Old Qin Marries a Merchant

After the organization falls, Gin becomes a househusband

-

Midori Mako is somewhat famous throughout the Kanto region.

After ten years of making her way in the fashion world, her peers have given her two nicknames: "The Beautiful CEO" and "The Iron Lady."

But Mako likes the nickname they use behind her back even more: "Gambler."

She has always felt that her life is one big gamble.

At eighteen, she left behind the smooth path her family had laid out for her. Instead of taking the entrance exam for an elite girls' school, she secretly applied to a prestigious university overseas.

At twenty-three, she refused the blind date her family arranged, married a university classmate, and gave birth to a son the following year.

At twenty-five, she spotted a business opportunity and fought her way into Japan's fashion industry.

At twenty-eight, her career was thriving, but her marriage began to crack. Her husband couldn't tolerate the work-related socializing her business required, so they divorced.

At thirty, she sent her only child overseas to study and stayed in Tokyo to work hard.

At thirty-five, she found a dying man in her own storeroom.

-

The old organization disbanded, and the current one was wiped out.

Gin knew he had become expendable and was certain to die.

But he didn't want to die at the hands of those rats, nor did he want them to take him back for questioning.

So, on a night of torrential rain, after his last magazine ran dry, he used the last of his strength to push open a half-closed door, determined to meet his death in a storeroom so dark he couldn't see his own hand.

But when Gin opened his eyes again, he saw a pure white ceiling instead of hell.

Was this heaven?

Ha, how could it be? How could someone like him ever get into heaven?!

"Those rats found me after all..."

Someone opened the hospital room door.

Gin gave a cold laugh, expecting to see that detestable Public Security agent or that damned FBI agent.

But the person who entered was a woman.

-

They say that storerooms left unused for a long time might grow silver-haired agents.
