‘Holy Moley!’ Mao An stared wide-eyed at the huge boar. It was the first ti she felt that saving people truly paid off. ‘Has luck finally found ?’ She might win this year’s competition, ah! She watched how Edan tied the wild boar to her horse and helped her to get back to the camp.
If it were the past, the selfless Mao An would be too busy catering to Zeku general’s severe injuries, catching unnecessary attention, and causing worry to people who were searching for her days and nights.
The assassins were sent by none other than Zhao Rong, who had to go through great lengths to get rid of Wang Guo, only for his plans to be destroyed by a pampered Princess with suspicious dical skills?! When he got to know that Wang Guo was about to ask for a hand in marriage, he decided to seize Mao An first.
‘Now that a rcenary group saved Wang Guo, what would he and Zhao Rong do?’
‘Would they still be interested in Mao An?’
‘If Wang Guo wants to marry Mao An, so he could repay his life dept, she better off without him.’
?Mr. Jelly:? It’s rare for you to save sobody without any ulterior motives.
?Nooo way... Who do you have for? I’m a good girl! To tell a truth... I greatly respect Mao An as a doctor. She’s too pitiful. You have no idea how many lives she saved in the past. I think she deserves a better fate.?

After informing the king, Ru Quan accepted a paynt to hide general Wang Guo’s injured state, also to protect him from the next assassinations attempts.
With these fast actions, Wang Guo should have been out of danger. So why was his condition getting worse? Were all these dical experts surrounding him not enough? Did he really need the female lead’s help? As if the world wanted them to get together, Mao An received a mission from his Majesty to get on a good side with the Black Sky’s leader.
Ru Quan surveyed the bandaged man on the bed, whose condition instantly stabilized as soon as Mao An got closer to him, ‘What the fuck...’

[New mission: Prevent Cian Le from ruining her life. 250p]
The sunlight shone through the beige curtains. Like sweet honey, it ford a warm hue in Bing Shi’s office, which contained comfortable armchairs at the corner of the room.
Bing Shi poured a cup of tea with calming properties to herself, and the man sitting next to her.
“Are you playing hard to get?” Cheng Young asked what had been on his mind for a while. After all, he had been chasing her for almost a year! And there was no sign of her being moved! Rembering all the public rejections, he picked up the tea, and poured it all down his throat, scalding his tongue in the process, he started to cough. “-!!!”
“Of course not. As sir could’ve noticed, I’ve always been hard to get. There was no need to play it.” Blowing the steam away, Bing Shi took a little sip. The aroma of the fragrant tea loosened up her insides. Keeping his mood in check was ntally tiring.
Inside her mind, there was a great dispute going on. How she wished to shout at his face to get lost, to stop bothering her, to never look back at her, to tell him how his face and money was all he got besides that self-centered, butthole attitude. But she couldn’t steal the heroine’s spotlight with snarly cobacks, could she?
Bing Shi handled him a napkin and poured him a new cup of tea, “Sir, why do I feel like you’re forcing yourself to like ?”
“I’m not...” Cheng Young looked down at his reflection inside the cup. He didn’t know there would be a day where he would speak about his childhood fantasy.
Since young, he would always compare the unconditional love between his grandma and grandfather to the dreadful relationships between his father and his father’s harem.
As soon as Cheng Young was born, he was viewed as a tool for his concubine mother to gain the upper hand; while a target to get rid of, by others. Only his late grandparents and father loved him dearly. After his grandparents died, his father took the Emperor’s role while the spot of an Empress was left out unscathed.
There was an image in Cheng Young’s mind that as long as he found soone from the outside world or tiline, he would be happy like his grandfather. So as soon as Mao An brought him unhappiness, he would take all his dissatisfactions on her, using force and abuse. In his eyes, it was sothing that was not supposed to happen; they should always be happy, like his grandparents. His target now switched to Bing Shi.
“So... in search of sir’s childhood dream, you ran away from your marriage?” asked Bing Shi without sounding judgntal, she didn’t want him to go full berserk mode.
“It’s only a political marriage to strengthen my mother’s standing in the harem,” answered Cheng Young with a scowl, “Do you have one too?”
“A dream? I do... don’t.” Switching the focus back to him, Bing Shi continued to listen to his story, comparing him to the Cheng Young in the past. “What about your relationship with miss Cian Le?”
—- Author’s note —–
Have you ever wondered why I stopped ntioning the r.a.p.e accident, or how I never went into full details about Bing Shi’s psychical condition? Just like so victims in real life, be it a man or woman, it’s not sothing to brag about, they keep the sha and terror on the inside while thriving to live their life as if nothing changed.

Doing so research, I was inspired by the Black Flags army – a Chinese bandit turn rcenary group that helped Vietnam against the invading French forces. Their leader obtained a military rank too. (This group consisted mainly of Chinese, Aricans, and Europeans.) Ro regularly employed rcenaries too. ?? That’s how wars were fought in the European Middle Ages, similarly, by hiring rcenaries.
