Your Highness the Regent, Your Assassin Is a Bit Dense! Novel

Jiu Yue's resurrection came with strings attached: complete an assigned mission and claim a billion-dollar fortune in the real world. As an assassin, this seemed manageable enough—until a temporal glitch separated her from the system guide, leaving her mission incomplete. Undeterred, she embraced her lethal identity and swiftly rose to become the Regent's foremost assassin in the capital, broadsword sharp and reflexes sharper. When her system finally reconnected, the truth shattered her confidence: she wasn't meant to kill. She was meant to marry into the royal family, specifically to Prince Ping—the corpse now bleeding at her feet.

Regent Sima Qing had maintained his iron grip on power for years until an assassin slipped through his defenses. His determination to capture her burned fierce until she appeared unbidden at his doorstep, innocently offering her skills. He recognized her deception instantly but saw no reason to expose her immediately; instead, he wielded her blade against his enemies while he carefully uncovered her true identity. Six months of partnership transformed into something neither had anticipated.

On their wedding night, Sima Qing pressed the ceremonial wine into her trembling hands with a cryptic smile. "A cup is easier to hold than a sword, my dear." Jiu Yue found herself stripped of words, facing a future as unpredictable as the man who'd orchestrated it—a Regent she'd failed to assassinate and now couldn't escape.
