Cool, amnesiac female assassin x Beautiful, frail, tragic, down-on-his-luck heir
[Heroine's POV]
When she woke up, she was wrapped up from head to toe, with not a single uninjured patch of skin. She couldn't remember anything except the name Qi Sang.
In this strange place called Dingshan, she immediately fixed her gaze on her cousin, Xuan Chizhou, who seemed just as out of place as she did.
"Cousin, since neither of us is happy here, why don't we leave Dingshan?"
"Where would we go?"
"The world is vast. We can make a home anywhere."
After her third escape attempt failed, she found herself standing in front of that same pile of corpses once more. Only then did she realize she had been a pawn all along.
So, after she remembered everything, it was Qi Sang who truly died. The one who had been alive all along was Chao Yuan.
Xuan Chizhou: "You said we'd make a home anywhere. Do you want to take it back now?"
Chao Yuan: "Is it too late to take it back?"
[Hero's POV]
His mother died young, his father was placed under house arrest, and he was afflicted with a deadly poison. To evade his pursuers, Xuan Chizhou had planned to seek refuge with his maternal uncle, but by chance, he rescued his long-missing cousin from a pile of corpses.
If it came down to who had it worse, his cousin seemed to have suffered more than him.
To stop her life from getting any worse, Xuan Chizhou shielded her from countless overt and covert attacks.
Even if she pointed her sword at him, he would willingly take another step toward her.
Chao Yuan: "Our entanglement ends here."
Xuan Chizhou: "If you don't want to be my sister, then be my wife."
