I Hired My Death-Faking Ex-Husband as My Bodyguard

Qiao Jingchen is a walking jinx. He's been frail and sickly since childhood, and whenever he goes out, sunny weather turns stormy. He trips and loses money.

To escape his bad luck, he took a master's advice and entered a marriage of convenience with a rich heir.

Who could have guessed that shortly after they married, his husband, away on a business trip overseas, would be reported dead?

Watching his cold husband's existence turn into warm numbers in his bank account, Qiao Jingchen happily inherited the estate and settled down to lie flat.

But then his bad luck came roaring back.

Stalking, blackmail, and secret photos.

All because he refused to sell the shares he had inherited.

With no other choice, he used his late husband's inheritance to hire a live-in bodyguard.

The new bodyguard was handsome and taciturn, with a model's physique. He could impress in public, cook in the kitchen, offer career advice, and even play games professionally on someone else's behalf.

The only catch was that he seemed to have his mask welded to his face. He said there was a long scar underneath and he was afraid it would scare people.

Qiao Jingchen merely attended his late husband's funeral with the bodyguard, and people started saying that the widower had taken a pretty young man as his kept boy.

Qiao Jingchen sneered at that: "Who keeps a pretty boy with his face covered?"

And this "pretty boy" was obsessed with telling him what to do.

Whenever Qiao Jingchen tried to rebel, the "pretty boy" would stare straight at him, his eyes full of the message, I'm only doing this for your own good. As a total sucker for good looks, Qiao Jingchen couldn't hold out for five seconds before giving in.

Until one day, he seized his chance and ripped the mask off.

"Oh my god, weren't you supposed to be dead?"

Zhou Muke took the mask back, pulled him into his arms, and bit his ear as if to punish him. He looked utterly aggrieved.

"If I were really dead, how could I be your pretty boy and make you take responsibility for me?"

After Zhou Muke's fake death ended and he made a grand return, people were always whispering in his ear.

Your wife has been living with a strange man for ages!

While you were dead, your wife used your money to keep a male model!

Qiao Jingchen is seeing several people at once and meeting his lover in your house every day!

Zhou Muke ignored them all and went home to repeat the rumors to Qiao Jingchen.

He pretended to be jealous and said, "Look at how many lovers you have. Which one do you like best?"

Nestled in Zhou Muke's arms, Qiao Jingchen rolled his eyes, got up, and sat on Zhou Muke's lap, covering his face with his hand like a mask.

Qiao Jingchen blinked innocently. "Can't I like them all? Honey, I want you and my side piece too."
