The Bold and Cool Legitimate Daughter: My Loyal Guard Is Clingy

Shen Jingyuan is the eldest legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's household in the Great Jing dynasty. In her previous life, she trusted a treacherous man and her half-sister, who stole her heart and took credit for her achievements, leaving her entire family dead. Even Xie Ci, the loyal bodyguard who had grown up by her side, was hacked to death protecting her, his body lost without a trace. Reborn, she returns to the eve of her fifteenth birthday ceremony. Only cold resolve remains in her eyes. She casts off her former gentleness and becomes a bold, fearless heiress, bent on revenge, punishing scoundrels, and protecting her family. Love is no longer part of her plans.

Xie Ci is Shen Jingyuan's personal bodyguard. Adopted by the ducal household as a child, his life belongs to her alone. Taciturn and unmatched in skill, he is a fiercely devoted guardian. In his previous life, he loved her with all his heart but dared not say so, silently protecting her in his role as a guard until he died for her. After Shen Jingyuan is reborn, she no longer overlooks him, but remains proud and distant, treating him only as her most capable subordinate. Xie Ci, however, seizes the chance to be reborn with the memories and dying obsession of his previous life, transforming completely into a clingy, loyal guardian. He stays by her side without a moment's respite, his eyes fixed on her alone. He is willing to brave any danger and slaughter every enemy for her, hoping only to earn a single tender glance from her.
