Flirting Hard with the Grim Assassin in a Male-Oriented Novel

Modern woman Hua Xiaozhu transmigrates into a martial arts novel aimed at male readers, as a sickly female supporting character with the same name. She knows the original character is bound by a disastrous marriage: after the wedding, her husband will abuse her to death.

Hua Xiaozhu transmigrated before the original character's wedding. Since she was already here, she could only grit her teeth and figure out how to deal with the problem at hand: overturning the Jiang family's marriage arrangement.

And the best way to cancel a marriage arrangement was to get engaged to someone else.

Hua Xiaozhu set her sights on Qi Xuanzheng, the third male lead in the original story, and treated him as her lifeline, unwilling to let go once she had hold of him.

Blushing scarlet, the young woman wrapped her arms tightly around the waist of Qi Xuanzheng, the number one assassin in the martial world, and pleaded in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Please take pity on me, Young Master Qi!"

She was mortified, but all she got in response was the young swordsman turning and walking away, his face ice-cold.

Hua Xiaozhu originally thought the young swordsman Qi Xuanzheng would never help her again.

Who could have guessed that on the day the original male lead sent his betrothal gifts, Qi Xuanzheng would show up? She never imagined he'd toss her a jade hairpin with a glowering expression and coldly say:

"Keep it safe. If you lose it, you can't be Qi Xuanzheng's wife."

Hua Xiaozhu thought he was only helping her this once. Little did she know, he'd go on helping her for the rest of her life.

The male lead's perspective:

Qi Xuanzheng had assumed the woman he'd run into this time was another delicate little white flower. How could someone who couldn't even wield a weapon possibly stand by his side? If she ran into one of his enemies seeking revenge, wouldn't she just end up dead at their hands?

But as time passed, Qi Xuanzheng gradually realized he'd misjudged her.

This lively, seemingly harmless little white flower had thorns all along. Her claims that she loved him were lies, and so were her claims that she wanted to marry him. Everything she did was for her own benefit. She had not the slightest desire for him.

That night.

Qi Xuanzheng gripped her chin, his eyes cold. "So pitiful, crying like a pear blossom in the rain. I was so thoroughly taken in by that act of yours."

Hua Xiaozhu: "You chose to believe it, Young Master. How can you call that deception?"

Qi Xuanzheng didn't get angry. Instead, he laughed. "You used me and then tossed me aside. How am I supposed to settle this score? I suppose I'll have to marry you and torment you every day."
