After Becoming the Heroine's Bodyguard, I Quit Pretending

[Slow-Burn Comeback] [No CP] [Strong Female Lead] [Ensemble Cast] [Passionate Battles]

Jing He's original plan for her life:

Lose her cultivation, go down the mountain, and keep a low profile.

What actually happened:

On her first day down the mountain, she became a bodyguard for a young heiress.

On her first day at the academy, she got dragged into a forum war.

On her first mission, she stumbled across an old case involving a great demon.

Later, she even carried her teammates, turned the academy upside down, carved through a dungeon, and sent shockwaves through the Four Realms.

Jing He had only one thing to say about it:

She really just wanted to earn enough to get by.

If possible, please remove "rescue the young heiress," "save her classmates along the way," and "slay great demons on the side" from her job description.

Theme: More important than being chosen by fate is having the courage to make your own choices amid lies and manipulation.
