Ye Rui transmigrated into the body of a huntress living deep in the mountains, with no one for company except her *beloved* system. Unfortunately, the muddleheaded system's mission database malfunctioned during the transmigration. The only task it could remember was: Pick things up. So Ye Rui spent her days roaming the mountains collecting whatever she came across, until one day she stumbled upon a mysterious, noble-looking woman with a broken leg and a heart full of schemes. The moment she brought the woman home, the system suddenly declared the mission complete. In a bamboo cottage hidden among the peaks, two lonely women lived side by side. Though Ye Rui knew her unexpected guest was anything but ordinary, she still found herself falling for someone she never should have desired. One night, she pinned the woman's wrists above her head, her eyes flushed red. "If you keep teasing me, then even if you're that infamous Chancellor Xie the Wolf, I'll..." At the mention of "Xie the Wolf," the woman's eyes lit up, her smile growing even deeper. "You'll what?" Blushing furiously, Ye Rui couldn't finish the sentence. "Coward." --- Eventually, the woman's people came to take her home—and packed Ye Rui up along with her. Only after stepping into the Xie residence did Ye Rui learn the truth. The woman she'd lived with day and night was none other than the fearsome Grand Chancellor everyone in the capital dreaded: Xie Tinglan. Bathed in the glow of candlelight, it was Xie Tinglan who raised Ye Rui's hands above her head this time. "So, I really am Xie the Wolf." Her lips curved into a smile. "Now what are you going to do?" Ye Rui held her breath, too flustered to speak. Just as she finally opened her mouth, Xie Tinglan leaned in and kissed her, melting every word on her lips. "I've been holding back for so long," she murmured softly. "Don't hide from me, little coward."
