Good-for-nothing college student Mu Shuyan wakes up to find she's become a shadow guard.
Her daily work is to hide wherever she can and protect her master from the shadows.
Mu Shuyan has trained as hard as she can, but her skills still aren't up to standard, and she's at risk of being fired.
For other people, getting fired means temporary unemployment. For her, it means certain death.
Luckily, the Empress Dowager is kind enough to give her a new assignment: kill the emperor's secret lover.
Since arriving in this world, Mu Shuyan has never seen the emperor. All she knows is that she likes to go outside the palace.
According to the guards' investigation, it all stems from the emperor keeping a beauty outside the palace.
The Empress Dowager has long been selecting sons of prominent families for the emperor to choose from and continue the imperial line, so she despises this secret lover outside the palace.
When Mu Shuyan finds her target, the beauty has caught a cold and looks frail and pitiable.
After a moment's silence, Mu Shuyan reports to her superiors: The emperor is hiding someone skillfully, and I haven't found them yet.
From then on, Mu Shuyan keeps watch over her target, putting off the assignment whenever she can and coming up with every excuse she can think of.
"His Majesty is always by the beauty's side. We must wait for the right moment."
"His Majesty has moved the person he's hiding. I need to look again."
"His Majesty is ill and needs the beauty to care for him."
The Empress Dowager sends a letter calling Mu Shuyan useless, then dispatches another troop to kill both her and the secret lover.
Mu Shuyan sends the beauty away in advance and faces all the pursuers alone. Outnumbered, she is eventually captured.
Just as a sharp sword is about to pierce her heart, a furious shout rings out, and everyone drops to their knees.
The beauty, who should have already left, rushes toward her in alarm.
"If anything happens to Shuyan, I'll have every one of you buried with her!"
Mu Shuyan thinks she must be hallucinating. Why is the beauty calling herself 'I, the emperor'?

This novel has a leisurely, slice-of-life pace.
The shadow guard is neglecting her duties, so it takes quite a few chapters to reach the events described in the blurb.
There are quite a few characters, so it has a somewhat ensemble-cast feel.
It should be a long story.

Theme: Cherish life and do your best to live well.
I really like the subject matter written by the boss. I have been regretting it since the day I stopped updating. I have been wondering when I can find such an interesting article. I haven't opened Jinjiang for a month. When I opened it, I was very excited about the update. I hope the boss can update more, but if it conflicts with life, then The present life is more important🐶🌹🐶🌹I heard a very popular song during the Chinese Valentine's Day, which is similar to the one written by my boss about begging for literary skills during the Qixi Festival. When I saw it, I felt it was very novel. I felt so happy with this writing. I just have to relive the plot again. I have forgotten it after such a long time~
Nice*.. (๑･∀･๑)*.. , I have a small suggestion, the title of the catalog can be more eye-catching, which will attract more people to click in and take a look (👀), come on 🐰
Wife, what happened? Why don't you even have a leave request? TvT
As an old bookworm, this book is very well written. What impressed me the most is that the plot is very smooth, natural and logical, and the various characters are also very rich, surpassing most novels (many novels nowadays are too flat to be read). If you are less interested in it, it may be because it is so good, and people want to save more for reading (it is a bit painful to read chapter by chapter). The novel itself is absolutely fine.
The daily life is too daily, there are too many people, and the main plot is delayed. It is too dragging, which makes it difficult to retain readers (personal opinion)
Did the teacher also come to take the provincial examination in our Hunan Province? [Glasses]
Come on, teacher, the writing is very attractive. I look forward to your updates.
If you finish writing, we can wait
Teacher, you are finally back 😭
What? I actually tied it!
