After transmigrating, Ling Xiao found herself in the body of her counterpart in a parallel world.
And her counterpart in this world had a benefactor who had gone missing.
As luck would have it, Ling Xiao was the greatest assassin in the land, the sort who could wave a hand and have people rushing to deliver information. Finding someone was easy as could be.
Being an assassin had only one downside: it was exhausting enough to make you cough up blood. Otherwise, it was perfect.
She returned to her old profession as an assassin, all to find that benefactor.
Who could have guessed she'd discover that... she hadn't transmigrated after all?

One night, while carrying out an assassination, she lay in wait for her target to walk right into her trap.
...Why was the person who showed up the target's younger brother?
Never mind. She'd take advantage of the situation, capture him as bait, and lure the target out.
But after abducting him, Ling Xiao discovered that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't shake this "bait."
Ling Xiao looked at the pitiful young man in front of her, pleading with her not to leave him behind, then at the letter warning her that he was cold-blooded and devious and telling her to be on her guard. She fell into thought.

Quan Xi had thought his life would always be this way: plagued by illness, cold of heart and distant from others.
Then one day, he went out into the courtyard for once to admire the moon, and unexpectedly saw the most beautiful thing in his life.
He thought himself incredibly lucky. He'd taken one step toward the world, and the world had shown him its beauty in return.
Quan Xi made careful plans at every step, hoping only that this beautiful thing would look his way a little longer.
If she wished it, he would gladly offer her everything.
