Lin Zhao, a martial arts powerhouse, was ambushed and transmigrated into a period novel, where she became a street hooligan everyone despised.
In the book, the original owner's grandfather had saved up money from collecting scrap to pay off debts. But she stole it and gave it to the male antagonist, Nanxia, to go into business.
After the antagonist became successful, he not only failed to keep his promise to come back and marry her, but also cheated on the hapless male lead and ended up with the female lead.
By the time Lin Zhao arrived, the antagonist had already gone south with the money the original owner had given him.
Lin Zhao tugged at the original owner's frizzy hair, tempted to beat herself up.
She couldn't do business or farming, had no money, and only had her considerable fighting ability. Looking at her fists, Lin Zhao considered whether she could use them to get the original owner's family, a collection of elderly, weak, sick, and disabled people, out of their predicament.
As Lin Zhao pondered, a man shot past her like the wind.
A moment later, a woman speaking Cantonese in a strong Guangzhou accent screamed behind him, "Stop, thief!"
Lin Zhao instinctively shot off after him. In no time, she had tackled the man who'd run past like the wind and returned the stolen handbag to the elegant woman.
Seeing that Lin Zhao was skilled and had come to someone's aid, the woman asked whether she'd be willing to work as her personal bodyguard for a few days.
That one question opened the door for Lin Zhao to make a living in this era and protect her country and its people.
A cool-headed, silly powerhouse of a female lead VS a male lead who seems cold and hard on the outside but is warm and strong within
One-on-one romance, both leads' first love, two strong leads, satisfying read
Reader's Guide:
1. The female lead isn't a bodyguard in the conventional sense. In addition to the professional meaning, she also protects her family and country.
2. There may occasionally be some melodrama.

Tian Ying was having a great time chopping up zombies in the apocalypse when she accidentally stepped into thin air, fell from a building, and died. Her soul transmigrated into a period novel, where she became the villainous powerhouse's aunt, a sharp-tongued woman who died young.
The original owner was sharp-tongued but soft-hearted. She never held back, and would even spend ages scolding a dog for baring its teeth at someone.
But whenever anything happened to her family, she was always the first to help. She gave her strength and spent her money, yet because of her sharp tongue, no one ever remembered her kindness.
Her biological mother was too stingy to pay for her treatment when she fell ill. Even in the freezing cold, she wouldn't light the heated bed. In the end, the original owner froze to death.
By the time her fiance came back from his military unit to find her, she was already buried in a small earthen mound.
After the original owner's death, the nephew she had always protected, a boy with no father or mother, was bullied by the people around him. His personality changed, and he eventually became a great villain so fearsome that even the novel's male lead was shaken at the mention of him.
When Tian Ying transmigrated, she was lying on a broken kang mat. The earthen bed wasn't as cold as the book had described. In fact, it was hot.
Even so, she was barely hanging on and wanted nothing more than to get away from the original owner's family, who were scarier than zombies.
But just as she stepped out the door, a small voice sounded behind her. "Aunt, are you leaving me behind again?"
Judging by his tone, Tian Ying guessed the villain might have been reborn. So she asked, "Did you heat the kang?"
The future villain nodded, a barely perceptible glimmer of hope in his gloomy eyes.
Tian Ying: "Do you want to come with me?"
The villain nodded again.
Remembering the scene in the book where the villain avenged the original owner, and the terrible fate that awaited him, Tian Ying forced a smile more painful than a grimace and bent down to pick him up. "Then let's go to the borderlands together!"
Theme: Protect your family and country
Although there are typos and the pace is too fast and too Feng Aotian in some places, it is really fun!
Of course the master would be emotional if he was called such an unpleasant nickname.
It's quite a pretense. If it wasn't a pretense, Shao Xiaoxiao wouldn't have run away.
It is said that your writing is ancient Chinese, but only some characters are in traditional Chinese, and most of them are simplified. It is said that your writing is modern, and you have traditional Chinese characters interspersed with it. I feel that the author is a bit schizophrenic.
As I looked at it, I thought it was strange that traditional Chinese characters were used. And some traditional Chinese characters? Partially not?
Why did Yu Lu become the male protagonist with such a little bit of vision that he didn't make me so angry that I became a Buddha?
Here comes another man named Huang. The previous father and daughter named Huang are descendants and spies of the R army that invaded China.
Zhao Jing and the gangster this time feel like they are from the foot pot chicken side, and their styles and techniques are very similar.
Thinking of Ailao Mountain and Jinsha River in Sichuan
Who wears sunglasses in the deep mountains and forests? The light may not be able to penetrate through.
