It Was All Because I Let My Guard Down

Shi Yun was an utterly ordinary, lazy cannon-fodder character whose professional job was to take a blade for the protagonist. The work was easy. She just had to watch the protagonists' melodramatic entanglements, then, when Heaven's will said the time was right, resolutely take a blade for the protagonist and collect her pay. But Ning Chiyi had been a handful ever since he was little. His spiritual channels were sealed, he was disabled, his parents didn't love him, and someone deliberately pushed him off a cliff. Left alone, he looked like he would die. Her heart softened for a moment. When no one was looking, she secretly carried him out of the abyss at the bottom of the cliff. Twenty years later, Shi Yun finally got her chance. Delighted, she threw herself in front of the male lead, hoping to die. Instead, the villain holding a sword grabbed her and pulled her into his arms. Ning Chiyi clutched her tight, gritting his teeth like a caged beast. "Would you really give up your life for him?" Shi Yun: "???" What? I'm trying to clock out!!!! Theme: Sow good seeds, reap good fruit.
