A Cannon Fodder's Guide to Raising a Dark Guard [Reborn]

A protagonist-attack story with a new love interest.

[Bright and Noble, Decisive and Ruthless, Gentle Prince as the Attack] x [Quiet, Devoted, Loyal Guard as the Receive]

Jun Buxie went from being the most taboo of the seventh princes to the strongest contender for the throne. It took him eighteen years.

Everyone feared his thunderous methods and ruthless decisiveness, but no one knew his weakness: when he was young, he fell in love with someone and became so deeply infatuated that he couldn't pull himself free.

It wasn't until the moment of his death that he realized he was merely a cannon-fodder attack, hopelessly in love with the story's main receive. The only one who had stayed by his side was Xuan Lixing, the bodyguard who had followed him since childhood.

When he opened his eyes again, Jun Buxie saw the person who had once reached out to help him when they were young, the moonlight of his life.

Thanks, but no thanks. He's done being a cannon-fodder attack.

He may be done with being cannon fodder, but he still has battles to fight, military power to seize, and an empire to claim. And he has to treat Xuan Lixing, who's always been by his side, properly.

Getting a second chance, Jun Buxie finally discovers that his quiet, cold, gloomy bodyguard has another side to him.

When Xuan Lixing is quiet, he is Jun Buxie's shadow. When he gets moving, he's the most ferocious dog at his side.

He'll risk his life to bite anyone who gets in his way. Everyone says that Xuan Lixing has done so many dirty jobs for Jun Buxie that sooner or later, Jun Buxie will no longer be able to tolerate him.

Xuan Lixing: "If my master has use for me, then I am his most useful sword. If he has no use for me, what good am I to keep around? If anyone slanders my master again, I will cut them down without mercy."

The people are furious but dare not speak. All they can do is pray that Jun Buxie will keep his dog in check, or kill him as soon as possible. But as they wait and wait, what they hear instead is that Xuan Lixing is to become the empress.

Xuan Lixing stares blankly at the phoenix seal and wedding robes. If he becomes empress, will he still be able to stay by his master's side every day? No, he should just keep being a bodyguard.

Jun Buxie: "I don't care. You're spending the night with me."
