Zhou Mu came from a humble background and worked as a bodyguard. His skillful fighting made him the boss's trusted confidant, but the day before he was due to take up his new post, he transmigrated into a book.
He landed in a collection of melodramatic novels his boss's daughter liked to read. His role was the father of two sons.
Each son had a plotline of his own.
Every day, he had to watch melodramatic drama unfold at home.
Zhou Mu gazed at the sky, feeling exhausted.
All he wanted was to be a bodyguard who didn't have to think too much, as long as he got paid every day. So he concealed his identity, went to a more prosperous city, and applied to be a young master's bodyguard in a wealthy household.
The good news: He got the job, and his employer's family was rich.
The bad news: His employer had a terrible temper and was incredibly difficult.
Still, compared to the chaos at home, Zhou Mu could put up with it and dutifully did his job as a bodyguard.
Xi Yan was beautiful, selfish, and malicious. He had the strongest pheromones in the empire. His requirements for a partner were that they had to be strong enough to fight and able to resist his pheromones. Most importantly, they had to be good-looking enough to suit his taste.
Everyone knew Xi Yan's requirements for a partner and thought he was dreaming. It was a peaceful era, after all. What omega spent all day fighting?
A new bodyguard arrived at Xi Yan's villa.
Xi Yan discovered that the bodyguard could fight and wasn't affected by his pheromones at all. The only problem was that he wasn't good-looking.
Did the housekeeper not screen applicants for their looks?
Later, Xi Yan discovered that this bodyguard had the audacity to seduce him. His private life was downright indecent. He even released his pheromones in broad daylight to lure Xi Yan in.
And how had this omega managed to pass himself off as a bodyguard?
Zhou Mu was doing pretty well as a bodyguard. The pay was great, the work was easy, and the benefits were good. The only thing that gave him a headache was that the young master kept glaring at him and telling him to rein in his pheromones and stop dreaming of a toad eating swan meat.
Zhou Mu thought it wasn't good to keep things so strained with his employer.
So one day, when the young master was drugged, he helped him out with his hands. Zhou Mu was straight-minded and didn't take the matter to heart.
After this friendly act of assistance, the young master treated him much better, and his work as a bodyguard went more smoothly.
But then the young master started asking him a new question: when was his heat?
Fed up with the questions, Zhou Mu quit and took a bodyguard job elsewhere.
Who could have guessed that the young master would show up at his door?
Eyes red, he demanded that Zhou Mu take responsibility.
Damn it, there were a lot of people there to witness it, and the next day the papers were full of the story.
Shocking! The Empire's Star has been dumped!
Character setup: A cool, dark-skinned bodyguard bottom × a fussy, narcissistic, sharp-tongued Alpha top.
The bottom transmigrates in person. He's an ordinary person, with no heat and no pheromones.
The two sons are stepchildren. The bottom is 28, the top is 22. Beautiful top, younger man.
(A wicked kink: no one can mark him.)
