The City’s Super Bodyguard

The city’s dark side hides people with supernatural abilities, while ordinary people remain completely unaware. The world seems normal on the surface, but the “Hidden Society” has secretly divided it into spheres of influence. Those with abilities are ranked at every level: the powerful can turn the tide of events, while the weak struggle to survive. These abilities stem from the awakening of ancient bloodlines. Every hundred years, a great wave arrives, new talents emerge, and old powers change hands. Technology flourishes in the present age, yet ancient families still control the core resources. In public, they are tycoons from elite families; behind the scenes, they rely on their supernatural abilities to maintain their status. The heroine, Cen Shuang, comes from the top-tier financial dynasty, the Cen family. Cool and reserved by nature, she has extraordinary talent but has kept a low profile, until a family upheaval forces her into the city’s maelstrom. The hero, Xiao Ji, was once an elite operative with supernatural abilities in the military. After retiring from service, he was hired as her personal bodyguard. He appears steady and taciturn, but is secretly burdened with forbidden power that will exact a terrible toll whenever he uses it. The two form an alliance amid open and hidden attacks, uncovering one conspiracy after another. In this world, power and ability are intertwined, money and force go hand in hand, and the true rules are known only to a select few awakened ones. A bodyguard protecting a heiress is about more than duty: it marks the beginning of a clash of fates.
