Invincible Emperor's Husband: The Salted Fish Prince Stops Pretending

The Transmigration and the Decision to Lie Flat

Xiao Tian, recognized as the strongest assassin on Water Blue Star, successfully transmigrates into the Great Yan Empire. He assumes the identity of a prince who is the husband of the Empress. Unlike his previous life of constant danger, Xiao Tian makes a firm decision to 'lie flat' (tang ping). He intends to enjoy a peaceful, low-profile retirement, relying on the Empress's status to eat a 'soft rice' lifestyle without exerting himself.

The Unavoidable Exposure of Power

Despite his desire for a quiet life, circumstances constantly force Xiao Tian to reveal his abilities. The narrative highlights his 'off-dropping' moments where he effortlessly dismantles forbidden zones and alters the landscape with a single punch. These displays of god-like strength shock the heavens and establish his reputation as a hidden master, creating a stark contrast to his self-proclaimed lazy persona.

The Yama Persona and the Empress's Protection

Xiao Tian adopts the马甲 (alias) of 'Yama,' a title that strikes fear and awe across the realms. While he tries to remain in the shadows, the cold and arrogant Empress takes a dominant role in his life, aggressively protecting her husband from external threats. This creates a dynamic where the Empress acts as his shield, inadvertently drawing more attention to his hidden identity.

The Demon King's Intrusion and the Final Dilemma

The timeline culminates in a complex interpersonal conflict involving the Demon King, who offers heavy rewards to woo Xiao Tian. This adds a layer of tension to the story, as Xiao Tian finds himself caught between the Empress's protective embrace and the Demon King's persistent advances. The protagonist is left with a humorous dilemma: he simply wants to eat his soft rice in peace, but his invincibility forces him into the spotlight.
