Anime Like Dao Yao Xing
Two people hired to kill each other on their wedding night discover they're both immortal, and the show spends 60 episodes watching them stop pretending to hate each other. The con becomes real somewhere between the assassination attempts and the actual conversations. By the time they're working together instead of against each other, you realize the entire premise was designed so neither of them had to be alone anymore.
SYNOPSIS
Jiang Yuan and Shao Yue have nothing in common except one binding contract. An assassin from Tai Xuan Tower and a holy maiden from Jiu Xuan Sect, they're forced into marriage by their respective organizations for political gain. Their wedding night becomes a test of lethal skills when they attempt to eliminate each other, only to discover neither can die. The revelation shatters their expectations entirely. What follows is an elaborate game of deception. Both seek ancient bells rumored to grant unimaginable power, so they maintain their marriage as a cover while secretly plotting against one another. Every interaction carries hidden agenda. Every moment brims with calculated moves and veiled threats. But something larger looms beyond their sect politics and personal vendetta. An ancient emptiness called the Void destroyed worlds long ago, and both carry fragments of that catastrophe in their blood. Buried memories surface. Trust becomes possible only when survival depends on it. Their charade transforms into something neither anticipated: a genuine partnership forged through shared mystery and mutual awakening.
