*Hong Kong noir style / battle-worn / love and hate / double agents
*Ruthless group boss x loyal bodyguard / undercover police detective
The year Guan Shan was chosen to go undercover, she had just passed the police detective exam. Full of fervor and eager for a chance to prove herself, she agreed without hesitation. During the secret selection process, her exceptional ability to withstand pressure and react on the spot helped her stand out from the many other undercover candidates.
After training ended, Guan Shan was dismissed from the police force and sent to Harbor City under a new identity.
Two years spent blending into the streets made her somewhat well-known. She also learned the ins and outs of Harbor City's food chain, and as luck would have it, the person at its very top was recruiting bodyguards.
Guan Shan wasn't about to miss that opportunity.
She just hadn't expected being a bodyguard to be so difficult.
Not only did she have to let people slap her every day, she also had to take knives and bullets for them, come up with stories in all sorts of ways, and
Lull the damned young heiress to sleep.

In Miao Huazhen's upbringing, money ranked second only to herself. To her, people were cheap, disposable commodities. If one broke, she could simply buy another. Feelings were nothing but chemical reactions in the brain, temporary and worthless.
To hold on to her position of power, she schemed and resorted to any means necessary, even throwing away her humanity.
She thought that even if she died, she had to die here.
Die in the paradise she had created with her own hands.
But that woman's arrival ruined everything.
And made her understand all too clearly:
Paradise could also be hell.

After the undercover mission ended, Guan Shan resumed her real identity and returned to the police force.
After getting used to living on the edge, it took her a long time to adjust to an ordinary life again.
The hardest thing to adjust to was having arrested Miao Huazhen with her own hands.
