The Junior Sister Who Became a Gentle Madwoman

[Cool, aloof red-clad assassin x obsessive strategist who can't help falling in love]

After losing her memory, Xin Luo, the best assassin in the martial world, encounters a man in a wheelchair while pursuing a traitor.

He claims to be her senior brother and says they used to be close.

Xin Luo scoffs and says only three words: "You're lying."

His subordinates look at her with such suspicion that their eyes might as well be staring her down from two miles away. And he calls that being close?

In any case, she senses that he is too deep and calculating, and fears he has ulterior motives.

On their mission, she deliberately jolts his wheelchair and needles him with her words, thinking she can tear away the mask of this gentle senior brother.

But he only smiles faintly and says indulgently, "As long as Junior Sister is happy."

She feels as though she's punched a pillow.

As she searches for her memories, Xin Luo keeps waiting for him to show his true colors, but... he seems to genuinely treat her well.

She is bewitched by the way he keeps calling her Junior Sister. He gives her a dagger, praises her, kisses her, and even complains pitifully, "You're the junior sister, and I'm the senior brother. So why are you always ordering me around, while I do what you say? This isn't how real senior siblings act."

She pauses, then asks, following his lead, "Then what are real senior siblings like?"

He quickly pecks her on the lips and says with a straight face, "This is what real senior siblings are like."

She thinks life will go on like this, but one day her memories are bound to return.

One day, she feels more and more fragments of the past coming back. They really hadn't gotten along well before, but he never told her that they'd actually been enemies!

The great hall is dim, candlelight wavering.

She stares coldly at him and thrusts her sword toward him.

He doesn't dodge. Instead, he lunges straight into the blade.

Her eyes narrow, and she hurriedly retreats. Crimson drops of blood fall from his neck. At last, he sheds his gentle mask, grinning like a madman.

He won the gamble. She can't bear to kill him.

Xin Luo bites her lip and looks him in the eye. "If I made you lose your memory too, then deceived you and kept you locked by my side, would you accept it just as readily?"

Qi Xingji suddenly looks up.

Huh? Isn't that a reward?

P.S.

1. Both leads are sexually exclusive, one-on-one romance.

2. Set in a fictional world. The romance and plot intertwine early on; later, the story focuses mostly on the romance.

3. The male lead is disabled and uses a wheelchair at first, but he will recover later.

4. Neither lead is a conventional good person. They really do kill people!!! Read at your own risk.
