The everyday romance of a couple of assassins
A laid-back, sarcastic heroine x a foxy, nurturing man
After retiring from the business, Cui Yingzhi settled into a lazy, comfortable life of leisure.
Until she picked up a foxy man.
The foxy man was handsome, considerate, and good in a fight. He could cook, do chores, and kill people with equal ease.
But he was caught up in all sorts of grudges and enmities.
After she'd been forced to endure three assassination attempts in a row during the first two months after taking him in, Cui Yingzhi could finally take no more. She reluctantly decided to let him go.
Qu Ci, thrown out of the house, showed no displeasure. Before leaving, he calmly reminded Cui Yingzhi:
"After I leave, you'll have to take care of everything around the house yourself."
"Remember to clean indoors every other day. Bugs and ants gather in the corners, so don't miss any. In autumn, there are lots of fallen leaves, so sweep the courtyard every day. Zou's sesame cakes, your favorite, are only sold for an hour in the morning, so you'll have to line up at dawn. And as for Coalball, young birds are hard to keep alive, so you need to feed it milk every two hours. I haven't finished checking the shop's accounts for this month, either. Remember to go over the other two ledgers."
"I've already made a list of anything else you need to remember and left it on the desk. Is there anything you want to say to me?"
After a long silence, Cui Yingzhi blinked and said sincerely:
"I love you."
"Please don't go."

Next book: How Could My Nemesis Possibly Like Me?
Grumpy cat x smiling schemer | Sickly female strategist x sweet-faced, dark-hearted caretaker
Xie Ruhui was born into the prestigious Xie clan of Chen Commandery. In her youth, she studied under a renowned Confucian scholar. Though her behavior was unrestrained, she was talented and learned, and had long enjoyed a great reputation.
In the twelfth year of Xinghe, twenty-six-year-old Xie Ruhui failed in her rebellion and died in a winter fire.
Reborn, Xie Ruhui learned from bitter experience. To stay alive, she made three plans:
First, dump her cold, unfeeling fiancé, a political machine.
Second, kill the crazy princess who was inexplicably obsessed with murdering her.
And most important of all, deal with the culprit who had driven her to rebellion: her nemesis and fellow disciple, Xun Yin.
On the surface, Xun Yin was humble and courteous, disciplined and proper. In truth, he was a treacherous, vicious beast.
As an enemy, he was a real handful. But as a friend, he would make a pretty good dog.
Xie Ruhui decided to persuade Xun Yin to make the crazy princess fight him instead.
Three months after her rebirth, she diligently reviewed her plans and carefully laid out her schemes. Everything seemed to be unfolding just as expected.
But the engagement that had entangled her for years in her previous life suddenly took an unexpected turn.
Xun Yin had come to break off the engagement with her useless fiancé.
*
From that point on, one thing after another began to stray from its proper course.
Xie Ruhui felt that something was increasingly off.
Her unease peaked when Xie Ruhui received a series of flirtatious advances from Xun Yin, so ambiguous that they were just shy of making his feelings explicit.
With a grave expression, she pulled Xun Yin aside for a serious, face-to-face talk.
"Xun Yin, you can't just throw all morality out the window."
"?"
"I can accept you cheating me out of money or seducing me, but pretending to have feelings for me is going too far."
"??"
"If you need to use me for something, just tell me honestly. I'll think it over."
"???"
Xie Ruhui: My junior brother likes me? Impossible! That's ridiculous! He must only be pretending to love me so he can use me!
Xun Yin, whose credibility is shot: Emergency! How do I make my senior sister believe I really like her?
Theme: Tenderness and love.
Who knows how desperate I feel after reading this book because I like the writing style so much that I rushed to search the author's inventory and found that I only had this one - woo woo woo author, baby, take good care of your health, mommy, be hungry, eat.
Brother Aci: It doesn't matter if you don't understand what you are saying, I will always haunt you forever.
Ahhhhh, so cute, so cute! The little fox baby has been looking for the treasure for a long time!
Special surprise! I never expected to see such an article in Jinjiang this year! The chivalrous atmosphere is very strong, but it is also the life of ordinary people in ancient times (compared to the love of Tianhuang nobles), which is very warm! The author said it was a sweet article at the beginning, and I believed it ( bushi As far as the emotional line between the two is concerned, there is really no cruelty. Later, the amnesia is a little bit cruel, but it is not cruel, but it is very delicious, and it also makes Xiao Cui let go of some obsession, not just for the sake of being bloody, wonderful! Oh, this Xiao Qu is also full of human feelings, you understand her, good character, hehe, the supporting role is also well portrayed by the author. The supporting characters are not reduced to backgrounds, and the supporting characters with more words have their own stories. They are all living beings and have their own lives. These subtle descriptions make the world of Jianghu more real. Hey, I think the biggest abuse of this article is the life experience of the two people. It is too miserable, but fortunately it is painful in the end. This article really stood out to me. The author's writing is good, and the story arrangement is compact. The ancient style is really strong, and it will not be linked to modern times (this is really important, I beg the author who writes ancient poems to pay attention to it). But speaking of it, the emotional development of Xiao Cui and Xiao Qu was a bit disconnected in the beginning, which did not allow me to capture their feelings very well. If they had known each other from the beginning, it wouldn't be too sudden. But at the beginning, one of them only knew each other, and there was no trust in each other. It was true that they fell in love at first sight, but it didn't feel like a heart-to-heart right away. In addition, this article is a combination of meat and vegetables! (Delicious!) The ending is full of flowers!
Thanks to the author for writing this article! [Three-flowered cat head]
