Born to Be Together

Story blurb: You and I were made for each other

Gui Yan & Chi Nan

[Do as she pleases, knows when to back down, sweet and soft heroine ★ ruthless, utterly unhinged beauty, a black-hearted master of poison and parasites]

*

There is a mysterious assassination and intelligence organization in the martial world called the Seven Killings Pavilion.

Its seven sect leaders each have their own duties and command one of its branches.

A killer shouldn't stand in the light? Who says so? Gui Yan doesn't care. She insists on seeing the human world again.

The moment she left, the Seven Killings Pavilion's Soul-Chasing Death Order was issued. Is that the price of betraying the organization?

Gui Yan flicked her wrist and tossed it into the lake. She wasn't afraid.

*

Gui Yan is having the time of her life in the human world.

That is, until he arrives. She and he are the only outstanding disciples of their generation to emerge from the Soul-Destroying Hall, and the entire martial world knows them as sworn enemies and bitter rivals.

The inn is strewn with corpses. Countless insects crawl over them, devouring their flesh.

Gui Yan sits calmly among them, sipping tea. The insects and snakes keep their distance.

At the inn's entrance stands a stunningly beautiful young man in luxurious silver-blue attire from the southern frontier. Bells hang from his raven-black hair, and his beauty is enough to make one's heart skip a beat.

"A Yan, you've been playing for quite a while."

Gui Yan brushes past him at the entrance without a care and walks into the night.

"Mind your own business. I'm not done having fun yet."

*

After getting caught, Gui Yan feels guilty, but still complains defiantly.

"Chi Nan, you're so mean. It's not like I'm never coming back, so why are you in such a hurry?"

"But you seem to be quite attached to the human world."

The young man raises a hand and gently strokes her face, his voice dark and distant.

"You don't care about me at all."

Reading guide:

1. Set in 2016 and 2017. One true pairing, happy ending. The leads' names come from the lines 'The smoke returns above the willows' and 'The snow has cleared south of the pond.'

2. An attempt at a villainous pairing. They're both killers, so naturally neither is a good person. The male lead is just more unhinged.

3. One of a series of short yandere stories. Wish upon a little star.
