In the year 8888, after wars and natural disasters, humanity migrated together and divided into the Eastern and Western Districts.
Ruan Qiu's assassination target was Jiang Luan, the rumored ruler of the Eastern District.
Ruthless, sinister, and willing to do anything to achieve his goals.
After his assassination attempts "failed" time and again, Ruan Qiu realized that his target could be reborn without limit.
He had meant to give up, but when he saw the bounty, he... rallied again.
He couldn't help it. The employer was paying too much.
After that, he was surprised to discover that every time Jiang Luan died, he was clutching something Ruan Qiu liked.
Knowing that waste was shameful, Ruan Qiu cheerfully swiped it from his hands.
But it was taking too long, and the employer was gradually losing patience. They demanded to cancel the contract.
Ruan Qiu panicked and promised to finish the assassination within a week.
After thinking it over, he decided that everyone had a weakness. Remembering zombie movies, he figured that maybe a bullet to the head would finally kill Jiang Luan for good.
So he set up his sniper rifle and waited for the target to appear.
The organization leader had said that snipers should keep a piece of ice in their mouths to stop their breath from showing in winter, so Ruan Qiu did the same.
But he wasn't very practiced, and the ice made his head ache.
Just as he was about to spit out the ice, someone suddenly grabbed him by the hair and kissed him, deftly passing the ice over with their tongue.
While Ruan Qiu caught his breath, Jiang Luan slowly bent down to meet his eyes. His voice was husky with lingering desire, utterly captivating. "Baby, you accepted the gifts I gave you and killed me so many times. It's not too much to ask for a little reward, is it?"
Later, the employer angrily demanded of Ruan Qiu, "Why is this taking so long?"
To their surprise, Ruan Qiu snapped back, "Sorry, but I'm protective of my own. I can't bring myself to hurt my wife."
Then he added, "I'd advise you to cancel the bounty as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'll kill anyone you send. If that doesn't work... I can always kill you, the employer."
A brainless little sweet romance written with total abandon. It probably won't be very long. Every plot point serves the romance between the leads. All that matters is the sweetness.
The bit about getting kissed while holding ice in your mouth during a sniper mission came from the internet~
The whole story is drafted, and I'll start posting once it's finished. I mainly don't want to rush the word count later and pad the plot. From what I can tell, I'll probably revise the blurb as I go, but the trope will stay the same, because the scenes I'm writing now seem even more swoon-worthy~
