The Puppy Secret Guard Took Down Long Aotian

A devoted, shadow-guard-type gong x the male lead of a novel, shou

1.

In his previous life, Chu Qi was the emperor's chief shadow guard.

After he died, he was accidentally bound by a passing System and ended up in an unfamiliar modern world.

The System gave him the identity of a first-year college student and told him, "Binding you was an accident. There's a bug in the world. Several novel worlds have fused together. Stay put, and once the worlds return to normal, I'll send you to be reincarnated."

The illiterate Chu Qi didn't understand what worlds or male leads of novels were, but he obediently nodded. After all, he was a shadow guard, and the most important thing for a shadow guard was to obey orders.

But as soon as the System went offline, Chu Qi met a man at school who was aloof and carried himself with extraordinary distinction.

The man shot him a cold glance.

Chu Qi's eyes lit up. What an imposing air of authority! I want to pledge my loyalty to him! I want him to be my new master.

His new master was exceptionally capable, a young prodigy who was highly valued.

Chu Qi cheerfully followed his new master around every day, clingy and eager, telling him how much he admired him. Even when his master rejected him at first, he never lost heart.

Then he discovered that there were three other masters with the same commanding presence!

The second master exuded dominance. He was supposedly a domineering CEO, with a business empire and countless companies under his control, skilled at managing people. This was the bearing of a ruler!

The third master was unruly and defiant. He had supposedly transmigrated from an interstellar world and once been an interstellar overlord who conquered countless territories. This was the way of a ruler!

The fourth master had a gentle appearance but was deeply calculating. He was supposedly a beloved charmer, adored by countless men who would brave fire and water for him. How skillful he was at winning people's hearts! This was the art of a ruler!

Loyalty, loyalty! Chu Qi wanted to pledge his loyalty to every one of them!

Excitedly, Chu Qi followed the masters around, fussing over them and offering his earnest advice.

One day, his CEO master received a gift from Chu Qi: a nameplate engraved with Chu Qi's name. Chu Qi said it was a symbol of loyalty.

His master smiled meaningfully. "Are you my personal puppy? Is this your dog tag?"

A trace of guilt crossed Chu Qi's eyes. Actually, he'd given every master one.

But each man thought he had received the most special gift, so they all gave him even more generous gifts in return.

Chu Qi was baffled. Wasn't I the one giving gifts? Why am I the one who ended up with more?

At last, one day, the men discovered one another. They exchanged hostile glances, then surrounded Chu Qi with different expressions and demanded,

"Don't you like me? You said all those sweet things so convincingly. Can't I be the only one?"

Chu Qi felt terribly guilty. A master really should have only one person to pledge loyalty to, but he just couldn't help himself.

The CEO slowly straightened his suit cuff and stood in front of Chu Qi. "He once promised that he would follow me for the rest of his life. Only the strongest deserves his devotion, doesn't he?"

The System came online just in time to see the male leads confronting one another, and let out a piercing shriek. What have you done to my four male leads?!

Chu Qi looked up in confusion. "What male leads? I don't understand."

#What do I do when my Host is beautiful and strong but illiterate?#

#How did you turn all four of my male leads into your masters?#

Reader's guide:

1. The CP is with the CEO, but the main story has a love-triangle showdown.

2. The protagonist was a shadow guard in his previous life, not a helpless type.
