The Prince Dotes on Me? No, There Are Plenty of Whippings Today!

[Historical danmei] [Power couple] [Love and hate] [A seemingly gentle but secretly ruthless prince x an amnesiac, loyal shadow guard] [The prince has to win back his wife]

The dagger that once peeled fruit for him is now stained with blood and pressed against Xiao Yi's throat. The eyes of “A Ying,” who once depended on him completely, have turned as cold as a lone wolf's.

“Your Highness, the first character you taught me to write was ‘loyalty,’ but the first name I remembered was Gu Qingyan.”

He asked softly, each word like a blade: “This deception woven from love... have you enjoyed playing your part?”

Gu Qingyan, the greatest assassin in the martial world, came to kill Prince Rui, Xiao Yi, but was gravely wounded and lost his memory after a desperate battle.

When he woke, the gentle, jade-like Prince Rui told him, “Your name is A Ying. You're my personal guard. You were badly injured saving me.”

A colossal lie, and a carefully plotted act of taming. Xiao Yi moved step by step, personally turning the fiercest wolf into a dog loyal only to him. He taught him to write, tied up his hair, and held him in his arms whenever fragments of memory brought him pain. He relished the thrill of controlling his sworn enemy, yet gradually fell under the spell of the man's pure trust and love.

A lie became a cage.

When the token of the assassins' guild appears once more, and the prison of memory comes crashing down, how will Gu Qingyan view this profound love built on deception? And how will Xiao Yi, who created it all with his own hands, face those cold eyes, now emptied of love?
