and death in his hands, tells her, “I’ll do whatever you say.”
The wealthy Jiangnan merchant who puts profit first tells her, “Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you.”
The poison doctor who keeps everyone at arm’s length tells her, “Don’t go. Stay with me.”
The spirited young general who guards the nation tells her, “I’ll protect you for the rest of your life.”
They all say Ling Jin is the light that entered their worlds.
But Ling Jin only wants to say: she just doesn’t want to die again.
The snow fell on the capital year after year, while the powerful feasted amid clinking cups.
Someone asked her, “Miss Ling, with no one to rely on, how will you make a place for yourself in the capital?”
Ling Jin lowered her eyes, her fingertips brushing the short blade at her waist. A faint smile touched her lips.
“Who says I have no one to rely on?”
“Those standing in the shadows…”
“Are all mine.”
That night, Xiao Jingci caught her by the wrist, his voice low and hoarse. “Yours?”
Shen Zhiyu toyed with his folding fan, his peach-blossom eyes curving. “Miss Ling, you’d better keep your word.”
Su Qingyan silently offered her a freshly prepared ointment, the tips of his ears turning red.
Pei Xingxiao stepped in front of her and declared, “I was here first!”
