The Guard Has Eyes Only for His Master

Song Nuan read a book, then opened her eyes to find herself transformed into the young maid at the heroine’s side. Checking the timeline, she realized it was exactly when the heroine married the male lead, became a princess consort, and got her happy ending. Great. She wouldn’t have to follow the heroine through the plot. Just as Song Nuan was plotting how to free herself from her servant status and escape to faraway places, the male lead returned to the manor with a group of people. Was the man standing behind him, dressed in black and carrying a long saber at his waist, really Tu Su, the taciturn character in the book who swore to follow orders to the death? She fell silent for a long moment, then went back to the heroine’s side. Maybe she should wait a little longer... A Maid and a Guard’s Daily Life One day, the princess consort went up the mountain to pray at a temple. They ran into bandits on the way, and the maids were bound up and tossed into a woodshed. Just as Song Nuan was despairing of life, a shadow flashed past. She looked closely and saw that it was Tu Su. Song Nuan was delighted, but said aloud, “The mistress comes first. Go!” The guard nodded solemnly, leaped away, and vanished from sight. The maid Song Nuan gaped in disbelief. H-he just left? How was she supposed to stay safe now?! She ground her teeth. “At least untie me first!” A throwing knife whizzed by, and the ropes around Song Nuan fell away. Song Nuan smiled. * One day Song Nuan shyly approached the guard, fidgeting as she held out a sachet to him. He glanced at it expressionlessly. “The mistress has ordered that no outsiders be allowed in. You should go back. You don’t stand a chance.” “Actually... it’s for you...” His gaze sharpened, and his face darkened. “We are a man and a woman, so exchanging gifts in private is inappropriate. Please go back.” Song Nuan’s face stiffened. She nearly had a heart attack. Later The usually nimble guard came over with an awkward gait. A suspicious blush colored his fair cheeks, and he glanced around uneasily. “Th-that sachet from before... do you have any left?” Song Nuan said flatly, “No. I gave it to someone.” Tu Su’s expression changed. With a swish, he drew his long saber and held it across himself, his face dark as he gritted out, “Which bastard? I’ll go kill him!” P.S.: 1. Later on, both the male and female leads will shed their ancient-era secret identities and return to the modern world. 2. There won’t be any extra chapters. Everything will be explained in the main story. ****Coming Soon*** The Supporting Male Character Looked This Way [Book Transmigration] Su Yuying knelt in the pouring rain all night. Only then did she suddenly realize she had transmigrated into a book as the female supporting character, whose ending had been set in stone from the start. It was laughable. She had been walking on eggshells, painstakingly plotting a way out for herself, only to meet a gruesome end. Meanwhile, the supporting male character who had pushed her into the abyss step by step had fallen from his horse and transmigrated into a cat. He was curled up in the heroine’s arms, sound asleep. Su Yuying didn’t want to become cannon fodder in the love story between the hero and heroine. She gritted her teeth and proceeded carefully, turning the shop her concubine mother had left her into a thriving business and quietly amassing a fortune. One night, with every house lit up and lanterns hanging everywhere, she slipped away without a sound, taking her mad mother with her. Everyone in the capital had heard that the Chancellor’s third daughter born to a concubine had a mad mother. They had also heard that she was jealous by nature and deeply calculating, and had schemed against every young lady in the Chancellor’s household. Yin Heng had heard the rumors and thought little of people like her. After turning into a cat, he was picked up by the Chancellor’s legitimate daughter and taken home. What he saw with his own eyes was no different from the rumors. But only later did Yin Heng realize that Su Yuying had struggled through life, stumbling along, and that everything she did was for the sake of staying alive. Even after the woman who was her mother in name exchanged her birth-date card and arranged her marriage, Yin Heng still dealt with the matter unhurriedly. He had never imagined that something so insignificant to him could mean so much to Su Yuying. She disappeared when he least expected it, without leaving a trace. Later, Yin Heng said to the person he had spent so long searching for, “Since you don’t want to marry him, how about marrying me instead?” A little recommendation~ HE with a Rough Man from a Period Novel [Quick Transmigration], by Lu Zui Xu Nian’an made a wish: she wanted an HE with the rough man from a period novel.
