Unhinged but devoted assassin x aloof and indifferent Imperial Preceptor
The Imperial Preceptor ranks just below the ruler and was born with a head of white hair.
Some say he turned white overnight from laboring over state affairs. Others say that is far too noble an explanation, and he simply brought it upon himself through his many misdeeds.
The Imperial Preceptor faces countless assassination attempts every day, and each time he escapes unscathed.
Until one day, a large lock of his hair was sliced off, and the assassin's mask was knocked away.
It was Chi Ming, the number one assassin of Great Qi.
The Imperial Preceptor was not surprised.
-
“Someone hired me to kill you.”
“I know.”
“You know? How?”
“Because I was the one who hired you.”
Why resent the autumn wind?
It is no resentment. It's just that whenever the autumn wind comes, you leave.
