After others scheme to arrange his marriage, Nan Yubing resolutely elopes with the shadow guard,

beginning a wonderful life of running a clinic and falling in love.

After doing good deeds and healing people, Nan Yubing becomes the healer the locals trust most,

and he and his shadow guard become the model couple known throughout the surrounding villages.

Nan Yubing: Fei Nian, I like you.

Fei Nian: This subordinate knows.

Nan Yubing: I like you very much.

Fei Nian: ...

Everyone else at the clinic: We got hit with a faceful of affection without warning.

Mutual 1v1, HE. The early parts have a somewhat old-fashioned feel.

[Coming soon] Reborn, I Dragged My Shadow Guard into Rebellion

Qi Mingyun diligently served a young emperor for eight years. Once his work was done, he retired, only to meet an untimely death.

When the birds are gone, the bow is put away. Not only was he branded a treacherous minister, but the fruits of his years of governance were stolen by others.

Yet in his final moments, he realized that the quiet, hardworking, taciturn little shadow guard who had always been by his side seemed to have a crush on him.

Qi Mingyun: I should've known better than to be a workaholic. [Finally gets it.jpg]

Given another chance, Qi Mingyun decides to live up to his reputation as a villain and truly take the throne.

From the prince's estate to the imperial court, from Yingdu to the northern desert, amid the maneuvering within a vast web of intrigue, he opens his long-sealed heart and learns that some feelings can only be understood by opening your heart.

After using every means of comforting and seducing him, the little shadow guard, scarred by emotional neglect, finally admits his secret crush.

Then Qi Mingyun watches as Ye Ling, who has always been silent, turns into a chatterbox who reminds him about everything.

Qi Mingyun: Why weren't you like this before?

Ye Ling: You weren't like this before either...

This is really just a story about a cool, affection-starved, workaholic prince, top, and a clever, calm, incredibly skilled shadow guard, bottom, working together to seize power and fall in love.

[Coming soon] Transmigrating with Every Achievement Unlocked, I Picked Up a Wounded Shadow Guard

[Seemingly carefree but actually cold and aloof transmigrator top x resilient, patient shadow guard bottom]

Xu Zhifei is a single-player collector who doesn't play PvP. While taking handsome screenshots of the game's open world, a bolt of lightning strikes him and sends him into another world.

When he wakes up with his hair standing on end, the System tells him that he's transmigrated with his account. Turning around, he finds a shadow guard covered in blood lying beside him.

Xu Zhifei: I want to run. Why can't I get away?

System: Mission: rescue Ying Qing and resolve his predicament.

Ying Qing opens his eyes and finally sees the master he has searched for day and night. He kneels to beg forgiveness, tears streaming down his face.

Xu Zhifei is baffled but reluctantly accepts the shadow guard. From then on, he embarks on a path of revenge, only to accidentally reach the top of the martial world rankings.

System: Congratulations, player! You've unlocked the ultimate achievement. Would you like to return to your original world?

Xu Zhifei hesitates.

Ying Qing was once the most outstanding shadow guard serving the head of the Lin Ge Pavilion, but the pavilion master suddenly vanished without a trace.

His enemies came one after another, and the Lin Ge Pavilion was destroyed. For three years, he struggled to survive alone. Outnumbered, he was ambushed and fell off a cliff.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw the master he had searched for day and night.

But his master no longer recognized him. Why was he still willing to help him take revenge?

Ying Qing couldn't understand.

Everything seemed like an illusion, but his master's kindness toward him was real.

Ying Qing: I deserve a thousand deaths, but I have no regrets, even if I die nine times.

Theme: Only lasting devotion can lead to a happy ending.
