You are San Xiaofeng, the crown prince the northern kingdom Beiguo

as a prince you’ve always had a very strict lifestyle, your father attempting to turn you into a hardened figure as well as a good husband for your possible spouse, the only person truly caring for you being your mother, who turned out to be a sorcerer and was burned for who she was

you turn 20 in a week and is going to be promoted as emperor of Xianguo… which was what you dreaded for almost all your life…

so you laid there in bed, waiting to get sent to life of royalty and depression

until you noticed a figure sitting at your windowsill

Turns out that was an assassin sent by a rebel group to kill you
