Ming Ruo transmigrated into a melodramatic interstellar danmei novel, becoming the protagonist's love interest's... human shield.
The kind of crucial cannon fodder who starts out arrogant and ends up suffering, who has his moment of triumph early on and pays with his life later.
The upside was a generous salary and excellent benefits. The early days were genuinely great.
Ming Ruo: Fine. I'll be dedicated to my job. Love what you do, and do what you love. I have to maintain professional standards.
He nervously played the role of an excellent human shield.
The Imperial Crown Prince was a womanizer who claimed he would bow to only one person in his life. Then one day, he was forced into an arranged marriage...
Ming Ruo declared his claim with starry eyes: "I can't help it. Your Highness just dotes on me. He only dotes on me."
The protagonist, the prince's real reason for rejecting the marriage, the love interest: "?!"
The Federation Marshal was cold, solitary, and had only one close friend in his life. That friend was kidnapped...
Ming Ruo took out the kidnapper with one slash (?) and planted a foot on him. "You have no idea what's going on. I'm the person he cares about most!"
The kidnapped protagonist's love interest: "??!"
The Star Alliance's ambitious ruler wanted to overthrow the entire interstellar order. Then one day, he was gravely wounded and in danger...
Ming Ruo cried uncontrollably. "He ended up like this because he saved me. He loves me so much, sob sob sob."
The protagonist's love interest, who had just been rescued and was secretly touched: "???!"
After many twists and turns, the story reached its end, and the protagonist's love interest was finally safe. Ming Ruo decided to choose a dignified way to retire.
He would take the generous pay he'd earned as a human shield and fake his death...
But who could have guessed that all the things he'd made up back then would come true?
The notoriously flirtatious prince turned over a new leaf, stayed faithful, and spent the rest of his life pining for one person.
The marshal, who had been single for hundreds of years, quietly changed his marital status to "widowed."
The cunning ruler refused to accept what had happened. He left home to search everywhere, turning the whole interstellar world upside down.
Ming Ruo, who had changed his name and gone into hiding, but was still found: ?
He stared at the cold-faced person before him and stammered, "I-I-I... I'm retired! No amount of money will change that!"
The man blocked every escape route, his voice icy.
"According to interstellar law, the dead..."
"Cannot retire."
