A bright, cheerful fisherman's daughter x a bodyguard agency owner who doesn't want to be a young master from an aristocratic family
A Zhou is a guard at the Cang'er Escort Agency. After delivering goods to a perverted island lord, an overbearing bandit, and an old man who pretended to be an emperor just to amuse himself, A Zhou thought nothing could surprise her anymore.
Until she gathered the courage to tell her employer, Shen Shuhuai, "I like you." Shen Shuhuai looked confused. "Haven't we been together for ages?"
"Since when?" A Zhou cried.
"That day, when the weather was lovely. You were standing on the second floor, drying your hair after washing it. I walked into the agency, looked up at you, and said, 'Let's be together.' You tilted your head and smiled at me. Didn't you agree then?"
A Zhou remembered that day. Water had gotten into her ears while she was washing her hair, and all she could hear was a ringing sound, so she'd given Shen Shuhuai a perfunctory smile.
The autumn wind carried a chill. Shen Shuhuai took her hand. "It's not too late to start now."
P.S. The main plot follows the main cast on escort missions. Since their work takes them on the road, the story won't be limited to the capital, and they'll travel to other places too. Along the way, they'll witness other people's joys and sorrows, giving the story an episodic feel. There are some wuxia elements, but not many. Some episodes are lighthearted, while others are sad.
Theme: Good and evil will both be repaid in the end.
