She Is a Shadow Guard [GB]

[The only officially licensed edition on Jinjiang] Taciturn Shadow Guard X Arrogant, Obsessive Heir Xi Jiu was a shadow guard. She was the sharpest blade in Pei Zhixing's hand. She always followed silently behind Pei Zhixing, keeping him safe. Xi Jiu never disobeyed his orders. Anyone Pei Zhixing wanted dead, Xi Jiu would eliminate for him. Xi Jiu said, “This is simply a shadow guard's duty.” Was kissing her master and pinning him beneath her also part of a shadow guard's duty? Xi Jiu pressed her lips together, saying nothing. . Pei Zhixing thought that no matter what Xi Jiu felt for him, she would always stay by his side. But when the tides turned, his most loyal shadow guard turned out to be the deeply concealed spy lurking beside him. “Let us go, or I'll kill him.” Xi Jiu held her blade against Pei Zhixing's pale neck. Her gaze was cold, devoid of even the slightest trace of affection. The blood in Pei Zhixing's veins turned to ice. “You want to kill me?” . But Pei Zhixing survived, while Xi Jiu died. He heard she had perished alongside the enemy, plunging from Wangduan Cliff. Pei Zhixing gave a cold laugh and gritted out, “Dead? She hadn't even finished what she had to say. How dare she die!” Yet his tears fell uncontrollably. . Five years later, Pei Zhixing had risen to the heights of power. But he was truly on the verge of madness. He had grown emaciated and skeletal, nothing like the pampered young master he had once been. He hated Xi Jiu with all his heart. He would go to the underworld himself and demand answers. Why? Why had she tried to kill him? Why didn't she love him? Just as he was about to take his own life, Xi Jiu appeared from above and dragged him out of the flames. She had forgotten him.
