[Something feels a little off. Since there aren't many words yet, I'm stopping updates to rewrite it. I bow in apology.]
Zhang Xun has always thought of himself as a beast.
As the greatest force behind the new emperor's ascension, he rose over a mountain of bones and corpses. Though still young, he held power over the whole court, and everyone feared him.
People said there was probably no one in the world he wouldn't dare, or be unwilling, to kill.
Only Zhang Xun knew that on the night the entire Chen family was executed, amid the sea of blood he had wrought, he had glimpsed a small, trembling figure hidden in a corner, lit by the last rays of the setting sun.
That year, before the halls of the underworld, with the ledger of life and death before him, he inexplicably lifted his brush and casually spared just one person: her.
Ordinary girl with nothing going for her X unhinged thrill-seeker
1. One-on-one romance, happy ending, first love for both.
2. Pure fantasy setting, something like an ancient-school version of a teacher-student romance (?).
3. You could think of it as a deadly romance between a top female assassin from the Eastern Depot and a former commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Theme: Grow tenaciously, and evil will be repaid
