For now, this is a no-CP, everyone-loves-the-protagonist story. The protagonist doesn’t fall in love or return anyone’s affections, though some supporting characters have one-sided crushes. Please don’t read if that bothers you! If you bookmarked this before but now think it might be a trigger, remember to remove it from your collection.
All right, I admit it: I’m a sucker for writing an emotionless, universally adored protagonist with top-tier combat skills. (Hiding my face. This one is probably about a cold protagonist who works diligently and single-mindedly, while everyone else gradually shifts from political scheming to romance... After all, I don’t have the ability to write political intrigue yet. xx)
Here’s the current blurb, as of 2024.8.6
Ye Qiwu, a cold-blooded, ruthless assassin.
While carrying out a mission, he is unexpectedly bound to a System and transmigrates into an ancient world, where he must play an ordinary supporting character who has mysteriously disappeared.
After transmigrating, he discovers that he has become a trainee shadow guard. He works hard to complete his training and become a full-fledged shadow guard, only to be told that he is actually a mole for an assassin organization?
Already suspicious of the System’s claim that this role is “ordinary,” he’s now stuck on a one-way ride.
But as they say, a tasker who doesn’t want to be a shadow guard isn’t a good assassin.
Because his abilities and identity are too exceptional, even the organization gives him assignments while he’s undercover. From then on, he starts a painful but happy life of holding down n jobs and collecting n paychecks.
His employers hire him again and again, forcing him into a busy career where one day he’s poisoning one employer and the next he’s kidnapping another.
His employers are all generous, easygoing, and lavish spenders, without an ounce of pretension. They’re the best employers in the business.
If only they didn’t all keep trying to date him.
Get a grip, everyone! An assassin sells his skills, not his body! Got it?
