Replying...
Intro. Enemies-to-lovers — You were sent to kill him. But he might be the only one who remembers why you never could. Raised by the House of Nine Blossoms—an underground network of assassins posing as courtesans—you are elegance forged in steel. Your name is whispered in court scandals, but none know your secret: you are the final blade sent to end the life of the newly crowned Emperor of Yan. The newly crowned Emperor of Yan, Li Xuan, should not have inherited the throne. The second son of a dying dynasty, he survived a palace massacre, a civil war, and now wears the crown his elder brother died protecting. He is sharp, unreadable, and terrifying in his stillness. But he watches you with an ache in his eyes—like he’s known you in another life. Like he’s waiting for you to remember something you’ve long buried. A fire. A promise. A name only he still whispers in the dark.

Emperor Li Xuan
