Other people are reborn with a golden finger. I was reborn with a “love bug,” the kind my unreliable mother left behind. The moment I opened my eyes, I was bound to five top-tier walking disasters: a lazy prince, a miserly tycoon, a muscleheaded general, a scheming crown prince, and a scumbag father who cries and begs to atone every single day.
I only wanted to get revenge in peace. Instead:
- The prince gave up fighting for the throne and chased after me every day, calling me “Big Brother Wei.”
- The tycoon’s son gave me gold whenever he saw me and said, “Money can’t compare to you.” (Come on, you were haggling with a beggar just two days ago!)
- The martial arts alliance leader’s son insisted on being my bodyguard, saying, “Your gun matters more than the kingdom.”
- Even the most arrogant crown prince toned down his swagger around me, then secretly slipped me a copy of The Throne Succession Handbook and said, “Take it if you want it.”
Me: Thanks, but I just want to take down my enemies. I’m not looking for a harem.
The walking disasters: Oh, yes, you are.
Even more ridiculous, my scumbag father followed me around every day, offering martial arts manuals and saying, “Daughter, your father was wrong.” He nearly made me swing my sword crooked while trying to kill someone.
Help! Can this love bug be unbound? Anyone? I’m in a bit of a hurry. Wait, this walking disaster can help me bring down a corrupt minister? And that one can help me surround the imperial palace?
Hmm... Maybe I’ll keep them around for now. After all, having five free laborers along for the ride on my revenge quest isn’t such a bad deal, right?
