Synopsis

Gu Ning had been H Country’s top assassin and an undercover agent in his previous life. He thought it would all be over when he died, but instead he became a shadow guard, not yet ten years old and newly purchased by a prince’s estate. He trained hard for twelve years, and his adult mind made it easy for him to learn anything. He soon became one of the four top shadow guards of Prince Qing’s estate, second only to the Head Shadow Guard, and was fortunate enough to receive the name Gu Ning from his master.

He conscientiously did his job as a dedicated, exemplary shadow guard, taking blades, bullets, and firearms for his master. His monthly pay was a single tael of silver. He couldn’t afford pretty women or fine liquor. His favorite food in the world was steamed buns. When Prince Qing saw Gu Ning badly wounded, he went to help him, but Gu Ning subtly evaded him. Prince Qing smiled bitterly. “A beauty as lovely as jade is right before me, yet his heart is hard as iron.”

Watching Gu Ning catch bugs in a tree, Prince Qing said, “So cute.”

The Head Shadow Guard, Gu Feng, heard him and was struck speechless. Your Highness, who are you calling cute?

The maid Yun Niang heard him too, and a fake smile froze on her lips. Gu Ning, my lord, is cute???

Everyone in Prince Qing’s estate knew that, besides Prince Qing himself, who ruled over them all with his unpredictable temper and control over life and death, only Gu Ning could make them tremble at the mere mention of his name. It wasn’t just the people in Prince Qing’s estate, either. Ask anyone in the capital, and they’ll tell you that Gu Ning’s name could scare children into silence at night.

Gu Qingming: “Crown Prince, you’re so wary and afraid of me. How could I, your younger brother, not give you what you want?”

“They all think I’m afraid, terrified of them. I’d like to see who’s really afraid of whom.”

Gu Feng, Yun Niang, and the shadow guards all looked at Gu Ning in unison. Together, they said, “A dragon’s reverse scale is deadly to touch.” Gu Ning: Black man with question marks for eyes???

It's a great read, the plot is tight and clear, and the character designs are absolutely perfect for me. Plus, the author dressed them both in men's wedding attire during their wedding, which is completely different from what I've read before. It doesn't portray A-Ning as a woman, giving him the dignity of a man, which I really appreciate. For that alone, I have to give it five stars. It's just that A-Ning has so many injuries; it breaks my heart.

May Qing Wang and A Ning be forever in love!!! This short story was incredibly captivating; the extreme tension and ambiguity kept me writhing in bed, and then there was even a side couple at the end!!! I'm also looking forward to the author's new book 💕

Honestly, this is my favorite book I read on Tomato. I don't usually like the prince x bodyguard type, but A Ning is so cool and beautiful 🥰, both sweet and sassy! The Prince Qing is so doting and flirtatious 💕, although he's a little bit twisted and possessive, he loves his wife terribly and can't bear to see her hurt. If his wife gets hurt, the Crown Prince is doomed 😠.

Following the plot, it should be a novel leaning towards a serious drama, but the author has simplified the specific plot and strategies, mainly telling the cause, a little bit of the process and the ending. The whole text is light-hearted, humorous and interesting, and the popular memes do not appear abruptly.

It's amazing, absolutely amazing! You'll regret it for a million years if you don't read it (though it's not that bad), but you'll definitely regret it if you don't. Aside from not wanting to write a title, the author's writing is excellent!

I absolutely love it! It's so damn good, and super sweet! I didn't skip a single chapter; I read the whole thing without skipping a single one. For someone who usually skips chapters, that's unbelievable! 😆

I love everything about A Ning, I love Prince Qing's unwavering devotion to love, and I love the Shadow Guards. I'm happy for Qing and Ning's union, happy for the Shadow Guards' attitude towards adults, and happy that this is a good book.

This is a super good ancient time-travel novel with a wonderful plot and many twists and turns, but it all ends well! So the whole story is very sweet! And both characters are great actors; Gu Ning's unexpected charm is incredibly cute! Gu Ning was murdered as a child, sold into a pipe, and tortured to death.

It's so good! I love Qing Wang's undisguised and universally acknowledged favoritism, a favor that outrages both gods and men. It's wonderful!

This is seriously so good! It's hilarious, there are so many laughs, it's been a non-stop laugh riot. I'm laughing so hard I'm going to go bald! It's just too good! I'm going to go secretly enjoy it now.
