A Cautious Escort? Pay More and I'll Exorcise Them by Force

Gu Yuan transmigrated into a book, into the strange world of the Great Qian Dynasty, and became a doomed background escort in a deadly predicament.

From the start, he was tasked with escorting a peerlessly beautiful empress on the run. The group also included the “original protagonist,” who was ready to play the hero and save the beauty at a moment’s notice.

Faced with uncanny rules that meant certain death if broken, Chen Guan didn’t panic at all. He awakened the Equivalent Exchange System: as long as he paid up, he could purchase “rule immunity” and “absolute violence”!

Encountered the uncanny rule “Hear a name, never look back”?

Gu Yuan paid ten taels of silver, then slapped the uncanny creature so hard its soul scattered: “You dare block my escort route? That’ll cost extra!”

The original protagonist ran into danger while treasure hunting and called for help?

Gu Yuan: “I can save you, but you’ll have to trade your lucky find for it!”

And so, Gu Yuan smashed his way through one crisis after another, using the chosen one as a treasure radar and the uncanny creatures as ATMs.

The aloof empress who had once looked down on him fell for him completely: “He seems greedy and uncouth, but in truth he’s a hidden master who’s tempering his heart in the mortal world. He’s so gentle!”

The mysterious tutor exclaimed: “This boy ignores the rules of heaven and earth. There’s never been another like him in all history!”

Counting his banknotes, Gu Yuan sneered: “Stop imagining things. I really just want to make money!”
