Description
After Jiu Yue died, the system told her that completing a mission would allow her to return to the real world with a billion-dollar reward. Grumbling about her assigned identity as an assassin, Jiu Yue suddenly beamed: “Who said this time-traveling trope is old? This is amazing!” However, due to a temporal delay, the system hadn’t fully transmitted with her, leaving the mission details incomplete. But Jiu Yue wasn’t bothered. With her identity as a killer already set, how hard could the mission be? It was just a matter of the target’s rank. With a confident smirk, she grabbed her broadsword and eagerly headed for the capital. … By the time the system reconnected, Jiu Yue had already become the top assassin under the Regent’s command. Wiping her blade clean, she casually asked, “So, is the mission to kill the emperor, the empress dowager, or maybe even the Regent?” The system: “…The mission is to marry into the royal family. Your betrothed is Prince Ping—yes, the corpse at your feet.” Jiu Yue’s hand trembled on the hilt: “…What?” Regent Sima Qing had held absolute power for years, only to have an assassin slip through his defenses. He ordered a manhunt to scour the earth and find her. But before the search even began, the assassin delivered herself to his doorstep. “Recruiting? I kill without blinking,” she said innocently, hugging her sword. Sima Qing: “…Pathetic disguise.” So he played along, waiting for Jiu Yue to slip up while using her blade to eliminate his enemies. Half a year passed, but instead of catching her in a mistake, Sima Qing uncovered her true identity. On their wedding night, facing the woman who looked ready to die for honor, Sima Qing smirked and pressed the ceremonial wine into her hand. “My dear, a cup is easier to hold than a sword.” Jiu Yue: “…”

My Thoughts on Your Highness the Regent, Your Assassin Is a Bit Dense!
Okay, let's dive into "Your Highness the Regent, Your Assassin Is a Bit Dense!" This novel had a premise that definitely piqued my interest: ancient China, arranged marriage, assassins… sign me up! But, as I read on, I found myself experiencing a bit of a rollercoaster ride.
First Impressions
Initially, I was hooked. The idea of a dense assassin and a scheming regent creating a power couple seemed like a recipe for hilarious misunderstandings and eventual romance. The historical setting added a nice layer of intrigue, and I was eager to see how the story would unfold.
What Works Well
The comedy definitely landed for me. I enjoyed the bickering between the main characters and the moments of levity amidst the political intrigue. The "enemies to lovers" trope is a classic for a reason, and when executed well, it can be incredibly satisfying. The promise of a "power couple" dynamic also kept me invested, hoping to see the leads outsmart their adversaries and support each other.
Areas of Concern
However, I have to admit that the plot and character development left something to be desired. The "tragic romance" elements felt forced at times, and some of the scheming seemed more like convoluted plot devices than genuine strategic maneuvering. I found the female characters, particularly the original host, to be rather frustrating. The lack of agency and the portrayal of these women as easily manipulated felt like a missed opportunity to create strong, independent figures. It did not sit well with me.

Final Verdict
Overall, "Your Highness the Regent, Your Assassin Is a Bit Dense!" has moments of genuine entertainment, particularly in its comedic elements and the initial promise of a compelling romance. However, the flawed character development, frustrating plot contrivances, and disappointing portrayal of female characters ultimately hold it back. While the premise is intriguing, the execution falls short of its potential. I'd recommend it with reservations, perhaps for readers who prioritize lighthearted entertainment over deep character development and intricate plotting.
