After transmigrating into the role of a princess’s armed bodyguard, Gu Yi faces a deadly choice from the start: either way, he dies!
His princess, Zhao Yao, is domineering and willful in public, but ruthless and calculating in private.
With modern knowledge and a mysterious System, he performs miracles, creates deadly weapons, solves cold cases, and earns one extraordinary merit after another, gradually becoming the powerful minister she trusts most.
He thought this was just a high-end job, until the princess dropped her disguise and draped the imperial robe over her shoulders:
“Gu Yi, help me stage a rebellion. Once we succeed, I’ll share this realm with you!”
Retreat, and his entire family will be executed. Advance, and he’ll be plunged into endless ruin.
With no choice, Gu Yi is forced aboard the rebel ship. But before their great undertaking can even begin, it falls apart halfway through: the emperor learns of their plans.
As the iron hooves of the Imperial Guards smash through the palace gates, Gu Yi raises the flintlock in his hand and smiles:
“Your Majesty, do you know... the power of the Industrial Revolution?”
