After the Top Assassin Killed the Wrong Person

【The blurb for my next book, “Intelligence Unknown, Luck Overpowered,” is at the end】 【The illustrations are back up. They should be clearer this time.】 Xie Lin was the greatest assassin in the Great Xia Kingdom. Quick with a blade, cold-hearted, and elusive, he had an impressive record over the past decade and had never once failed. Just as he was about to retire, he received the organization’s most difficult assignment yet: assassinate Yan Wu, ruler of an enemy kingdom. To retire as soon as possible, Xie Lin accepted the job and set out alone. But the intelligence provided by the organization was wrong. A single stroke in the portrait made his target look like Yan Huan, Prince Xuan, who bore a ninety-percent resemblance to Yan Wu. - Yan Huan, Prince Xuan of the An Kingdom, had taken charge of the government while his elder brother, Yan Wu, was gravely ill. Every few days, an assassin from Xia tried to kill him. The assassin poisoned his tea, so he switched the cup with his elder brother’s. The assassin tried to kill him in his sleep, so he casually swapped in his unconscious elder brother to take the blade. After being hunted for a whole month, Yan Huan finally lost patience and decided to teach the assassin a lesson. - Xie Lin suffered the biggest failure of his career as an assassin. He tried everything, yet couldn’t so much as scratch that tyrant. The man drank his poisoned tea and remained unharmed. He even took a fatal stab from Xie Lin, then woke up the next morning without a single mark on his body. Xie Lin stared in shock. The ruler of An was terrifying. The undefeated top assassin pulled out his final trick. He had heard the ruler of An preferred men, so he gritted his teeth, tucked poison between his teeth and a knife up his sleeve, and climbed into the man’s bed. - By a twist of fate, Xie Lin eventually completed his mission and returned to Xia to report in, only for the organization to try to silence him. Yan Huan, Prince Xuan, the bastard who had tricked him into sharing a night of passion and deserved to be hacked to pieces, rode alone for a thousand miles into Xia. Surrounded by enemy forces, he hauled Xie Lin onto his horse and declared, “This man is mine.” A crafty, smiling, scheming prince who’s as cunning as a fox × A top assassin, as endearing as a cow-patterned cat, who needs an exorcist Reading guide: · One-on-one, seme-focused, happy ending.

Blurb for “Intelligence Unknown, Luck Overpowered”: The day Song Qishan graduated from university, he died unexpectedly. When he opened his eyes, he found he had transmigrated to ancient times and become the youngest son of Lord Song, the Minister of Revenue. The boy had been born with a congenital condition known as “loss of the soul.” Even at twenty, he was vacant and childlike, with the intelligence of a three-year-old. He didn’t even recognize his parents and would only call for his elder brother whenever trouble arose. Despite this, everyone in the Song family treasured him. They provided him with fine clothes and food, cared for him attentively, and never scolded him. Song Qishan, who had lost both parents and worked his way through school, teared up with gratitude. Heaven really does have eyes! - Recently, everyone at the Song residence discovered that their young master, who had been in a daze for twenty years, had miraculously recovered on his own. Not only did he behave just like anyone else, he also seemed to bring near-impossible good luck to everyone around him. Lord Song went out to buy his youngest son a sweet pastry and unexpectedly avoided a runaway horse that was injuring people in the street, escaping a bloody disaster. Song Tingyuan, the eldest son of the Song family and an official at the Court of Judicial Review, casually helped his younger brother catch a thief who had stolen his purse. The thief turned out to be a notorious highwayman wanted by the authorities for three years. The entire Song family went on an outing to celebrate the youngest son’s recovery and unexpectedly avoided a fierce political struggle that would have embroiled countless people. - Everyone in the capital said the Song family’s youngest son was a hidden genius who had kept a low profile for twenty years. In truth, he was blessed with immense fortune, surrounded by a purple aura. Anyone who offended him would suffer terrible luck, while anyone who helped him would enjoy great fortune. The capital’s powerful families flocked to the Song residence, nearly breaking down the gates. When they heard Song Qishan liked men, they immediately offered up their pampered young masters. But the eldest Song brother turned them all away. Song Tingyuan, Assistant Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, flipped through the case files and listed them one by one: “A lecher? Not suitable.” “A compulsive gambler? Not suitable.” “Armed assault, multiple victims, still at large… Come with me to the Court of Judicial Review for a chat.” Song Qishan: ovo Song Qishan: It’s great having an older brother. He looks after me and keeps all my terrible suitors away. Song Qishan: …Wait, why are you in my bed, brother? A gentle, extremely protective, scheming seme × a cheerful, lively uke who relies on his older brother Brother-obsessed seme × seme-obsessed uke. They are not related by blood.
