In his previous life, General Gu Yanzhi of Zhenbei was given a glass of poisonous wine by the empress to die.
Before he died, he saw the tears behind her head.
After his rebirth, he didn't want military power or fiefdom.
He only invited himself into the palace and became her personal bodyguard.
While she was reviewing memorials, he was sitting on his knees grinding ink.
When she was assassinated, he blocked the arrow with his body, but only allowed her to touch his wound.
The empress finally held his chin:
"General, what are you begging for?"
He raised his head and exposed his neck:
"Please, Your Majesty, make me your private property."
