When I was delivered to Miss Jiang Chengbi's room wrapped in a brocade quilt, she almost dropped her jaw in surprise.

Her tender white face turned bright red, she lowered her head to listen to the servant relay the instructions of the city lord's wife, then dismissed the crowd and walked to my side.

Jiang Chengbi half-covered her eyes, watching as her maid Aruo handed me a set of guard's uniform.

Her gaze was intense, my hands and feet went weak, and it took me a long time to clumsily put on the clothes.

Jiang Chengbi reached out to straighten my crooked collar, tilting her head curiously, "You're so clumsy, can't even dress properly, how could my mother like you?"

She lifted my chin with her finger, scrutinized for a moment, then muttered to herself, "It must be because you're handsome enough."

Aruo quickly pushed me, blushing, and whispered to her ear to explain the instructions of the family's mistress.

Jiang Chengbi's eyes widened, her small hand covering her mouth tightly, "Ah? He's my husband?"

Yes, with my exceptional looks, the city lord's wife chose me and picked me to be the son-in-law of Miss Jiang Chengbi.

The Jiang family's unique martial arts skills dominate the martial world, and they also hold ownership of several mines, making them incredibly wealthy and powerful, self-sufficient for decades, establishing their own city.

The current head of the Jiang family is ambitious, with a somewhat dictatorial presence in the martial world, even using force to deal with many sects that had grievances against the Jiang family.

There are many complaints in the martial world about this, some even feel that the Jiang family is on the verge of becoming an "emperor" in the wilderness.

Several years ago, many dissatisfied individuals in the martial world secretly gathered, forming an organization called "Xun Feng," planning to eliminate the dominant Jiang family.

And I, through rigorous training, was secretly sent by Xun Feng into the Jiang family as one of their assassins.

However, I do not know my name, I do not remember my past, in terms of identity, I am truly a blank slate, allowing those who sent me into the Jiang family to arrange as they wish.

Among Xun Feng, assassins go through rigorous training and selection, even divided into different ranks.

And I am the lowest-ranked assassin.

I bear a heavy mission, my fate is not my own, my body carries the unique poison of the organization, only by completing the mission can I obtain the antidote.

But I am taciturn, dull, and uncommunicative, having been in the Jiang family for a long time, still only serving as a menial guard in the outer courtyard.

A few days ago, finally seizing the opportunity while accompanying the steward on a purchase, I met with the organization's contact, only to be informed that I was the last remaining assassin infiltrated into the Jiang family.

The contact from Xun Feng instructed me to patiently wait for the right moment, to strike decisively when the time is ripe.

He repeatedly warned me not to act rashly, and to wait for the next batch of assassins to infiltrate the Jiang family.

It's truly a twist of fate, the one with high hopes placed upon them is gone, while I, a mere placeholder, have survived until the end.

What a tragedy!
