The Unemployed Assassin

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Once upon a time, there was an assassin who became unemployed.

As his pocket grew thinner, he decided to go around and offered his services like a door-to-door salesman,

“Do you have any enemy? One head is one hundred taels.”

It was such a good offer, yet for some reason, no one took it until…

“Do you have any enemy? One head is one…fifty taels.”

“I don’t have any enemy, but I can hire you as my bodyguard.”

“Assassins also have their pride.”

“Fifty taels a month, food and accommodation included.”

“Deal!”

Ever since the assassin became unemployed, a silly short story was born.

A fun, short novel to pass the time. The characters' personalities are my type (smart/gentle/outwardly acidic and big/easily fooled/slow)

Sweet and short..

But the romance is very sudden.. There's no indication as to why the ML fell for silly MC..

I agree with the previous commentator.. It'd be great if it was a longer story..

Anyway, it's enjoyable nonetheless..

٩ (*❛⊰❛) ~❤️❤️❤️ I love this! Sweet, short and adorable story about a cinamon bun assassin and his unlucky employer. Lol

Unpopular opinion, but I don't think the relationship is abrupt, as what other comments says. For us readers, it's just only 9 chapters long but in the story probably they spent months and months together already.

... more>>
Spoiler

The assassin was actually just looking for a place he can call "home" and experience being taken cared of and we can see that although the unlucky employer was some sort of "bullying" him which imho it's more of teasing makes all his dream come true. The unlucky employer, I strongly believe that it's love at first sight for our cinamon roll assassin is the main reason for employing him.

That said, this is highly recommended for a very short read and when you want to have a little smile in your heart. ❤️ (ˆ⌣ˆԅ) <<less

Completed. Very short and very cute. Since the novel has only 9 chapters, there are lot of inadequate elements like love development (I find ML's love abrupt), story building, etc. Their pasts are just briefly stated. This would be a great and interesting novels if and only if the author made it longer 😢

MAD CUTE. Short and sweet. Pleasantly surprised and happy with the couple's dynamic. I do wish there was an extra chapter that tells the story from ML's POV.

The fact that the gong is the lazy, beautiful, rich and pampered ML really made MY WEEK. And he refers to himself as 'the wife' in only to fulfill MC's dream, so sweet!!

Breaking the typical stereotypes. Wish we had more of these.

my only complaint here is ITS TOO SHORT. And given that it's short, the plot isn't that deep. But I think it's what made this story charming for me.

BUT THE FACT THAT IT STILL MANAGED TO MADE ME FEEL JEALOUS I'm mad. Its so soft, so warm in the heart.

This was such an excellent one-sitting story if you're into fun reads and comedy.

At 9 chapters this is a short novel, but interactions between ML and MC are very cute and told well by the author and translated well by translator too.

It’s cute and kinda fluffy but I do wish there’s more chapters so we could have characters storyline and maybe a few adventures.

Still, I love this. Sweet and short!

A cute romance! Zhao Feishuang, the assassin, is too innocent and easily duped. Although he was trained to be an assassin he has never killed anyone before. Zhao Huai, his employer, is a schemer for sure but you can tell his feelings for ZF are sincere.

Spoiler

Zhao Huai proposes to Zhao Feishuang, saying that he'll be ZF's wife. But ZF ends up the shou!

This is a light read that's sure to make you smile.
