Reborn as a Cannon-Fodder Villain, I Become the Heroine’s Stepmother’s Bodyguard

Chen Luo transmigrated, and from the start, all he had was a corpse. The dead man turned out to be him.

Luckily, he activated the Equivalent Trade System.

Anything can be traded!

After trading the corpse to the System for a legal identity, he joined a top conglomerate in Modu and became the personal bodyguard of Zhao Yingxuan, the tycoon’s beautiful wife.

But the moment he signed the contract, the System’s alarm blared: this was the world of "The Soldier King in the City of Flowers", and he was a disposable pawn in the villainous stepmother’s camp. In three days, the fated protagonist would break all four of his limbs and sink him in the river!

Faced with this hellish start, Chen Luo stayed completely calm and immediately began trading through the System.

No ancient martial arts cultivation?

He used the million in cash his wealthy employer had advanced him to trade for a perfect physical enhancement, giving himself a full set of eight-pack abs!

Was the protagonist, Ye Fan, about to return and show off?

Chen Luo beat him to it, trading junk for the protagonist’s divine martial arts technique, then selling it at a premium to a reclusive family for a tidy profit!

When the arrogant soldier king returned to Modu with his crooked grin, ready to slaughter his way through the city, he discovered that the bodyguard he was supposed to trample underfoot had not only pulled out even more powerful ancient martial arts, but was also holding the heiress he had dreamed about day and night in his arms.

“Heard you’re the soldier king? Sorry, I paid to win.”
