#I Mistook the Tyrant for My Sister and Kept Inviting Him to Bathe With Me#
Jiang Wuyou transmigrates into a book, becoming a ridiculous good-for-nothing with the physique of a top-tier assassin but wildly inconsistent martial skills: sometimes useless, sometimes godlike.
Her mission: assassinate Xiao Jichen, the legendary bloodthirsty, face-concealing, unhinged tyrant!
Jiang Wuyou's vision goes black. "Thanks, but I have intermittent chicken-wing strength. This is way out of my league. I need a cheat skill, fast!"
To stay alive, she decides to find herself a powerful ally first! Her target: a stunningly beautiful, absurdly strong "big sister Daoist nun" living in seclusion at a temple!
How can someone this gorgeous be beautiful and aloof all by herself? She absolutely has to get close!
Jiang Wuyou puts all her acting skills to work, playing the cool indifference of a fellow assassin and... uh, showing some concern?
"Sis, want to team up? You do the killing, I'll keep watch?"
The young Daoist nun (without even raising an eyelid): "..."
Jiang Wuyou keeps at it. "Sis, let's cuddle! Your skin is so lovely. Share some tips with me?"
The young Daoist nun (turning away coldly): "..."
Jiang Wuyou holds out a steaming basin of water strewn with flower petals, beaming with enthusiasm. "Sis! Come take a bath with me. It's relaxing and great for your skin! Good sisters should have nothing to hide from each other!"
The young Daoist nun (ears burning red, grinding the words out through clenched teeth): "...You. Get. Out. Now!"
Jiang Wuyou: Tsk, what a spicy little pepper! No matter, giving up isn't in my vocabulary!
At last, she succeeds in becoming arm-in-arm "besties" with her, and settles into a daily routine of her running, the other chasing, and her being unable to escape even if she grew wings (?): a pair of "plastic-flower sisters."
She thinks she's taken in a delicate, prickly, proud little flower, never realizing that at night this "little flower" turns into Xiao Jichen, the emperor who makes every official tremble in fear.
He watches this woman with interest. He finds her troublesome and noisy, yet somehow... being treated like a "dear sister" and protected feels... rather novel?
Until one day, the heroine goes all out to rescue her "sister" from the emperor's clutches, and nearly punches the mask right off the emperor himself...
Jiang Wuyou stares at the face before her, identical to her "sister's," and freezes completely.
Xiao Jichen leisurely dusts off his imperial robes, smiles, and speaks in a low voice:
"What is it, my 'dear sister'? Still want to protect me this time... or shall we arrange another chance to... have nothing to hide from each other?"
#Help! I think I not only hit the emperor, but came on to him too!#
Theme: Be free and unrestrained, and don't let fate hold you captive.
Wow, my ancient love is back and updated.
The author actually wrote a new article I have missed that book for many years
