Gu Xusheng, who had looked down on everyone in his previous life, is reborn before Wang Dawei ever sets foot in the Gu household.
Under the blazing sun at a construction site, a tall figure with a dust-covered face, carrying steel bars, catches his eye. He grips the car's leather seat so tightly his knuckles turn white. In his previous life, this bodyguard took seventeen bullets for him. Now the foreman is yelling at him for working too slowly.
I've finally found him!
“I want him,” President Gu says coldly to the personal assistant beside him. The temperature in the car drops another two degrees. “Contact Butler Wang. I want him at the Gu household in three days... No, by tomorrow, as my personal bodyguard.”
Wang Dawei thinks his new employer is crazy.
This man in a tailored suit is more refined and beautiful than any celebrity he's seen on TV. Yet he insists Wang iron his shirts half an hour early every day, and when Wang wipes the sweat from his face, he blushes and offers him a handkerchief. He claims to be a neat freak, but insists on curling up on the bed in Wang's own servants' room. Worst of all, he knocks on Wang's door in the middle of the night, his wet lashes beaded with tears and his eyes red as he says, “I had a nightmare. I can't sleep unless you stay with me.”
Then, one night, they're attacked. Gu Xusheng is pinned against a wall, a hand gripping his waist. Feeling the man's burning skin and taut muscles, he can't hold back any longer. He rises on tiptoe and bites the man's bobbing Adam's apple, rewarded with the first uncontrolled gasp he's ever heard from him.
Gu Xusheng leans close to the man's ear and says, “I've watched the footage of Captain Wang fighting nineteen men at the southwestern border seven hundred and thirty-eight times.”
Without either of them realizing it, Wang Dawei, a blade hidden in its sheath, has already cut through the walls Gu Xusheng built over two lifetimes.
“Mr. Gu, the first rule in the bodyguard handbook...”
“I'm your employer now.” Gu Xusheng loosens his tie and straddles the man's waist, his fingertips tracing his eight-pack. “The most important clause in your contract is that the employer's needs come first.”
This time, I'll be the one to chase you!
Wang Dawei, shirtless and full of questions, can't help wondering: Are needs like this included too?
In short, in his previous life Wang Dawei worked his way up from security guard to bodyguard at the Gu household, always diligent and with no time to find a wife. Just when he'd finally saved enough money to marry, he died in the line of duty. In his final moments, Gu Xusheng saw Wang Dawei fall to his death from a cliff and finally understood his feelings. He had loved him all along.
