[A cold, beautiful, unhinged woman who is determined to die & A carefree young assassin who shows no mercy]
An assassin falls for his assassination target | An unconventional two-way pursuit
[Blurb]
The Junzige Pavilion's Death Warrant is absolute: if you fail after accepting one, you forfeit your head.
Xiao Jingxue, ranked fourth in the pavilion and known throughout the martial world as the "Master of a Thousand Faces," accepted a Death Warrant.
He had three months to assassinate Su Lingyu, the second daughter of the Su family.
Rumor had it that the Su family of Jiangnan, masters of the sword, and the Liang family of the southern region, a family of curse-casters, had always been on good terms. Over the past century, they had arranged several marriages between their families.
In three months, the second daughter of the Su family would marry into the Liang family. Everyone would be happy.
Before setting out with her father, Su Lingyu took the rumored Death Warrant and wrote two lines addressed to one person.
A single Death Warrant brought to light an entanglement that had lasted a hundred years.
The grudges of the martial world from a century ago turned to blood, giving rise to one grim walled city after another.
Within those cities, people dressed in finery, their souls bound by an immortality curse carved into their very bones, living like puppets.
But a group of young people fought until they were battered and bloody, kicking the city gates to pieces.
[Little skit]
Xiao Jingxue first saw the second daughter of the Su family at the Hundred Flowers Festival.
Just as he was about to strike, he caught sight of several top experts flying over from the corner of his eye.
He thought, That was close! This must be the second daughter's trick.
Su Lingyu went to great lengths to send the others away, then waited for the chance to be killed.
When she turned back, she saw a man fleeing in a panic.
She thought, That's it? He can't be an assassin from Junzige Pavilion.
Who could have guessed that the Master of a Thousand Faces, who had never failed before, would repeatedly hit a wall when it came to the second daughter of the Su family?
A few days later,
Xiao Jingxue: "What? How have I still not killed her?"
Su Lingyu: "What! How has he still not killed me?"
After they fell in love,
Xiao Jingxue: "Stop! If you kill her, you kill me!"
The lines in the palm record the fickleness of fate, while vermilion between the brows marks the end of the land.
Even if this play in the mortal world was never ours to begin,
we must still snap the pipa strings with our own hands at the finale, and burn them into a lonely flame on a solitary boat.
[Reading guide]
1. One-on-one romance, both leads have no prior romantic or sexual partners.
2. An ensemble story, not pure wuxia. Some elements are fantasy.
3. The leads have intense romantic tension. The romance develops slowly, but is very sweet.
4. The setting is very loose, with many original worldbuilding details.
5. Apart from the male and female leads, the other three members of the main group have no romantic storylines with one another. Their relationships are purely friendships.
6. Thanks to all the lovely readers who support this story.
Theme: Even a caged bird with broken wings has the courage to break free.
From what I can tell so far, the author's writing style is quite good~ This plot gives me the motivation to continue following it! 💪💪
I don't know if the author can still read it🥺. I really really like this article. Your writing is very delicate and touching. I have been thinking that, at least here, my clicks and attention are my votes. I want to vote for the excellent works that I support. Even if it seems a bit immature and has not been seen or liked by many people, at least I have to cast this vote to tell you that I particularly like your article. What touches me most about this article is the implicit emotions hidden in the actions or environment, so dense in the rain that nothing needs to be made explicit. The author's writing style is very unique. I regret not being able to see the rest of their story. But it's a pity. I can feel that the author's current life is a bit bumpy. Seven months have passed. I don't know how you are doing. I hope you are safe and happy. If possible, can we meet again in words one day? 🤩
Finally waiting for you, I have been here 🌈🌈
😢Coming back makes me very happy🫶🏻
My waiting for you is not painful or tiring at all. .
Suddenly I thought about why the heroine hired someone else to kill her instead of committing suicide. Was she trying to cause trouble for the assassination organization? [Covering face, laughing and crying]
Teacher, don't be too anxious, I will be waiting for you to come back🥰

🥺Teacher, I really like this article, I will wait for you
Teacher, I will wait for you to come back🥺
