The Little Guard Alpha Is Always Being Coveted

Shen Zhiyan became the top martial arts graduate at twenty, and her promotions came at an unbelievable pace. Yet she drifted through life like a rootless duckweed, adrift and unanchored.

Her childhood friend was spoiled and did whatever she pleased. After an abrupt confession, Shen Zhiyan tried desperately to avoid her, but in the end she couldn't escape.

Even so, she joined the Third Princess's faction to protect her childhood friend.

The Third Princess asked her to win the Imperial Preceptor over and sent her to serve as the preceptor's personal guard. There, Shen Zhiyan saw a side of the preceptor no one else knew. Xiao Jueran was exquisitely beautiful, her face cold as ice. At night, she revealed a vulnerable side that softened Shen Zhiyan's heart without her realizing it.

Their pheromones mingled, the red bed curtains billowed, and one mistake led to another.

When the Third Princess saw the marks on her body, she flew into a rage. Shen Zhiyan couldn't understand why she was so angry.

Her actions had wronged her childhood friend, but she had done nothing wrong to the Third Princess. It wasn't until the rich scent of jasmine wrapped around her that Shen Zhiyan suddenly realized the Third Princess was a Kunze.

"Perhaps we were wrong from the very beginning." The Third Princess, Li Chengyan, said in a pained, almost murmured voice.

Shen Zhiyan asked, "If you could truly start over, would you really not do this again?"

Li Chengyan fell silent.

I know whose side she is on, but I don't care. As long as she's by my side, one day she'll belong to me. - Imperial Preceptor Xiao Jueran

The Imperial Preceptor succeeded. She made Shen Zhiyan feel guilty toward her forever. That guilt became a chain, binding Shen Zhiyan to her for eternity. Just as she'd hoped, she watched Shen Zhiyan yield to her step by step, eyes filled with warmth.

A little more. A little more. Love me just a little more.
