[Two Male Leads + Soul Swap + Only Each Other + A Touch of Sweetness]
Gongshang Zhenli, the top assassin of the Invincible Valley in the Dragon Azure Kingdom, infiltrates the Martial Master Kingdom to assassinate the emperor and the prince, hoping to save the people of his country from hardship.
But on the night he enters the palace, he ends up in the bedchamber of the Third Prince, Lu Li. Just as the royal nobles gather for the Mid-Autumn sacrificial ceremony, the two switch souls.
Lu Li is a prince born to a woman of low status. With no influential family to support him, he is framed and left with a limp, a fallen prince whose talents have nowhere to shine.
To make the sacrificial ceremony possible and return to their own bodies, Gongshang Zhenli becomes the fallen prince’s backer and helps Lu Li seize power.
“Are you sure? If we fail, things could get much worse than a limp.”
Lu Li pauses. “You could die.”
“What’s the difference between dying and living like this?”
The red mark in the book stands out vividly, its cinnabar hue reflected in Lu Li’s eyes.
“From today on, I’ll have your back.” His steady voice puts Lu Li at ease.
The walls Lu Li has built around his heart are quietly chipped away by Gongshang Zhenli. A faint light slips through, and nothing can stop it from pouring in.
Dressed in plain white, he stands tall and straight.
He tries to move his legs. They are still weak, but he can just about stand.
The sudden progress brings a complicated look to his face, surprise mingling with delight.
Then he smiles softly and murmurs,
“Gongshang Zhenli, you really do know how to surprise me.”
