Gu Jiuyue, a Great Yan general famed for defending the frontier, spent her life killing countless enemies and never feared anyone.
Until someone set her up. When she opened her eyes, she had landed in the 21st century, and she had chopped the roof off a tech company CEO's limited-edition sports car.
CEO Shen Yanzhou adjusted his glasses. "Pay me back."
Gu Jiuyue: "This general has no money."
Shen Yanzhou: "Then repay me with yourself."
Gu Jiuyue: "What does that mean?"
Shen Yanzhou: "It means you work for me to pay off your debt."
And so, an ancient general became the security chief of a modern company. She trained the guards with military strategy, caught corporate spies with battle formations, and blew up three kitchens while chopping vegetables with her sword.
Looking at his dismantled home, wrecked car, and thoroughly upended life, Shen Yanzhou asked the question that haunted his soul:
"Did I pick up a general, or a demolition crew?"
Gu Jiuyue stood with her arms around her sword, her ears slightly red. "I told you, this general has no money. But I can... keep you safe for the rest of your life."
Shen Yanzhou adjusted his glasses. A crush with zero odds of happening seemed to have come true.
