An emotionally clueless but exceptionally skilled assassin x a scheming, lustful, bewitching powerful official
A Yu was a highly successful assassin. Her one and only failure was the corrupt official Xie Guanci.
He had a face as handsome as jade, but his methods were ruthless. He had poisoned his first wife, used his looks to seduce the powerful, and ridden his connections to seize control of the court.
After her assassination attempt failed, someone knocked A Yu unconscious with a club and sent her to the corrupt official's bed to be humiliated.
But on their wedding night, the corrupt official reeked of wine. When he approached her, however, he was gentle and tender. He lifted her veil, tears glistening at the corners of his eyes and his cheeks faintly flushed.
"My darling, are you willing to visit me in your dreams tonight?"

Xie Guanci's background was far from respectable. Rumor had it he was an illegitimate son of a powerful clan, and that he had once had a wife who shared his humble origins.
Everyone in the household said A Yu looked almost exactly like his first wife, and told her to imitate the woman to win the corrupt official's favor.
So...
She smeared poison around the rim of a cup and fed it to the corrupt official herself. He smiled as he drank, then forced most of it back into her mouth with a kiss.
She removed a wheel from the carriage and told the corrupt official to go to court without worrying. He was moved to tears, then dragged her into the carriage the next second to enjoy some intimate time together.
Endure it. She's a professional assassin. She'll retire as soon as this job is done.
"You corrupt official, prepare to die!" A Yu couldn't take it any longer. She pinned him to the snow with one hand, the tip of her blade against his throat. One inch closer, and he would be dead.
But the corrupt official gave her a sidelong glance with his foxlike eyes and deliberately opened his fur cloak, revealing a stretch of snow-white skin.
"In broad daylight... You like this too, my dear?"

A Yu: Is this man crazy? My knife hasn't even reached him, but his mouth got to me first?!
Xie Guanci: I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you... you.
