The Empress Doesn't Get Overtime Pay

Pairing: bodyguard x princess

At first: an innocent, honest princess and a taciturn, steady bodyguard

Later: a bold empress and a bodyguard who lets himself go

They say that being a princess means waiting for your parents to give you away like an object, as a gift to a foreign country or a subordinate?

Luckily, my country believes in equality between men and women, and a princess can inherit the throne too.

They say that as long as you have royal blood, you can kill your ambitious uncles and cousins and secure your place on the throne?

The late emperor said that idiots weren't fit to rule. I had to travel the land and witness the people's hardships first.

The official historian wrote: Empress Chenglan was intelligent and studious from childhood, steady and dignified, decisive in her actions, and swift and resolute.

The Empress: Heh. I was forced to become that way.

Lu Yongjia used to be a proper young lady.

Now she runs a company with only one employee: herself.

She lands a rare, high-paying contract, only to be chased from one end of the world to the other.

Jiang Linfeng unexpectedly becomes her savior. He has a handsome face and a clever mind, but no understanding of social niceties.

"If you weren't useful, I'd have beaten you to death ages ago," Lu Yongjia said bitterly.

Jiang Linfeng: Please give me another chance to redeem myself. Don't be so unreasonable.

Lu Yongjia: ...I'm tired. I've had enough. I might as well beat you to death.

Falling in love is easy. It's only after they get together that they discover their future was arranged long ago.

Lu Yongjia: A butcher falling in love with a pig is no good thing.

Jiang Linfeng: How am I anything like a pig?!

Plot summary: Lu Yongjia thought her parents had died in an accident. She never imagined they'd been deliberately murdered. As she searches for the killer and tries to obtain evidence, she discovers, to her surprise, that the key to it all is connected to Jiang Linfeng.
