Lovers become enemies. After faking his death, the male lead returns under a secret identity, in a faux forced-capture romance

[Cold-blooded Female Assassin x Bewitching King of the Underworld]
Wei Songyu once had a lover.
The Sixth Prince of the current dynasty was noble and radiant, gentle and dignified. Only with him did she feel she could escape the shackles of being an assassin.
But he died.
Wei Songyu would avenge him.

The man commands the Qianjin Guards, known as the Qianjin Envoys. He is the current emperor's lackey and Wei Songyu's greatest enemy.
He wears a ghost mask with silver-painted fangs year-round, like a fearsome Asura god of slaughter, holding the lives of all beneath heaven in his hands.
High officials, nobles, and great families all wag their tails and beg for mercy at his feet.
Everyone in the realm wants him dead, and everyone fears him.
What's more, the wretch is not only arrogant and domineering.
Whenever he meets her, he mocks and shamelessly teases her at every turn.

That night, the Qianjin Envoy climbed in through the window while Wei Songyu was sharpening her sword.
He came up behind her and gathered her slender figure in his arms, pressing his cold ghost mask against her ear.
Suppressing a momentary shiver, Wei Songyu said coldly, "I'll give you a quarter of an hour to run. If I catch up, I'll kill you."
"Hm?" he drawled. "Widows are so full of resentment. You just finished sneaking around with your lover, and this is how you treat him?"
Back from the dead with a new identity, he has no choice but to play the arrogant, wicked villain.
How can it be stealing if you're stealing your own lover? It's clearly a refined pleasure.
