Your Highness, Your Assassin Has Fallen for You

She is the sharpest blade in the dark of night; he is the power behind the throne, shining like a beacon. An assassination attempt sends her tumbling into a web he wove with his own hands: both a cage and a salvation.

Ling Ye, a top assassin codenamed “Night Owl,” is cold-blooded and precise, and has never failed a mission. Until one assignment leaves her dying in a rainy alley, where she sees the one person she should never have encountered in her life: Prince Rui, Xiao Chen. Like a flash of moonlight, he pulls her back from the edge of hell, only to draw her into a more dangerous game.

To survive, she disguises herself as an orphan and goes undercover by his side, only to lose herself in his unfathomable eyes. As her secret love turns to obsession, she has no idea he already knows her secret. Does he keep her close out of compassion, to use her, or as part of a calculated scheme?

“Who are you, really?” He tests her as he plays the qin.

“I am willing to be the blade in Your Highness’s hand.” She kneels in submission.

“Ling Ye.” He takes her bloodstained hand. “I have never wanted a mere weapon.”

He thinks he controls the game, never realizing he has already fallen; she thinks there is nowhere left to run, only for him to pull her into his arms.

Watch as shadow chases the moon, and the bright moon illuminates the heart of the night.
