The Bodyguard Quits Being Human

Next up: "Romance in the Mist"

---- Blurb ----

[Fake Bodyguard, Real Big Shot x Irresistible Star]

Hounded by sasaeng fans, Si Qingning hires a bodyguard at a "high price."

A Yu is ruggedly handsome, tall, and skilled in combat. He risks his life for her without a second thought.

Si Qingning loses herself in the sense of security he gives her, falling helplessly in love.

"A Yu, you have to protect me well."

"You're the only person in the world who's ever been good to me."

"A Yu, give me a hug. For my birthday, will you give me a ring?"

When no one else is around, A Yu drops his cold, stern act, wraps an arm around her waist, and grins like a street punk, looking anything but respectable.

"You want a ring too? Keep dreaming."

Si Qingning comes from a troubled family. Her older sister is on the run and only shows up to extort money from her.

One day, when Si Qingning meets her sister, the police suddenly swarm in and arrest her.

The one who called the police was A Yu.

That day, Si Qingning learns that his full name is Ren Shiyu.

He's the young master of the Ren Group, the man her sister has spent months hiding from, the one who haunts her nightmares.

As wind and rain rage outside, Si Qingning huddles and shivers, her eyes utterly lifeless. "So... was it all fake?"

The box clenched in Ren Shiyu's palm digs painfully into his skin.

It was the birthday present he'd planned to give her.

Ren Shiyu once thought he would live in darkness forever. Then he met Si Qingning and realized that fairies really do fall from the heavens, just to illuminate his barren heart.

A family-themed story in my collection: "My Mom Deserved a Different Fate" (complete)

Blurb:

A popular online joke: "I'm about to transmigrate back three years. What do you need me to do?"

Top comment 1: Tell me not to make Mom angry again. Tell me to treat her well and make sure I take her to the hospital for a checkup. Her illness was still in its early stages back then and could have been cured easily.

Then tell me to study hard and never take out a loan with usurious interest, no matter how hard life gets in the future.

But I won't listen to you. Just beat me half to death.

I'm actually a coward. I just like to act tough. If nothing else works, cut off one of my fingers, and I'll do whatever you say.

After typing that, Qian Xilai climbed onto the rooftop.

Just before she jumped, someone approached from behind.

"If I could send you back three years, would you still want to jump from here?"

--

Qian Xilai was an extremely rebellious child. It wasn't until after her mother died that she realized how cruel people could be.

By the time she came to her senses, she'd already fallen into an abyss. Her current circumstances were all the result of other people's schemes, pushing her step by step into a dead end, where they were waiting to drain the last drop of blood from her and then discard her.

Desperate over how her life had turned out, she met someone on the brink of death.

The other person worked at a classified research institute and was willing to give her a chance to start over, helping her change her circumstances.

They also entrusted her with an S+ level, immensely difficult mission, one that generations of people had protected for thousands of years.

Pre-release: "Romance in the Mist"

Shang Chuyin has been with her boyfriend for two years, cherished and pampered. She thinks their love will last forever.

Until her birthday, when he stands her up and vanishes.

The next day, he returns smelling of perfume.

Shang Chuyin breaks up with him, but the scumbag uses every means at his disposal to disrupt her life and refuses to let her go.

With no other choice, Shang Chuyin decides to marry someone more powerful than him to escape his control.

--

Jiang Ye is a legendary figure. He once fought off a hundred opponents alone to reclaim the Jiang family's business empire, and now sits at the top through cruelty, ruthlessness, and a total lack of conscience.

Shang Chuyin pleads with him through tearful, pear-blossom beauty, and he finds her amusing.

Swirling his wineglass, he gives a lazy smile. "Miss Shang, I'm no vegetarian. If you marry me, you'd better be able to handle it."

Jiang Ye has always found the world dull. Then one day, a wife drops out of the sky.

In the most desolate twilight, after waking from a nap, she pulls the blanket higher, her face flushed as she asks with feigned composure, "Did you sleep well?"

In that moment, Jiang Ye discovers the joy of being alive.

--

The day the scumbag comes knocking, Jiang Ye says calmly, "I was just about to come find you."

Scumbag: "At least you know what's good for you. Give Yin Yin back to me!"

Jiang Ye punches him in the face. "Give back the little dress my wife loves most!"
