Confident, sharp-tongued schemer × frail, calculating top scholar
[Love at first sight (one-sided) + strong female lead and weak male lead + female lead has few romantic feelings + male lead is a delicate little flower at first, then turns dark. The traditional male and female lead roles are reversed; the male lead is a pampered husband.]
Qian Duoduo, codename Seventeen, is a shadow guard at the Prince of War's manor. Her daily tasks are all over the place, but they're pretty easy. Then one day she's reassigned.
Her prince is the male lead of a tragic romance, and she's the only female shadow guard in the entire guard unit. So Shadow Guard Seventeen is assigned to stay by the future princess consort's side.
She begins a job that's supposedly about protection, but is really about surveillance.
But Seventeen isn't content to be just a shadow guard. She's aiming for something greater.
By chance, she gets bound to a System that rescues tragic-romance heroines, which helps her achieve her ambitions. From then on, she starts carrying out a series of schemes against the people around the Prince of War.
As Ye Qinglan's tragic-love meter keeps shooting up, Shadow Guard Seventeen finally makes up her mind.
In the courtyard, Qian Duoduo rolls up her sleeves and sharpens her blade until it gleams, then says ominously, "Since Xiao Beiming is only pretending to be disfigured, I'll make him a real monster!"
Private Theater
Qian Duoduo straightens the man's torn collar and reminds him, "It's broad daylight. Put your clothes on."
Pei Ang clings to her arm and grabs on tight, his voice anguished and plaintive. "Do you think my body isn't good enough? Have you got your eye on someone else?"
Qian Duoduo's heart pounds. What is this guy talking about?
When the woman doesn't answer, Pei Ang pulls the saber from her waist, his eyes bloodshot. "I knew it! I'm going to kill that bastard outside!"
Qian Duoduo quickly snatches the saber away and pulls him into her arms. "I was worried you'd catch a cold. Don't go making trouble."
Pei Ang wraps his arms around her waist, looking aggrieved. "Really? I'm not as powerful as you, and I'm not as strong..."
