The Female Shadow Guard

Dian Yu transmigrated into the body of a covert guard. Cautiously slacking off in this high-risk job, she hoped to keep her head down until the day she could retire in peace.

Perhaps she was simply too good at staying alive. On the journey when Young Master Luan Yi was sent to another state as a hostage, she became the only death warrior left alive to the very end.

"You abandoned me? You dare betray me? Who bought you off?" Luan Yi cried, shocked and furious.

Now was the time to leave, so Dian Yu rolled her eyes and snapped, "I've had enough of that haughty, arrogant attitude of yours. And with a temper like that, do you think there's even a single thing about you people could like?"

"I've wanted to tell you this for ages: I'm quitting. I'm done. Got it?" Saying it made all her pent-up frustration melt away, leaving her feeling wonderfully refreshed.

But the more satisfying it was to say, the more painful the face-slapping would be. In the end, she was forced to keep surviving in that job.

When Young Master Yi returned from his time as a hostage and ascended the throne, he issued two decrees: one to welcome Miss Jiang as his queen, and another to appoint a maid at his side as a secondary consort.

The first was exactly what everyone had expected, but the second stirred up a great deal of speculation. Many said the king must be rewarding the maid for her loyal devotion to him in the enemy state.

"I know you're proud and unwilling to be beneath anyone. From now on, you'll be my secondary consort, no longer a servant. Will that finally put your mind at ease?"

The newly appointed secondary consort stepped on the decree and stabbed the king.

She gave a mocking laugh. "A secondary consort? Whoever takes that title is a dog."

She had thought they were soulmates, only for him to turn around and marry his first love. All she could do was cry out, "What rotten luck."

"I don't need your damn reward. I only want the payment you promised." She gave him a sidelong glance. "What is it, Young Master Yi? Can't afford to pay, so you're trying to wriggle out of it by giving me the title of secondary consort?"
