Name: The Sickly Beauty in the Prince's Arms Is a Max-Level Assassin
Author: Cotton Candy Machine

Synopsis

Is this frail young man actually a max-level assassin???

In the eyes of the world, Wen Xuqing is:

The illegitimate son of the Prime Minister’s household, who gets out of breath after walking a few steps;

A sickly medicine jar abandoned at a country estate, ignored by everyone;

A fragile little white rabbit that Prince Lin, Gu Jingyu, brought home to keep.

The real Wen Xuqing is:

The master of Shattered Moon Tower, the greatest assassin organization in the martial world;

A blade capable of taking a general’s head from amid a million troops;

A max-level assassin who manipulates the entire capital in the palm of his hand.

Gu Jingyu had lived for twenty-seven years like a cold-blooded killing machine, until he met Wen Xuqing.

He thought Wen Xuqing was a delicate white lotus, a little rabbit in need of protection. So he put on a gentle mask, hoping to shelter him beneath his wings.

Later, he discovered that this white lotus needed no protection at all. He could just as easily stab Gu Jingyu and, while he was at it, raze his hideout to the ground.

[Important Content Warnings]

● Playing weak while hiding strength: The uke is at the peak of martial prowess. He acts frail in everyday life, but can beat the seme to a pulp.

● Dual secret identities: The seme has a secret identity too. The uke has had a crush on him for eight years, while the seme first felt his heart stir for the uke five years ago.

● Prepare for the seme to fall hard: At first, he thinks the uke is a delicate flower and spends every day plotting how to protect (imprison) him. Then he discovers the flower is poisonous and thorny, and can even strike back.

● There are lots of side couples too.
