The Most Beautiful Bodyguard

The innocent and guileless Pan Tianqi lost everything amid the artillery fire in the jungles of northern Myanmar, falling from refugee to a mercenary group's "live target." Armed with nothing but a sharpened piece of iron, she fought for her life. She used jungle traps to kill her pursuers in a counterattack, and tempered herself under a hail of bullets into a tactician who knew how to "achieve much with little." When she refused to massacre civilians, her former companions made her their target.

By chance, she rescued a kidnapped Chinese engineer, and the conviction to "protect her compatriots" took root in her heart. After that, carrying the blood and fire of her years as a mercenary, she moved to Africa and founded "Tianyi Security." She fought pirates off Somalia, took on drug lords in Colombia, and thwarted terrorist attacks in New York, turning her security company into a chess piece and the world into a chessboard.

From escorting oil shipments in Africa and evacuating Chinese citizens from an ancient city in Syria, to safeguarding the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and building security barriers for publicly listed global conglomerates, she led her team through war zones, gangs, and extremist forces, carving out a path to survival. The name "world's most beautiful bodyguard" rang out overseas. Yet in the intervals between clashes of blades, her bond with peacekeeping officer Lu Chengyu, forged across life and death; the struggle between business interests and feelings with business elite Shen Zhiyan; and the clash of reason with state-owned enterprise executive Gu Yanzhou revealed a softness and turmoil hidden beneath her iron resolve.

This is an epic about survival, protection, and growth. With a woman's strength, Pan Tianqi carved out a place for herself in a security world dominated by men. Over twenty years, she turned "Tianyi" into a shield protecting Chinese people around the globe, and placed a legendary piece of her own on the world's chessboard.
