The Nine Gates: I Just Became an Adjutant, and Now My Master Shows Up?

[Nine Gates + Over-the-Top Power Fantasy + Unhinged Antics + Defiant to the Core]

Zhang Xiaoyu transmigrates into the Nine Gates as a discarded son of the Zhang family who shares his name. Just after escaping to Changsha, he becomes Zhang Qishan's masked adjutant.

The good news: he is bound to the Die-to-Get-Ahead System. If any hostile faction gloriously takes him out, he can rise to the top in one leap and return to the modern world.

The bad news: his boss is Zhang Qishan, the most fiercely protective man in all of the Nine Gates, whose motto is, “My people are under my protection.”

And the really bad news: because his death-seeking antics are so “pure,” Er Yuehong takes one look at him and insists through tears that he become his disciple. Thus begins “all the ways Master dotes on his disciple.”

Before long, the whole Nine Gates is getting weirder and weirder!

When Zhang Xiaoyu puts a knife to the neck of a Japanese agent and roars, “Why won't you kill me?”

The Japanese agent: “...Bakayaro! This man is terrifying!”

Zhang Qishan: “Xiaoyu, well done! Courageous and clever, just as I'd expect from one of my people!”

Er Yuehong: “My foolish child, don't treat yourself this way. From now on, your master will protect you.”

Watching his status in the Nine Gates rise higher and higher, along with his growing strength, Zhang Xiaoyu completely breaks down.

“Please, Changsha is such a huge city. Is there really not one enemy who can take me out?!”
