The Sentinel I Was Assigned Says He Regrets It

When they first meet, Li Yunqi and Huo Shuo can't stand the sight of each other.

Li Yunqi thinks his employer has no sense of boundaries, while Huo Shuo thinks Li's gentle demeanor is fake.

They part on bad terms. After many twists and turns, the Guide and Sentinel still end up walking down the aisle together.

At their first meeting after being assigned as a married couple, Huo Shuo tosses a bank card down in front of him.

Li Yunqi looks at him in confusion.

The tall, imposing Sentinel scowls. "This is my salary card. It's got all my money on it. Don't come looking for me unless you have to."

"All right," Li Yunqi agrees. In truth, I only got close to you because I have an ulterior motive.

Who could have guessed that later, the Sentinel junior would blush, grab him by the waist, and coo in a cute voice: "Dogs are born to cuddle with cats."

Li Yunqi replies, "We're in a marriage of convenience. You were the one who told me not to get close to you."

Huo Shuo lets out a little whine and clings to him, refusing to let go.

What marriage of convenience? This is the Guide he officially married!

An unconventional power couple in a Guide-and-Sentinel setting.
