Also known as: His Majesty Kept Vigil for Me for Sixty Years
In his previous life, the imperial bodyguard Shen Jinzhu died taking a blade meant for the emperor.
An imperial bodyguard taking a blade for his sovereign. It sounds like a noble way to die.
But having a blade plunged into your stomach, watching your guts spill out, sweating from the pain as you wait to die...
It's agonizing.
Worse still, after he died and became a ghost,
he watched His Majesty spend every day facing an unmarked memorial tablet,
eating, sleeping, and reading memorials. He was only one step away from carrying it into the Hall of Great Brilliance.
His Majesty lived into his eighties, then died alone, without ever taking an empress or having any princes.
That made Shen Jinzhu even more miserable.
He wondered if there was a way to make His Majesty happier.
Otherwise, wouldn't he have died for nothing?
With that thought, he was reborn.
At the same moment as before, an assassin's blade flashed toward the emperor like a bolt of lightning.
This time, Shen Jinzhu raised his long leg, ready to kick the blade away. Only an idiot would use his body to block it!
But before he could move, he found himself in a broad, sturdy embrace.
The familiar scent of dragon's breath incense was just as wonderful as ever!
His Majesty's voice trembled. "Behave yourself."
Shen Jinzhu: handsome, strong, unmatched in martial arts, cold but secretly a little rabbit
vs.
Mu Jing: gentle, devious, an emperor but also a jealous husband
Reading guide:
Both are reborn. A sweet romance, mutual secret crushes, neither of them knew it in their past lives.
