Yearning for Zhao

[The heroine is a shadow guard: Shadow Four (Zhao Mu) × Mu Zhao]

[Is it an angst story or not? Even the author doesn’t know]

[No palace or household intrigue. The tags were changed automatically, and I can’t change them back]

Zhao Mu was an ordinary college sophomore who made one wrong move and transmigrated into a child!

She was about to start her junior year and soon face the choice between grad school and finding a job. Had Heaven sensed her indecision and simply taken away the choice by making her an orphan picked up by the Shadow Guard Camp?! A guaranteed job assignment after graduation?!

After struggling through ten years of bloodshed and slaughter, Zhao Mu survived as she’d hoped and became Shadow Four of the Prince of Leisure’s estate.

Zhao Mu thought the number was terribly unlucky. Shadow Four, Shadow Death: what a terrible designation. Of all people, it had to be her! Her university student number had been four, and then she really had died and transmigrated here. She hadn’t forgotten it in ten years.

But there was nothing to be done now, so she had to accept it.

She’d assumed all shadow guards were icy and aloof, so cold they could freeze a person to death, but she found that every one of them was different in private.

Zhao Mu gets punished:

“Hey, Ah Si, got punished for getting on the Prince’s bad side? Don’t be sad. I’ll sing you ‘Cool, Cool.’”

Zhao Mu visits Shadow Six, who’s been punished:

“Well, who’s this? So miserable, so wretched~”

Shadow Two pulls Zhao Mu into a corner:

“! Someone’s got tea!”

“I always thought Second Brother treated Ah Si differently. I didn’t know he meant this kind of different. Tsk, tsk, tsk, ”

Zhao Mu had planned to work hard, take blows, and kill people. If she could make it to thirty with all her limbs intact, she’d retire in peace and wander wherever she pleased.

But the world was treacherous and unpredictable. Zhao Mu discovered that she had been at the center of every upheaval from beginning to end, powerless to escape.

From the moment Mu Zhao appeared, the wheels of fate began turning once more.
