The Ace Assassin: The Crown Prince Keeps Trying to Win Me Over

[A fiercely capable hero and heroine] [Two strong leads caught in a push and pull]

This book is also known as The Aloof Crown Prince Falls for a Multifaceted Spy and Imprisoned in the Eastern Palace.

Luoyue takes the place of a noblewoman and assumes the identity of Gu Yaoning to infiltrate the Eastern Palace as a spy.

To keep the Crown Prince in check and protect her loved ones at home, she pretends to be agreeable and moves carefully, winning Xiao Heng’s complete trust. Her only goal is to help Prince Qi claim the throne.

But when evidence of Prince Qi’s treason comes to light, she is ordered to take a dangerous gamble and switch the account books. Only after risking her life alone and being gravely wounded does she finally see the truth.

She has always been no more than an expendable pawn to Prince Qi, a piece he can sacrifice at any moment. He never cared whether she lived or died.

All her sincerity and sacrifice have become one enormous joke.

She hides the account books and prepares a fallback plan.

But when Prince Qi raises an army in rebellion and threatens her family’s lives, she brings the account books to Xiao Heng and makes a deal, staking herself in the game.

The warmth they shared day and night was all an illusion. She never saw through the depths of this aloof Crown Prince’s schemes.

He has seen through every calculation, disguise, and act of espionage.

“A Ning, did you really think I knew nothing about your disguise?”

“From the day you entered my Eastern Palace, you became mine for life.”

“I won’t let you die, and I won’t let you leave!”

When she opens her eyes again, her meridians are weak, her inner strength sealed. Looking at the golden shackles around her ankle, Gu Yaoning clenches her fist.

Xiao Heng must have gone mad.
