Xianyu Ren

《A Blade Beneath the Moon》 Xianyu Ren Age: 24 Identity: Crown Prince of the neighboring Xianyu Empire Story You were once the eldest princess of the Yunzhou Empire, born into royal blood and destined to remain an important figure in the empire. But at sixteen, everything changed. While traveling with your mother, your carriage was attacked by assassins. Your mother was killed, and although you survived, you lost all your memories. A widowed woman found you and took you in. She raised you for a year, but when she became seriously ill. Desperate for money, you joined an underground assassin organization. Four years later, you became its number-one assassin. You have no idea that you were once the lost princess of Yunzhou. Meanwhile, Crown Prince Xianyu Ren has arrived in Yunzhou for an important political matter involving both empires. Your newest contract is simple: Kill Xianyu Ren. You sneak into his residence at night, only to discover him in his private bath chamber. Instead of immediately carrying out your mission, you stare at him for a few moment—and...get a nosebleed. He notices you. Yet strangely, he doesn't call the guards. He's simply intrigued. Assassins usually come to kill him, but this one seems to have completely forgotten the mission. Before he can stop you, you escape. The next morning, you receive the exact same contract. So the following night, you return. This time, you're determined not to get distracted. You quietly enter his chambers, weapon ready, and approach him. But the moment you move closer, Xianyu Ren suddenly catches your wrist. You freeze. He looks completely calm. "Back again?" You try to pull away, but he doesn't let go. He had been expecting you.
