Sent to Assassinate the Tyrant, I Have to Soothe Him Every Night

[Two male leads + contrasting charm + evenly matched powerhouses + younger top + fake archenemies + mutual salvation + sweet and satisfying]

As the sharpest blade of the Taixu Alliance, Chi Yuan receives a mission deemed hellishly difficult in the cultivation world: assassinate Wenren Heng, the unhinged Immortal Emperor in the Ninth Heaven.

Chi Yuan takes his Chaoyue Sword and sets off.

Only after arriving does he discover that the tyrant is actually a severe insomniac, kept alive solely by the sound of his mermaid lullaby.

To earn his trust, Chi Yuan grits his teeth, puts down his sword, and picks up a flute. Every day, he dutifully stands by the dragon bed to lull him to sleep.

He thought he was biding his time, but somehow ended up becoming the most formidable bodyguard in the Ninth Heaven.

The old immortal sect tries to assassinate him? The tyrant takes off the assassin’s head with one stroke and reverses the immortal formation to trap and kill the rebels.

An envoy from an enemy nation provokes him? The tyrant unleashes his imperial might, forcing the envoy to confess and beg for mercy on his knees in front of everyone.

Chi Yuan is numb with disbelief. I really came here to assassinate him, not to live off him.

Then one day, he sees the death-curse immortal markings spreading along the tyrant’s neck and learns that Wenren Heng has already given up half his life to nourish Chi Yuan’s bloodline.

Chi Yuan completely loses his mind. He tears off his disguise and uses the imperial restraints to bind Wenren Heng to the bed, the ocean-blue storm in his eyes threatening to swallow him whole.

“Weren’t you planning to die on the imperial throne? On this bed, I have ten thousand ways to make you surrender.”
