Astral Flower
“Your past built the present you, but it shouldn’t be a shackle for your future.” A peerless assassin, codename Hua, received her last big mission after nearly died in an avalanche. Everyone knew that the Nan Family had a long missing daughter who only recently returned. She was raised in the village and didn’t have common sense of the nobility daughter, inviting mockery all over the Green Planet. Hearing various jokes about this daughter, they only shook their head and feel that she was not worthy of the Nan Family. However… Those who bullied her were bullied back by others suddenly. Those who wanted to hurt her suddenly got oppressed. Those who tried to harm her fell unlucky and got hurt instead. Nan Hua watched this all with an innocent look. They didn’t know that the one who put them in this predicament is precisely the unsightly young miss they looked down upon. Everything was doing well, but why did her supposed indifferent fiancé paid so much attention to her? Shouldn’t he just focus on the examination and his career in the military? A while later, Nan Hua saw Long Qian Xing staring at her gently and smiled back. ... Story set in fictional world with some advanced technology.

The Person Watching
The moment when the man raised his head to look at them, Long Qian Xing was looking straight in his eyes.
Eyes are the window of the soul.
Even if he had been trained ever since he was young to conceal whatever he was thinking. At the very last moment, he chose not to follow the order and training that had been embedded deep into his bones.
He revealed his true feelings.
Sadness, despair, and relief.
For the people in the organization who could only follow the order if they wanted to live, death might be a relief. Because it meant that they were finally free.
Their body and mind kept on working hard, trying to live as much as possible. For what? For the future they didn't even know they could have, for themselves, for many other things that they might not dare to imagine. But at the end of the day, many of them could never achieve it.
Is it worth it?
