The Cannon Fodder Only Wants to Focus on Their Career Now

In her previous life, Han Chuxiao loved Su Yiyu with all her heart. In the end, she even took a bullet for him and died in his arms. As she lay dying, she still asked, "Did you ever love me at all?" His answer was, "I've always thought of you as a little sister." To hell with being his little sister! * In this life, Han Chuxiao invests the time and energy she once spent loving someone else in herself. She studies, learns foreign languages and medicine, and works hard to become an excellent doctor from the position of a lowly maid. Han Chuxiao thinks: What do romance and love matter? What could be more satisfying and fulfilling than saving lives? When she stands before Su Yiyu again, she no longer calls him "Brother Yiyu" like she did in her previous life. Instead, she extends her hand with restrained courtesy. "Hello, Mr. Su. I'm Han Chuxiao, a doctor." Confident and radiant, she is intoxicating. She is no longer the childhood sweetheart who followed Su Yiyu around, waiting for him to look back. Now she is the sun he has to chase. * After Su Yiyu becomes the warlord guarding the southeast, having earned his position through countless bloody battles, he realizes that his childhood sweetheart still thinks of him as the kind and righteous, pitiful boy he was when they were young. She is completely unguarded around that boy. So he hides his ruthlessness and murderous aura, puts on the mask of that pitiful boy, and stays by her side. He doesn't care if she thinks of him as the older brother from her childhood. As long as she stays by his side, that's enough. Until... He realizes that many people are coveting the rose he protects, and that she has begun smiling at other men. At last, Su Yiyu tears away the mask of the pitiful boy. With cool lips, he kisses the slender fingers that have saved countless lives. "You're the last of my conscience." You are everything I long for in light and beauty. Even if you don't love me, you have to stay by my side. -- Even if I have to imprison you. #A dark-hearted tycoon wears a lamb's skin to hunt down a little rabbit * A fictional alternate-republic-era setting.
