Can an Assassin Be a Succubus Too?

Sixteen was an utterly unremarkable assassin in the Wusheng Hall. His usual routine was to eat, sleep, and take assignments.

But after he accepted a mission to protect the Fourth Prince, everything around him went off the rails and hurtled wildly in an increasingly bizarre direction.

His taciturn partner Seventeen, the elusive hall master, a cheerful and passionate young master from a martial arts family, and the sinister, ruthless Third Prince... all of them kept saying they loved him.

Sixteen's routine became rejecting them, running away, and getting caught.

After the Wusheng Hall partnered with the Fourth Prince, Sixteen was assigned to him as a secret guard.

The Fourth Prince was impotent, a secret known only to Heaven, Earth, and himself. But the Third Prince sent a beauty to seduce him, and Sixteen, crouched on a roof beam, watched as she tried everything she could, without managing to get the Fourth Prince even a little aroused.

From then on, Sixteen became a thorn in the Fourth Prince's side.

Until an assassin's hidden arrow came flying. Sixteen stepped in front of the Fourth Prince and cut off the assassin's head with a single stroke. Blood splattered across the half of his face not covered by his mask.

Their eyes met for just a moment.

The Fourth Prince discovered that the part of him that had been unresponsive for eighteen years had moved.

The thorn in his side became the one in his heart.

A bloodstained secret prison.

The Third Prince, now emperor, finally caught Sixteen, who had been on the run. His clothes were torn open. Beneath them, in addition to old scars, his body was densely covered in kiss marks that looked like wounds.

The new emperor flirtatiously brushed aside the hair covering Sixteen's chest. “I'm so curious what the body that haunts Fourth Brother's dreams tastes like.”

The emperor's bedchamber, adorned with gilt and vivid colors.

A young general arrived to report the rebels' whereabouts, but was stopped outside. For the first time, he heard his usually calm and clear-headed master speak in a hoarse voice, murmuring tenderly the name he had once ground out through clenched teeth. Sixteen.

His mission changed from hunting down rebels to searching for the runaway empress.
