The Killer Is Also Romantic

Set in Hualing City, the graceful and charming boutique owner Si Xiaonian and the gentle, refined scholar Yan Wuming appear to be a perfectly matched, enviable couple. In truth, however, she is a top female assassin in the martial world, while he is the commander of the Jinwei Division, a covert imperial guard agency—both living under deep cover. From their first meeting through their marriage, they have maintained these dual identities. Yet, bound by deep mutual love, no matter how ruthless or decisive they may be in their missions, they always show the other only tenderness. Now, as the former crown prince—held as a hostage in an enemy kingdom for ten years—prepares to return to the city, Si Xiaonian and Yan Wuming each receive a new mission: one to assassinate the prince, the other to secretly ensure his safe entry into the imperial capital. Forced to give their all to fulfill their respective duties, they begin to suspect that their opponent might just be the person lying beside them. Inevitably, elaborate tests and growing distrust unravel the carefully maintained façade between them. Yet, even standing on opposing sides, they cannot deny the profound love that has always bound them together. To kill or to protect the prince becomes an agonizing dilemma. As they dig deeper, they gradually uncover that this mission may have come from the very same source—and that they have already been drawn into a far greater conspiracy.
