---Blurb---

The world's greatest young assassin & a sheltered young lady on the run

*

On the eve of her wedding to the Crown Prince, Ming Yue, eldest daughter of the Ming family of the capital, was suddenly abducted by Bafang Mu, the world's foremost assassin organization. Her fate was unknown.

It was said that Bafang Mu had deliberately left behind a Frostbind Mark as a warning. Their previous attempts to reform had all been a smokescreen. Their true goal was to usurp the throne and seize power.

In no time, Bafang Mu became the world's universally acknowledged enemy. The court ordered a campaign to wipe them out, vowing to fight them to the death.

As the rumors raged, the leader of Bafang Mu, who had long since retired and stopped paying attention to the outside world, had just killed a chicken. He stared blankly at the throng of soldiers charging toward him.

*

Ming Yue never expected that after using Bafang Mu to escape, she would actually meet Xu Yinhan, the legendary leader who killed without batting an eye.

He advanced step by step, carrying a long sword, like a smiling tiger who had licked blood from his blade.

The sharp sword pressed against her slender neck. She heard him say, "Didn't you say I abducted you?"

"Then why didn't you come looking for me?"

Ming Yue tried to stay calm. "I don't know where you live."

He seemed to realize something. "Oh." With a soft scoff, he said, "Thanks to you, I have no fixed abode."

"But it doesn't matter," he said with a chilling smile. "You're right here."

*

Later, Ming Yue had to run away while bringing along a man who might decide to kill her at any moment.

Then, when the truth came out, she was made the target of everyone's anger.

She stood in front of Xu Yinhan. "Go. We owe each other nothing."

She knew, too, that the only way to repay him in full for the disaster she had brought down on him was with her life.

But Xu Yinhan pushed her aside, drew his blade, and let it ring out with a shrill clang.

He stood in front of her, holding back a million soldiers.

"My reputation's already ruined. Helping you one more time won't hurt."

P.S.:

1. The heroine has a legitimate reason for making the hero take the blame. She's not selfish.

2. A pure-love sweet treat.

---Upcoming Novel---

Shang Li and Pei Wujin had been at odds for ten years.

They fought until she married into a prestigious family in a grand wedding, while Pei Wujin became emperor as a young man. Each had their own future, and they stayed out of each other's way.

Who could have guessed that on the eve of her wedding, her general husband would rebel and attempt to seize the throne, only to be captured by Pei Wujin in one fell swoop? Shang Li's entire clan was implicated as well.

Now that she had fallen so low, the last thing Shang Li wanted was to hear Pei Wujin mock her.

In the Taiqing Hall, Shang Li lay sprawled across a pile of memorials, crying pitifully.

The cold, imperious emperor propped his cheek on his hand and looked at her. "I even gave you the throne. What more do you want?"

Shang Li: "Can sitting on the throne bring my husband back?"

Pei Wujin replied nonchalantly, "You're the one who insisted on marrying him."

"And the other choice was you!"

Shang Li gave a soft snort. "If I'd chosen you, I would have had to become empress."

She had no interest in competing for attention among the women of the imperial harem.

The young man in imperial yellow stared at her, tapping his fingers against the desk, his eyes shrouded in darkness.

"Then you should have chosen me."

Otherwise, he truly didn't know if there would be enough great families left in the land for him to kill, all for the sake of marrying her.
