An Yulu transmigrated to ancient times and became the young head of an assassin clan. He had no System or golden finger, and was immediately told to assassinate a prince.
An Yulu was struck dumb. Assassinate a prince? Well... I might be a little disabled...
The clan rules said that every mission had to be completed, or the punishment would be a whipping.
An Yulu: ...
Why does everyone else who transmigrates become a crown prince or a prince, with a golden finger to boot, while I get nothing? Am I going to have to restart as soon as I show up?
But then he heard from a servant that the prince was disabled and out of favor, and that there weren't many guards at his residence.
An Yulu found a glimmer of hope: Maybe I won't have to restart after all...

Xiao Yanchen was Prince Rui of the Yan Dynasty. An injury in childhood had left him unable to walk, and the late emperor, feeling guilty, had made him a prince at a young age. But that was when people started mocking him.
Even though he was disabled, he still faced assassination attempts every day. He was long since used to them.
Until one day, an inept assassin arrived at his residence.
The assassin was foolish, but truly beautiful.
Xiao Yanchen was very interested in him, so he pretended not to know what was going on and played along.
One night,
Xiao Yanchen deliberately waited for An Yulu to come and assassinate him.
Moonlight fell on An Yulu. His golden-orange hair blended into the moonlight, and his black clothes made his skin look even fairer, like porcelain. The tears of fear at the corners of his eyes made him all the more endearing.
Xiao Yanchen hooked a finger under An Yulu's chin, looking down at him with a smile. "Become this prince's consort, and I'll spare your life."
An Yulu froze. Consort?
But then he thought that it would be easier to assassinate him if they were together day and night. As long as he could stay alive...
Besides, he couldn't stand a whipping!
So he immediately agreed. "Of course, Your Highness! As long as you don't kill me!"

An Yulu stared in shock at the disabled prince pinning him beneath him. "Wait, weren't you disabled?"
Xiao Yanchen smiled. "Did I ever say I really couldn't walk?"
The next day, An Yulu was urgently summoned back by his clan.
Clan Leader: The client suddenly died at home, so the assassination is over.
An Yulu's eyes lit up. Really?
He finally didn't have to live in fear anymore!
Before he could celebrate, bad news arrived.
Clan Leader: But there's a new client.
An Yulu: ...
That night, they were wrapped around each other on the bed.
An Yulu, eyes red, asked, "Why are you so happy..."
Xiao Yanchen narrowed his phoenix eyes. "It's nothing. Let's continue."
