The Loyal Guard's Descent Into Darkness

My ongoing novel, "The Princess Starts a Romance and Abandons Him," is now serializing. Give it a try!

Li Yanjun was born noble, the most cherished princess of the Ying Dynasty.

She did whatever she pleased, spending her days going here and there to have fun with her personal guard.

Her guard, Jiu Si, was handsome and refined, gentle and compliant, and utterly devoted. He knew just how to win her favor.

Now and then, gossip claimed that Jiu Si was playing coy and using the palace concubines' tricks to curry favor with Li Yanjun, pretending to hold back in order to draw her in.

But Li Yanjun only laughed at herself and paid it no mind.

Unfortunately, the Ying Dynasty's military had grown lax, and the country was in decline. The surrounding minor states even forced Li Yanjun to marry into one of their royal families to secure peace.

Feeling threatened, she cooperated with her father and set about finding a husband, determined to marry before she was sent away.

On the day her plan succeeded, Li Yanjun held the imperial edict granting her marriage and realized she might have made a mistake.

Jiu Si, usually so kind and gentle, was covered in blood as he advanced step by step and grabbed her wrist. "Your Highness, don't you want me anymore?"

Everyone in the capital knew that the most beloved guard of Princess Lekang had died on a winter's day.

Swept away by the surging river, his body was never found.

On that same winter's day, the emperor passed away.

To stabilize the situation, the princess decided to marry into a neighboring state, becoming Prince Heheng's wife.

It was said that when the princess met Prince Heheng, she immediately burst into tears, seemingly terrified and mortified.

There were also rumors that Prince Heheng was moody and unpredictable, and had locked the princess in her room.

Only the servants of the princess's residence would sometimes hear Prince Heheng's voice in the dead of night.

"Don't be afraid. Your subordinate is here."

After all the trials and tribulations, he remains Li Yanjun's subject, willing to wipe her shoes and brave any danger for her.
