A taciturn, tough-looking but secretly timid shadow guard × a crown prince who has turned over a new leaf, is trying to be a better person, and keeps getting himself into trouble
Chu Liang was reborn at the moment she had alienated everyone and reached the pinnacle of power.
In her previous life, she had schemed and struggled relentlessly for the throne, only to realize in the end that she had gained nothing. Behind her lay mountains of bones; before her stood sycophantic eunuchs.
Reborn once more, Chu Liang resolved to turn over a new leaf and start over.
Her goal was to be a lazy fish who did nothing but lie around!
If possible... Chu Liang also wanted to win over her sweet, loyal little shadow guard.
The little shadow guard thought his master was acting a bit differently from usual.
Not only did she show concern for him, a shadow guard who was usually ignored, she also kept looking at him with a fervent gaze that was hard to describe.
The little shadow guard thought his master must have come down with some serious illness.
That was, until he regained his memories.
The little shadow guard knelt before Chu Liang's bed, eyes red and fingers clenched until his knuckles turned white. "Your Highness, this time, you mustn't leave me behind again."
- Your Highness, it is Nan Xing's honor to be the sharp blade in your hand and clear every obstacle in your path. It was so in my previous life, and it will be so in this one as well...
Reader's Guide:
1. 1v1, both leads' first time, happy ending.
2. Both are reborn, but the male lead only remembers his previous life later on.
3. The setting is very loose, so please don't nitpick. Thanks!
4. All the political scheming in the story is just there to help the romance along. The author isn't good at writing blurbs, so please read the story itself!
5. You've made it this far, so why not add it to your favorites?
