After working late on a manuscript, novelist Lin Qingyu discovers that she has been bound to a System for protecting loyal officials. From then on, she gains the ability to transmigrate between past and present.
She also has to protect a loyal official’s entire family, or she’ll lose her life.
When the Ji family is sentenced to confiscation of their estate and exile, they are surrounded on the road by a treacherous official and imperial guards, facing imminent annihilation. Lin Qingyu’s protection descends like a miracle, saving the entire Ji family in the nick of time.
It saves her own life, too.
The Ji family has suffered a terrible disaster.
Ji Huaiche begs his benefactor for help. “Please, Miss Lin, save us. I’ll remember your kindness forever!”
Forced to protect the entire Ji family, Lin Qingyu endures the System’s painful punishment as she quickly agrees. “All right!”
Ji Huaiche makes another request. “Please give us some food, Miss Lin.”
Lin Qingyu says, “Sure!”
Ji Huaiche makes yet another request. “Please agree to let me give myself to you.”
Out of habit, Lin Qingyu says, “Sure… Wait!”
