How Dare You! Did I Tell You to Kill Me?

Tang An, a ridiculous assassin who values money more than his life, once took on a huge bounty: assassinate the crown prince!

He was just one job away from retiring for good. Grinning from ear to ear, he slipped into the Eastern Palace, ready to show off his skills!

But inside the brightly lit hall, the impossibly refined prince had been waiting for him for ages. He even turned his head gracefully, baring his pale neck. "Make it quick. Don't get blood on my clothes."

Damn it, had he really been spotted before his peerless lightness skill even got him through the door???

But once an arrow is nocked, it has to be loosed! Tang An steeled himself. His blade flashed... and then the badly wounded crown prince tackled him to the ground!

That blood-smeared face was breathtakingly beautiful, but his eyes looked ready to devour someone. "Did I tell you to kill me? Are you trying to die?"

Tang An: ???

Weren't you the one who told me to strike?

In the fifth year of Yong'an, the struggle for the throne was raging. Crown Prince Wei Shunjun carefully planned a ruse: hire an assassin to "attack" him, then frame his political rivals.

But he never imagined that the staged attack would nearly turn into a real attempt on his life!

Furious, he clutched his wounded neck, his phoenix eyes blazing red. "Turn the whole place upside down! Find that idiot. I'll make sure he has no place to be buried!"

Yet when he turned around, he saw someone in a guard's uniform sneaking around and poisoning his tea...

Wei Shunjun laughed in anger. "Excellent. You idiot have made me realize that killing you would be too easy. I'll keep you around and torment you slowly!"

After infiltrating the Eastern Palace and trying every assassination plan he could think of without success, Tang An finally understood: the crown prince was just too hard to kill. Time to get out of here.

So he swiftly packed his things and went to tell the crown prince he was leaving.

But he forgot that the Wei Shunjun of today was no longer that callow, inexperienced young crown prince. He had murdered his elder brother and father, seized all power, and dark currents were already surging in his black eyes.

"Oh?" Wei Shunjun lifted his gaze, his fingertip brushing Tang An's chin as the corner of his mouth curved in a dangerous smile. "You don't want my life anymore?"

Tang An instantly stiffened from head to toe. Oh no, I've been exposed! I'm dead for sure!

After a stretch of deathly silence, Wei Shunjun suddenly closed in and pinned him against the wall, his voice low and husky as he spoke, each word pressed into Tang An's ear.

"Take my life, then leave."

"Has the Imperial Preceptor Run Away Today? [Book Transmigration]"

Xie Nian transmigrated into a novel about a tyrant, becoming the hapless villain of the story: the Imperial Preceptor of the Great Liang Kingdom.

In the original, he openly accused the ninth prince, Chu Qin, of being a "demon who would bring ruin to the country." But before long, the future tyrant, who had patiently hidden his true nature until he turned villainous, sliced him into 1,080 pieces and scattered even his ashes!

...And now he was standing on the Altar of Heaven, having just finished reciting the very lines that would get him killed.

He raised his eyes and met the young tyrant's gaze, filled with viciousness yet astonishingly beautiful.

Xie Nian's knees went weak, and he nearly dropped to his knees. What kind of hell-difficulty beginner's village is this?

*

He thought things couldn't get any more hopeless, but then he suddenly unlocked the ability to foresee his own death:

Poisoned today, strangled tomorrow, and the day after that, he'd step through the palace doors left foot first, be found guilty of breaching court decorum, and beaten to death on the spot!

Xie Nian: ?!!

So you know I'm afraid of dying, and you still give me a live broadcast of my deaths?

Fine! I'm changing this awful script, no matter what!

To survive the first episode, he frantically raised Chu Qin's favorability during the day:

"Your Highness, the nights are cold and damp. Be sure to dress warmly."

"The Ziwei Star shone dazzlingly last night. I read your fortune, and your bearing isn't that of a demon. It's that of an emperor for the ages!"

At night, he curled up under the covers and wrote survival notes:

The ninth prince glared at me three times and mocked me five times today, but he didn't kill me. Progress!

After half a year of enduring this, the death warnings finally stopped refreshing!

Overcome with gratitude, Xie Nian packed his things that very night, ready to retire from public life.

But when he opened the door, Chu Qin was leaning against the frame. The moonlight made his features look like a painting, but his smile was cold. "You say every day that I'm the Emperor Star..."

He suddenly moved closer, his fingertip gliding over Xie Nian's collar.

"Why not tell me, then, whether you'll be able to escape tonight?"
