The thing that Jiang Zhaoxin regrets most in his life is not that he slipped into a starting point novel and became cannon fodder, but that he acted too realistically in order to complete the mission.
She thought she was just a tool - clinging to the male protagonist, annoying him, breaking off the engagement and running away, getting the points, and going home to call it a day.
But Zhong Jin just didn't follow the script.
She deliberately pestered him, and he indulged her.
She pretended that she liked her, but he took it seriously.
All she could think about was "How to make him dislike me", but he had already written her into the rest of his life.
On the day when the young man was demoted to the frontier fortress, the wind blew the flags loudly.
He put the personal jade pendant into her palm and said in a low voice, "Give me three years."
Jiang Zhao's heart skipped a beat.
——The plot completely collapsed.
That night, she wrote a letter terminating the engagement and ran away overnight.
Three years later, Zhong Jin led his cavalry to defeat the Northern Qiang and returned to Beijing with great military exploits.
The once desolate prince was now the god of murder most feared by the Holy Emperor.
And she, despite being accused of "treachery," just wanted to survive until the mission was over and escape home quietly.
But she didn't expect——
The first thing Zhong Jin did after returning to Beijing was to check on her.
He checked to see if she was doing well over the years, to see if her fiancé had bullied her, to see if she... Still remembered him.
I didn't even expect——
She accidentally uncovered the secrets of the palace and was forced to get involved in the struggle for imperial power.
Assassinations, spring hunting, bandit suppression, counterinsurgency... At every critical moment of life and death, he was the one standing in front of her.
She thought he was seeking revenge.
He thought she was avoiding him.
She disguised herself as a man and fell off the horse without realizing it.
He noticed the truth but acted as if nothing had happened.
When her vest peels off layer by layer, when her lies are revealed one by one——
Zhong Jin finally understood that the little girl who said "I've always liked you" was lying to him from the beginning to the end.
But he didn't expose it.
He just put the divorce letter under his pillow and read it every night before falling asleep.
Then every night without her, the hatred turned into longing.
Purpose: Reject hot violence
