   "After Becoming a Professional Assassin, I Discovered My Boss Was My Husband" By day, she's a lazy bum; by night, she's a fiercely competitive assassin. Until she discovers—her boss is actually her handsome, albeit lame, husband?! Yu Xiaoyu, a sickly rich girl, was "abducted" to the mountains by a beautiful white-haired woman at the age of twelve. For five years, she was fed wild vegetables and honed her martial arts skills, finally "graduating" and leaving the mountain—only to find her master was a wanted criminal, leaving her unemployed. Back home, she's forced into a bridal sedan chair and married off to the rumored lame third young master of the Shen family. Her husband is gentle and handsome, but he's too good at telling stories, causing her to fail her baby-making mission every night. Until she saves the assassin Mo Qi, starting her second career: a top agent in the Shadow Pavilion, codenamed "Rose." By day, she helps her sisters-in-law lose money while doing needlework; by night, she's masked and assassinates corrupt officials—a fulfilling and paid life. Her only worry: the organization's big boss is elusive, and those eyes always make her heart race. Until she ran away pregnant… no, I mean, she was ambushed while on a mission with her baby, and the BOSS descended from the sky—removing his mask, revealing none other than her gentle, "impaired" husband! Shen Yan raised an eyebrow and chuckled: "Wife, performance bonus deducted, double the story tonight." Yu Xiaoyu hugged her nursing baby tightly: "Boss, can we settle the maternity leave allowance first?" Later, rumors circulated: that killer couple always carried out missions with their child. Nursing on the rooftop × slaying people downstairs, managing to balance career and family perfectly. Shen Yan sighed for the 108th time, looking at his wife who was pregnant again: "Madam, can I request permission to operate alone?" Yu Xiaoyu touched her belly, her eyes sparkling: "Next mission, I'll bring the fourth child along for prenatal education!" [Reading Guide] 1.
