The world's number one female assassin, Nan Xi, is dead.
She was killed on her way to the imperial city to complete a mission.
"Who dares to touch me? You're all dead men!"
The first thing Nan Xi thought about when she regained her consciousness was to take revenge on the mastermind.
Wait a moment—-
Wasn’t she supposed to be dead? How could she still wake up?
Then, two voices were heard:
"Mother Zhang, is that little bastard really dead?"
"She just swallowed the poison. I don't know if she is dead yet."
"What a Jiang Nan Xi! Whether she's dead or not, she must marry on behalf of Jia Yue to Lu Han Yuan!"
Who is Jiang Nan Xi? At this moment, memories that didn’t belong to her emerged in Nan Xi's mind.
She was indeed dead, but she was reincarnated into the body of Jiang Nan Xi, a 19-year-old female student who died at the same time.
Jiang Nan Xi's mother passed away when she was 11. Less than a month later, her father, Jiang Yu, moved into the Jiang family with his new wife, Wang Pei, and Jiang Jia Yue, who was three months younger than Jiang Nan Xi.
Afterwards, Jiang Yu embezzled the dowry of Jiang Nan Xi's mother, sent her uncle to jail on the grounds of tax evasion, and confiscated their family property.
For the reason that Jiang Nan Xi's fate was uncertain, her worthless father and stepmother sent her to the countryside to be abused, disfigured, and exploited.
Suddenly, the same voice sounded again:
"Mother Zhang, hurry up and tie up this little bastard!"
Danger approached, and as an assassin, Nan Xi was extremely sensitive.
She abruptly opened her eyes, then sat up, with a surge of internal strength—
"Ah! It's so painful..."
Mother Zhang, who had just been tying up Nan Xi, was knocked to the ground by a strange force!
Dressed in luxurious and magnificent robes, Wang Pei witnessed this scene with utter shock:
"You little bastard, you really were playing dead!"
After speaking, she quickly walked over, prepared to take matters into her own hands.
She, who had managed to effortlessly kill Jiang Nan Xi's mother and become the mistress of the Jiang family, couldn't deal with a wild girl?
Just as Wang Pei's raised hand was about to hit Jiang Nan Xi's face—
In the blink of an eye, Nan Xi dodged to the side.
The next moment, Nan Xi grabbed Wang Pei's outreached arm, and sent it flying towards her face!
With a crisp "slap" sound!
Before Wang Pei had the chance to scream, her right face instantly swelled up.
She was stunned by the slap, and only after a few seconds did she exclaim incredulously:
"You, you little bastard dare to hit me?!"
The one who would not hit back when hit, or retort when cursed, dares to hit her?!
Nan Xi stared at the red wedding dress on her body, feeling annoyed because she was in pain all over, especially her face.
Above her wrists were all bruises from abuse, as for the pain in her face, those were scars from disfiguration.
Ha, she used to be a world-class medical sage, what are these small injuries to her?
There was impatience in Nan Xi's eyes as she said:
"It seems your eyes have aged along with your appearance, haven't they? It was clearly your own hand that hit your face."
"You..." Wang Pei's face turned red with anger.
She had spent tens of millions on her face, and she was being told that she looked old and worn out?
Besides, this little bastard was the ugly one! Her face had been ruined by her own people!
Wang Pei only regretted not having this little bastard poisoned or blinded a few years ago!
However, just as Wang Pei was about to strike again, Nan Xi didn't give her a chance. Sitting on the bed, she kicked out.
"Ah!"
Wang Pei was kicked, and fell straight back. Just as she was about to throw a tantrum...
Suddenly, a man clad in a Zhongshan suit appeared by the door, it was the patriarch of the Jiang family, Jiang Yu.
"What's all the noise? The Lu family's marriage envoy has grown impatient!"
As the words fell, his eyes fell on the person sitting on the bed. His expression brightened, and he said,
"Is Nanxi awake? That's good, whether you're willing or not, you have to be married off to the Lu family!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Wang Pei's face turned pale in a heartbeat. She put on a pitiful act, pleading,
"Husband, I tried advising Nanxi with good intentions, but she was ungrateful! She not only hit me but also kicked me."
Jiang Yu was immediately filled with sympathy.
Nanxi's expression was cold. What a real scumbag father, a marvelous couple of dogs!
She concealed the coldness in her eyes and said innocently,
"She tripped and fell, how is that my fault? Besides, I never said I wouldn’t marry."
Wang Pei wanted to speak, but Jiang Yu stopped her.
Because of Jiang Nanxi's words that she "didn’t say she wouldn’t marry," this was today's main event.
Master Lu was gravely ill and needed to marry for good fortune. Otherwise, given their Jiang family's status in the capital, it would be impossible for them to form an alliance with the Lu family through marriage.
In addition, the Lu family had given a 500 million dowry and several profitable projects!
But Jiang Yu would not let his precious daughter Jiayue marry there. The Lu family stated that as long as it was Miss Jiang, that would be enough, therefore Jiang Nanxi was the most suitable.
A smile broke out on Jiang Yu's face as he coaxed her, saying,
"You're really seeing the light. Master Lu Si is the only heir to the Lu family. Marrying him would mean living a life of luxury."
Luxury? Nan Xi snorted coldly.
The former master might have been easy to fool, but she was not!
In the imperial city, Master Lu Si, whose real name was Lu Yi Xiao, was known for his decisive and ruthless character. He was extremely difficult to get along with.
He kept a group of jackals, tigers and leopards as pets in his residence, the Lu Cold Garden, announcing to all that they were just for him to play with. What an insane man!
Moreover, six months ago, he fell seriously ill. Already a private man, his true face was almost never seen by anyone, and with his illness, even fewer could approach him.
Thus, the Lu family had sent many women to him, all their fates unknown.
Could they expect Nan Xi also to marry into this?
Marry? She wasn't afraid at all.
"I could consider marrying him, but only on one condition."
