[MAX combat prowess, doting older seme prince x beautiful, laid-back uke who slacks off and gives up]

After college student Xie Jing'an accidentally died and transmigrated, he became an obscure little shadow guard in the Great Jing Dynasty.

Before he could feel happy about being reborn, he discovered that his true identity was a spy planted beside Crown Prince Xiao Sheng by Prince Heng. His mission was to wait for an opportunity to assassinate the crown prince and help his master seize the throne!

Modern-day college student Xie Jing'an, a delicate flower: ?

Assassinate the crown prince? Me...? o_O?

Understood! This subordinate will absolutely not do it!

*

Crown Prince Xiao Sheng was not only renowned for his many military victories and prestige, but also tall, muscular, and powerfully built.

Xie Jing'an sucked in a sharp breath and decided to give up completely and coast through his duties.

In his first month as a spy, Prince Heng sent someone to poison the crown prince. Xie Jing'an deliberately delivered the wrong thing, then pretended to be pitiful and begged the crown prince for forgiveness.

In his second month, Prince Heng ordered him to assassinate the crown prince. Xie Jing'an dozed off on a roof beam and accidentally fell right in front of him.

In his third month, Prince Heng ordered him to pursue the crown prince. Xie Jing'an simply played dead and fell into the crown prince's arms.

The fourth month, the fifth month...

By the time his life as a spy was nearly over, the crown prince and Prince Heng had both gathered their forces. Xie Jing'an decisively pretended to be injured and gave up resisting, accidentally revealing Prince Heng's deployment plans!

That night, the emperor died. Crown Prince Xiao Sheng crushed Prince Heng's rebel faction and ascended the throne.

*

The new emperor issued an edict, passionately inviting Xie Jing'an to take on the important role of Commander of the Imperial Guard and work alongside him, 996-style, for an era of peace and prosperity!

Before even a stick of incense had burned, the eunuch sent to deliver the edict came running back, drenched in sweat. "Something's wrong, Your Majesty! Lord Xie says he's too gravely injured to accept, so... He says to thank Your Majesty for your kindness, but this subordinate will absolutely not do it!"

Xiao Sheng: ?

Xiao Sheng ground his teeth. "Bring him back! If he won't be Commander, then he'll be Empress. If I want him to do it, he has to do it!"

Theme: Wait...
