An assassin who has only ever taken jobs to kill somehow ends up accepting a mission to capture someone.
The moment they meet, the target says she's fallen in love with her at first sight. What should Luo Suigu do?
Pretend she didn't hear.
But Shu Yu doesn't give up. Every time Luo Suigu brings her food, she tells her how she feels.
During their time together:
She offers to wash Luo Suigu's clothes, though the river carries them away...
She offers to cook for her, though she sets the house on fire...
When Luo Suigu returns from yet another assassination mission, she helps bandage her wounds.
Even when things don't go as planned, the journey is always lovely.
On the day they are supposed to hand over the target, Shu Yu thinks she can't soften this stone and is ready to use force. Then she hears the other woman say, "I've changed my mind."
When they meet again, the woman has violated the rules and is being hunted. She collapses, barely alive, at the gates of the Shu residence.
At first:
Shu Yu: "Do you know what love at first sight is?"
"I think... I've fallen in love with you at first sight."
Luo Suigu: "..."
In her mind: What's gotten into her?
In the end:
Luo Suigu: "Maybe... it's because I fell in love with you at first sight."
Shu Yu: "Mm. Love at first sight."
A stoic-looking but secretly wary, clueless assassin & a sickly beauty in white with a calculating, ruthless side
