Fated to Be Apart

[Complete. Undergoing revisions and major edits.] She is a ruthless assassin whose every strike draws blood. Knowing she cannot defy fate, she simply goes with its flow. She should be cold and heartless, yet time and again she spares her targets. A trace of tenderness is reserved for him alone. He is a carefree young lord who knows nothing about anything. Though he knows danger lurks everywhere, there is little he can do. Beneath his nonchalant air lies a heart burdened with worries, and only she protects him as he moves forward. In this world, where humans coexist with ghosts, monsters, and strange beasts, demons and spirits run rampant. They support one another and gradually grow stronger. He thinks she is his guardian angel, never realizing that he is the hope of her life. Their bond spans lifetimes, yet it is like the flowers on the banks of the Yellow Springs Road: The blossoms and leaves never meet. They have fate, but no chance of being together.
