The World's Top Assassin Wants to Marry Into My Family!

Next up: After Successfully Winning Over the Yandere Commandery Princess. Please add it to your reading list! (Currently drafting.) Blurb below.

Soft on the outside, tough within transmigrated heroine × self-deluding assassin

Shang Miao transmigrates into the daughter of a military general. From the start, she's thrown into a disaster: both her father and the original owner may have been murdered.

Perhaps because she recognizes her own predicament, when she encounters a badly wounded young man on the road, she buys him for one tael of silver.

The young man is strong and exceptionally skilled. He can also make medicine and craft tools, a true all-rounder.

He asks for little in wages but does a lot of work. Shang Miao marvels at what a bargain she's gotten!

To win him over and have him protect her closely, Shang Miao acts like a sweet, naive girl and often praises him with a flutter of her eyelashes.

But she notices that he's getting stranger and stranger. He used to wear only black, but suddenly he puts on the fine clothes she gave him, and he keeps matching outfits with her.

It's not that he can't wear them, but aren't they supposed to be investigating a case???

Looking at his wide sleeves, she asks, "Are you sure this won't get in the way?"

He says nothing, just draws his sword and starts performing a routine in front of her.

Shang Miao: ?

The jianghu assassin Yu Yanzhi is saved by a young woman. He plans to leave once he's repaid her, but she seems to have a grudge against the general in power. If he leaves...

He stays behind with a clear conscience, but as he protects her day in and day out, things spiral further and further out of control...

He can only try to brainwash himself: I'm just a man of the jianghu. I'm not good enough for her.

At the same time, he talks himself into it: She says she wants to take a husband someday, and I'm alone. Could it be that she... that she...

As an assassin with years of experience, he knows his trade: pursue enemies relentlessly, and do the same with the woman you love.

He soon convinces himself, uses every trick he has to seduce her, and finally gets half a successful outcome!

Unfortunately, fate has other plans. An imperial edict arrives from the capital, arranging her marriage! The woman actually has the heart to drug him unconscious and send him away!

Two months later, an ancient aristocratic clan, long since withdrawn from public life, arrives in the capital as a whole family.

Shang Miao is cornered against a wall by a young man wearing a plain white mask.

With no one else around, she grows wary and stammers, "You... what are you trying to do?"

The young man's long lashes tremble slightly. His gaze is stubborn and lingering. "What could I possibly do to Ah Miao..."

Blurb for After Successfully Winning Over the Yandere Commandery Princess

World-weary yandere commandery princess × male lead who starts out pretending but falls for real

A prophecy from the Real Person Dongxu leads to Qing Dai being sent up the mountain to practice austerities while still an infant.

Seventeen years of solitude leave her wrapped in gloom.

Just as she's about to kill herself, a young man opens her door.

To keep her from trying again, he stays by her side at every moment. Even when she bathes, there's only a curtain between them.

Qing Dai hates this person who constantly gets in her way, and even begins to want him dead.

Then, one day, she accidentally ingests the Western Regions' "Spring-Locked Chill," a drug that robs her of her reason, and pounces on the young man.

She orders him to cover his eyes and not look at her, yet can't help losing herself in the moment.

After that, the poison flares up from time to time, and the young man always does everything he can to cure her...

From then on, he does the laundry and cooking by day, and becomes her medicine pot by night.

When she has a high fever, he even carries her over distant mountains in search of a doctor, whispering all the way that she mustn't die.

So that's how much he depends on her? She doesn't think anyone has ever depended on her before.

Until

She finds a letter that says: Prince Changguang holds great power. Use his daughter, Commandery Princess Shou'an, to your advantage.

Oh, so it was all a lie.

What a disobedient boy. She'll have to punish him properly.

On their wedding day, the young man holds her cold corpse, grieving until he vomits blood and sobs himself unconscious.

Does it hurt? She still thinks it isn't a fraction of what she suffered. She wants to see him suffer and go mad.

She wants to see him sleep clutching a memorial tablet, and talk to a withered tree.

The joy and the pain fill her heart to the brim.

Half a year later, the young man finds her.

He's gaunt, his eyes sunken, and his former charm is gone.

"...Qingqing." He kneels before her, his voice stubborn and humble. "Please don't leave me..."

"All right." Qing Dai speaks in a sweetly deranged voice and lifts his chin.

She never planned to leave. In life, he is hers; in death, he'll still be her ghost.

He made a mistake, but that's all right. She can give him some medicine, lock him up, and train him properly.

Xu Zhaowan is ordered to win over Commandery Princess Shou'an, Li Qingdai. The mission goes smoothly: she falls in love with him.

Then she "dies"...

The two things he regrets most in his life are:

1. Deceiving someone.

2. Losing a letter.

Reader's Guide:

1. The heroine has a mental illness and is extremely possessive. She's a yandere.

2. One-on-one romance. Both leads are completely devoted to each other, body and soul, with a strong mutual attraction. The other male characters have one-sided feelings, but there will be a love rivalry later.

3. Happy ending.

4. An alternate Tang dynasty.

Theme: Running toward each other.
