For Chen Zongyi, the company president's youngest daughter coming to study at the company was nothing but an extra burden.
At their first meeting, the young heiress stepped out of a luxury car. Her skin was so pale, as if she'd never spent time in the sun, and the air seemed to cool around her.
Chen Zongyi clicked her tongue. She couldn't understand why such a delicate young lady had chosen to study the company's agricultural division.
She wasn't the only one curious. Someone offered a hefty sum for the answer, leaving Chen Zongyi no choice but to get closer to her.
Unfortunately, Chen Zongyi had already thoroughly offended the young heiress. Their arguments and contests were one thing, but they'd even drawn blood.
Luckily, Chen Zongyi was the only shameless, brazen, thick-skinned rogue in the world. Since the usual approaches had failed, she was willing to try seduction.
As soon as she walked in, Miss Luo frowned and grabbed her by the collar, precise and forceful. "You shameless woman."
But later, Chen Zongyi would be chatting away with someone, arm in arm, only to look up and meet Luo Sui's venomous glare.
Chen Zongyi made no effort to hide her grin. "What? Didn't you already know I'm shameless?"
Luo Sui said nothing. She drew an exquisitely crafted dagger that looked like an antique and lifted Chen Zongyi's chin with it.
Chen Zongyi's throat tightened.
The blade slid down and picked open a button on her blouse.
This time, it seemed she'd really gone too far...

As a royal bodyguard, Luo Sui answered directly to the imperial family. She had always lived by the sword and feared death least of all.
After one mission failed, she didn't die. Instead, she transmigrated to the modern era, carrying things that happened to be the least useful in this time.
Yet when faced with the brazen, domineering woman before her, the dagger in her boot trembled three times.
It had been too long since she'd tasted blood. Her hands were itching.
Later, she thought, it had been too long since she'd been close to a living person. Her heart was itching.

Luo Sui once said that traitors must die. When she said it, she seemed to serve some organization, and had truly executed traitors, her eyes cold and merciless.
At the time, Chen Zongyi only laughed.
Later, when Luo Sui learned her purpose, murderous intent surged within her. A hemp rope hung around Chen Zongyi's neck, its rough fibers digging into her skin, but in the end, Luo Sui loosened it a little.
Luo Sui cut ties and left, while Chen Zongyi showed rare restraint and didn't shamelessly cling to her.
She knew the young heiress was stubborn. She was bound to owe Luo Sui a life.
Her life? She was willing to offer it in repayment.
-
The day Luo Sui learned of Chen Zongyi's death, she thought she had nothing left that she didn't fear.
/
P.S. Happy ending. Chen Zongyi isn't actually shameless. Luo Sui is from the past and has rather conservative views.
