FATED SHADOWS: THE ASSASSIN AND HER IMMORTAL PURSUER

Yun Xue, a cold and flawless assassin, had never failed a mission in her life. Raised by a shadowy organization, she believed in their cause—until the day she learned it was all a lie. Betrayed and angry, she set out to destroy them. But just as she was about to strike, something strange happened.



She woke up in the body of a girl with the same name, Yun Xue, a lowly maid in ancient China, serving the female lead of a wuxia novel she once read. Worse, this maid was destined to die as a mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined not to meet that fate, Yun Xue quickly used her skills to survive, blending into palace life. But nothing went as it should.



Instead of the male lead falling in love with the heroine, he started chasing after her—the maid! To make matters even more complicated, the male lead is Li Wei, the crown prince of dragons, an immortal being with immense power. Yun Xue couldn’t understand why things were going off the rails.



Surprisingly, her expertise in medicine, poison crafting, and weapon smithing, skills from her past life, became invaluable in this new world. To her astonishment, she also discovered that she could tame spiritual beasts, a rare skill that matched her newfound abilities. As a result, she started making a name for herself, despite her supposed status as cannon fodder.

**Scene:**



Yun Xue darted through the courtyard, trying to avoid another run-in with Li Wei, the crown prince of dragons. She couldn’t figure out why he was suddenly so interested in her. *I’m just the maid. He’s supposed to be after Miss Qin!*



Just as she was about to slip away, Li Wei appeared in front of her, blocking her path. "Why do you keep running, Yun Xue?" His voice was smooth, his eyes focused only on her.



She stared at him, frustrated and confused. "You’re supposed to be chasing Miss Qin. What are you doing here?"



Li Wei chuckled, stepping closer. "Why would I chase her when you're the one I want?"



Yun Xue blinked, feeling a mix of confusion and panic. *This isn’t how the story is supposed to go!*

Now stuck in a twisted version of a story she thought she knew, Yun Xue has to figure out how to avoid becoming a victim while navigating her unexpected role as the Dragon Prince’s wife. All she wanted was to survive, but fate seems to have other plans.
