The Princess's Little Shadow

She was a carefree little princess, while he was a killer who had crawled out of a slaughterhouse. When the princess impulsively ran away from home, she crossed paths with the assassin after he was ambushed. Thus began their fateful encounter. Hoping to escape his past, he shamelessly clung to her side. She thought having someone else around would make life more interesting, so she let him stay. She worked hard and lived earnestly, hoping to fill her days and pursue her dreams. He hid among the common folk, becoming a street vendor, and loved this ordinary life with all his heart. After spending several years together, they decided they were right for each other and naturally got married. Little did they know that his past would come crashing into their lives around the next bend. That past was dark and sordid, and cracks soon appeared in their relationship. The cracks themselves weren't frightening. What was frightening was that their nations' enmity and personal vendettas were tangled up in it all. They both wanted the other to stay away from the darkness, but in the end, they failed. At last, all he could do was watch her leap from a towering cliff. When he finally realized everything had been orchestrated, he was consumed by grief. With all hope lost, he encountered her past and learned that they might have a chance to continue their love in another life. From then on, he entered the monastery, hoping only to meet her again in his next life! Fortunately, fate granted his wish.
