The Promotion Journal of a Laid-Back Shadow Guard

Scheming, sweet-talking top x carefree, brash secret guard bottom Chu Shi transmigrated twenty years ago and is now a secret guard in a prince's residence. His daily work consists of sitting in trees daydreaming and watching other people drink and make merry. He works alternating day and night shifts, and the job is easy (except for the occasional field assignment to kill someone). His hobby is saving up to buy his freedom. Chu Shi recently got a boyfriend. His boyfriend was a scholar who had come to the capital to sit the imperial examinations. He was refined and handsome, bright as a clear pearl, and strikingly elegant. He was the most, most beautiful person Chu Shi had ever seen. Chu Shi was completely smitten with him. When he learned his boyfriend was short on money, he took the initiative to rent him a private courtyard. He cooked for him and went over as soon as his shift ended each day. Worried about distracting him from his studies, Chu Shi even kept their daily cuddling to a strict minimum. Chu Shi firmly believed that with his boyfriend's talent and knowledge, he would surely pass the exams with flying colors. Yet when the results were posted, his boyfriend's name was nowhere on the list. At the time, rumors were spreading through the capital that the spring examinations had been tainted by corruption and fraud. Furious, Chu Shi went straight to the residence of the chief examiner, the Minister of Rites, in the middle of the night, his face covered: He wanted to see who had dared to sabotage his precious boyfriend's future! Under the glow of the colored-glass lamps, several high-ranking officials knelt trembling below. And his boyfriend, normally so bookish and delicate he seemed unable to care for himself, sat calmly in the seat of honor, dressed in a black robe embroidered with a dark golden dragon. The dim light swept across his profile, and his handsome face radiated the authority of a man who controlled life and death and would brook no objection. It turned out he wasn't a poor scholar who had come to the capital to take the exams at all. He was the crown prince. On the way back to the prince's residence, Chu Shi was dazed. He didn't know whether he should keep pretending not to know and continue dating the crown prince, or boldly dump the heir to the empire. The next day, when his boyfriend asked with concern why he hadn't come over the previous night and whether he was sick, Chu Shi jolted and instinctively chose to play dumb. -- After fifteen years at the prince's residence, Chu Shi had saved enough money to buy his freedom. At last, he could be a free man. The day he left the capital, he didn't tell anyone, not even his boyfriend. At dawn, dressed in plain clothes, Chu Shi rode out of the city. He had barely passed through the gates when a troop of black-armored cavalry appeared soundlessly on the road ahead, like ghosts. The man at their head wore black robes and a dark crown, sitting atop a magnificent steed. His lips curved slightly, like warm jade glowing in the sunlight. He spoke, his voice as gentle as a spring breeze: "Where are you going, big brother? Leaving without a word... don't tell me you're abandoning your little brother Lin?" A former scholar who is now a physically powerful secret guard bottom x a sweet-talking, scheming crown prince top Writing a gorgeous, powerful couple. Coming soon: I Can Hear Plants' Thoughts Jiang Yu, a humble agricultural university student, died from overwork after pulling an all-nighter revising his thesis and transmigrated to the future. This was a polluted world, where the environment had changed dramatically and food was scarce. Humanity was divided into ordinary people and ability users, who had to fight mutated plants and animals to the death every day to obtain resources. When he arrived, he was trapped deep in a wasteland forest with an expedition team. Mutated vines whipped around like iron chains, binding them tightly. Barbs pierced their clothes, and they were about to be strangled or stabbed to death. On the brink of death, Jiang Yu heard a voice: "Damn humans! That's what you get for freezing my butt! Don't you know we hate the cold most of all?! I'll strangle you all! I'll strangle you!" Mustering his last ounce of strength, Jiang Yu yelled, "Captain, move your weapon away from the vine's tuber!" The captain hesitated, but did as he asked. The vine slowly loosened its grip on them. The captain: !!! Jiang Yu was then identified as a plant-type ability user. But while other people had combat abilities like controlling and manipulating things, his only power was understanding what plants were thinking. A plant said, "This bug has been bothering me for ages. Give me a scratch!" Fighting his fear, Jiang Yu reached out and brushed away the fist-sized bug, covered in mouthparts, from beneath a leaf, then scratched the plant. The plant said, "Ah, that's better~ Kid, here's a fruit as a reward. Come again next time~" The plant produced a red fruit that could not only restore stamina, but also replenish mental energy. Research Institute: A whole new world has been discovered! -- And so Jiang Yu diligently became an agricultural university student all over again in another world. Every day, he watered plants with a special alkaline nutrient solution, removed pests, bathed them, helped them find partners, and soothed them through sensitive pregnancies... He didn't just do all the work himself, either. He kept records, and paper after paper made its way to top academic journals at major bases. Jiang Yu wept with joy: "Professor, I got your work published in the journals you never managed to reach!" Bringing the spirit of agricultural university students to another world. The love interest is the captain from the beginning, but romance takes a back seat. Farming is the main focus. Theme: Everyone is one of a kind.
