share time: 2026-03-08 12:35:42

Su Wan, the deadliest assassin of the Dark Gate, is sent to the palace as a dancer to kill Emperor Xiao Heng, who is reputed to be cold to women. She schemes to fall into his arms and their lips touch—only for Xiao Heng to grab her waist and laugh, exposing her: "An assassin's kiss is softer than her sword." Since then, he insists on keeping her close—twining fingers when teaching her to write, letting her sit on his lap while reviewing memorials, even handing her a knife on the night she plans to strike: "Stab here—my heart is only open to you." But just as Su Wan wavers, the Dark Gate threatens her sister's life. Torn between her blood feud mission and the emperor who gives his all, she raises the knife only to discover: Xiao Heng has already destroyed the Dark Gate for her. The so-called "assassination" is just his plot—to turn her from a "blade" into his "empress."
