The Undercover Spy Pretending to Be a Rookie

Zhao Chaosheng was a top-tier assassin. The one time she failed, she became wanted worldwide.

To escape, she fled to a border city where plant mutations were at their worst. Though it was close to the sea, the sea could not be seen from there. People died and were injured in great numbers every day, and the city served as humanity's second line of defense. Anyone coming after her would have to think carefully about how many lives they had to spare.

Then she entered the home of a woman who had just died. The woman was a spy, a rookie at that.

Zhao Chaosheng took a look at the organization. They were all the culprits behind her being wanted.

A grand plan took shape in her mind: she would make sure they all paid for it!

Pretending to be a rookie was easy.

Having someone familiar around was hard.

Especially when she ran into an officer from her former organization. As a representative of the military, he stood on equal footing with her former assassins' organization, though they rarely met.

People still joked that they were two kings who never crossed paths.

The awkward part was that he recognized her. He was a widower, and whenever he talked about his wife, he called her "ungrateful," yet he kept following Zhao Chaosheng around.

Zhao Chaosheng: ?

Zhao Chaosheng: !

Could he have fallen for me?

No way! I already have a first love. (Walks away) (Turns back) (Walks away again) (Turns back again)

Reader's Guide:

1. A plant-mutation setting of the author's own design: a gloomy, self-effacing widower who leads the military x a cool-headed, unrestrained assassin leader

2. It's fairly short.

3. The wife is the female lead, and the first love is the male lead =v=
