[Cold, aloof CEO employer, top × sunny, loyal shadow guard, bottom]
[Sweet romance + mutual secret crush + doting father-figure top + raising him + healing everyday life]
Lu Hanzhou is the heir to the Lu Group, a socially anxious introvert who keeps strangers at a distance and hates socializing. His daily routine consists of three things: working, frowning, and freezing anyone who tries to get close into an ice sculpture.
Then one day, his father assigns him a personal shadow guard: Shen Xingluo.
Nineteen years old, top of his class in the theory course at the covert guards’ camp, and chattier than a sparrow just let out of its cage. His eyes are bright enough to serve as a flashlight. “Would Your Highness like some water?” “Is Your Highness hungry?” “There’s cream at the corner of your mouth, Your Highness, ”
Lu Hanzhou: Annoying.
After three months of being annoyed, Lu Hanzhou’s little shadow guard nearly fails to return from his first mission. Lu Hanzhou’s face goes dark as a pot, and he drags him home and locks him up for three days. But all he says is, “If I don’t look after you, who will?”
Later...
Shen Xingluo discovers that his poker-faced boss secretly reads comics late at night, feeds stray cats, and personally tends to his wounds. When Lu Hanzhou’s fingertips brush his injuries, he seems even more nervous than Shen Xingluo himself.
Lu Hanzhou discovers that this ray of sunshine is not only talkative but unbelievably strong. Whenever he smiles and calls him “Your Highness,” Lu Hanzhou’s heart skips a beat.
Socially anxious CEO × chatty shadow guard, doting guardian and his ward + mutual devotion between two powerful men.
“Shen Xingluo.”
“Here!”
“Don’t call me Your Highness anymore. Call me by my name.”
“Then... Brother Hanzhou?”
Lu Hanzhou’s ears turn red. “...Whatever you like.”
