The Killer Is Also Romantic (Nian Nian Wu Ming / 念念无明)

THE KILLER IS ALSO ROMANTIC 'Nian Nian Wu Ming' — A Study in Ignorance

Episode 07

If I recall correctly,

this is the third time you've called me out.

The first time was to complete a mission.

The second time was to say you'd marry.

What is it this time?

Old Grasshopper.

You know my principles.

1. Don't harm civilians.

2. Don't touch the Court.

3. Don't act in evil ways.

No way will I assassinate the Crown Prince.

After marrying, didn't you want to retire?

A hitman can't leave easily.

Don't be hasty. Take a few days to consider it.

If you do this,

I'll wipe your hitman identity.

Not a few days. I'll answer now.

I'll never do this task.

You agreed to undertake the Marquis' task.

This errand isn't usual for Dark Guards.

Since this involves the Prince, you can't be rash.

No matter what happens, make it count.

Aye.

Sis, I made you sweet-scented osmanthus wine.

You made new wine. That's great.

I'll smell it.

Why's it just smell sweet

but not smell of wine?

You're afraid Bro-in-law will smell wine on you.

You don't dare drink.

I specially made you this.

Sis, drink without worry.

Bro-in-law won't smell it.

True or false?!

I'll try it.

How is it?

Truly sweet scented and strong.

Give me more.

But it's concentrated, and very intoxicating.

Sis, don't drink too much.

I never get drunk.

Hubby.

Come here.

Check out my special scent.

A special scent.

Smell it.

Your fragrant powder is sweet osmanthus—

Yesterday it was peony flowers.

Right.

What else?

Else?

Really is a daily quiz.

What else?

You're right.

It's sweet osmanthus.

Nothing else.

Let's sleep.

Why'd the Marquis appoint Dark Guards

to escort First Prince?

Hubby.

Are you asleep?

Forget it.

Don't show her I'm worrying.

Hubby.

Are you asleep?

Good. Fast asleep.

Sweet-scented osmanthus wine is so good.

Xiao-Nian.

Xiao-Nian?

Xiao-Nian.

Hubby.

I'm here.

You—

What's wrong?

I really love you.

I love you so very much.

I know.

I know, I know.

Xiao-Nian.

Xiao-Nian.

What's wrong?

Xiao-Nian, what is it?

You feel unwell?

I'm sorry for my husband.

I lied to him.

What lie?

I lied that I didn't drink.

But I really like it.

I like drinking so much.

I wonder if I prefer wine

or prefer my husband.

It's too hard to choose.
