[Young Master of the General's Estate x Female Assassin]
In her previous life, Chen Guqing was a beggar living on the streets. A string of candied haws was all it took to trick her into becoming an assassin. One day, she was assigned to get close to Ji Wei, the youngest son of the General's Estate, and find a chance to kill him.
But she couldn't understand why, when she was willing to give up her life and let the poison take hold rather than kill him, he would kneel and beg for an antidote on her behalf, only to be killed.
Covered in blood, Ji Wei sat in the middle of a sea of flames. He held Chen Guqing tightly, refusing to let go. His bloodstained fingers trembled as they brushed her cheek. He spoke his final words: “What a shame. I never got to take you to see this world.”
In this life, Chen Guqing opened her eyes again, reborn just before the moment she had been tricked away. She chose to knock the candied haws aside, beat up the villain, escape her pursuers, and go see the world.
This time, she didn't want to drag Ji Wei into her troubles. She set out alone to see the world, but while fleeing from a group of thugs, she collapsed in front of Ji Wei's carriage. With no other choice, she joined Ji Wei on a journey to find a doctor and medicine, and experience the suffering of ordinary people.
Everyone said that Ji Wei, the young master of the General's Estate, had a peerless beauty and highly skilled martial artist for a retainer. No one knew that Ji Wei granted her every request and loved her with all his heart.
P.S. 1. This is an imaginary historical setting, so don't nitpick the details.
2. Both leads are each other's first, and there is a three-year age gap.
3. Happy ending.
Theme: Go see the mountains, go see the rivers, seek out all living beings, and find yourself.
Why is the male protagonist not with the female protagonist!!!
