Synopsis :
Translator's Sypnosis:
When an S-class elite, assassin-raised captain of a special ops suicide squad comes home from a high-stakes Africa mission, he finds himself offered something that could potentially set him up for life- a curious assignment that he could use to finally exit his days of war and slaughter.
Then placed into a high-school setting, Lin Yi is tasked by the chairman of a top-tier multi-billion company with bodyguard duty for non-other than his own daughter, a certain little Miss of said high-school.
His enemies, once ranging from drug lords, mafia bosses, political figures, and national leaders, are soon replaced with spoiled kids who happen to have rich papas and mamas, and Lin Yi finds his intense expertise and high-threat skillset misused and very underwhelmed...
But he does get a harem cast as diverse as his old enemies, so Lin Yi decides that, for the sake of messing around with girls as an invincible entity in a down-leveled environment, leaving his bloody and death-filled war days behind is something he'd definitely want to strive for.
Original Synopsis:
An assassin of legend returns to the cities, fueled with a new calling and a higher purpose- to hit on girls and protect the school beauty!
"I'm her bodyguard, so don't get too close... I wouldn't want the Miss getting jealous again."
Please Note:
It starts off a bit slow, but it's a nice different read- the beauty and the bodyguard don't meet until a couple of chapters in, so keep that in mind! It starts picking up at like chapter eleven and gets really good starting around chapter twenty, I promise. Alhough, if you're looking for Xianxia stuff that's not gonna happen anytime soon... It's mentioned at chapter twelve but you'll need to get to somewhere around the hundred chapter mark for that aspect to start coming into focus.
Enjoy :D

POSITIVE REVIEW :
One of the best action urban romance novel, read the raws up to 2000 chapters so far.
Spoiler
I like how the MC is trying to be loyal to his girlfriend (though we dont know for how long lol), even though there are plenty other woman likes and tries to tempt him (albeit they are not aggressive in their approach). Also his harem members is diverse with unique and likeable personalities.
Another thing I like is that if you have read the authors other novel, they are actually quite similar in terms of how the story flows and character designs, and they have some connections with each other.
The story is not unique with twist and turns, but each chapter is entertaining because of how it's laid out properly with a balanced formulaic design. The story is very lighthearted and relaxed, you can pick it up and down anytime.
The novel is also satisfying especially when the MC amazes everyone with his amazing skills in fighting, medicine, or wealth. Also even with his amazing sets of skills, he's actually modest and prefers a low key life which is admirable.
Finally, unlike other novel with the same genre, the MC is not trying to build a thug life on the background which can get draggy and uninteresting, he's dedicated in being a bodyguard and improving his cultivation to get stronger.

NEGATIVE REVIEW :
First thing first this review is gonna be long, so be prepared. Now, I made an account just to give this novel a rating. So the problems with this novel are so numerous that I am amazed that the author was not able to find these out or maybe the author is just that lazy. Lets start.
I have read this novel upto 6400 chaps, so believe me when I say this that there is no end in sight for this novel. I mean even after 6500+ chaps we have not yet reached the main plot of the novel. Amazing right??? I don't have a problem with lengthy novels, actually I quite like them but they should be done skillfully. Reading this novel you can be sure that author is simply writing for the heck of it, not for story progression uh-huh. Like
Spoiler
The major plot of the story is that the family of Protag is actually a great family and is in fight with an organization. This organization is now also in mortal world and there is constant friction between Protag and This organization. Now after 6500 chaps we still don't know where the family of Protag or why are they even fighting. So it will be a loooooong looooong time before we can see any advance in that direction.
Then there is the whole issue with character of Protag. I mean he is introduced as killer "retired", but when someone tries to kill or rape the girls of this harem he cannot even kill them. Reason, well the Protag doesn't want to willy-nilly kill people. ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME? And its's not because these people have strong bodyguards or something, no, our hero is so noble that he will spare them. And here's the kicker
Spoiler
Protag says that if it is about the safety of someone close to him than he will easily kill the threat, but not once not twice but more or less HALF of the people he knows have been in the crossfire, but what does he do? NOTHING? Hell, even more people have tried to kill him but he let them live because they are "INSIGNIFICANT" in his own words. And the fun part is even though they are shown as trash they actually become as strong as our Hero, even with all of his cheats and then they try to kill him. All of this could have been avoided if Protag would have killed them the first chance they tried to kill him, But it is a favorite device of our author to keep them alive so that they can remain a constant threat and nuisance to our Protag and repeatedly clash with him. After all who has time to invent new characters.
Then there is the thing about girls. I mean I can understand 5 girls in harem even 10 is barely tolerable, but no, author wants that every beautiful girl must fall in love with our Hero, and frankly speaking after a while their personalities tend to overlap together. But even this is not the main issue. I mean lets be honest, no. Of girls in a harem in a Chinese novel tends to be exaggerated, the main issue lies with their personalities.
Spoiler
Like, In later chapters, very very later, when our hero leaves the mortal realm, he meets new girls, On of the first girl he met is, lets say princess, now she is shown as a genius but she doesn't practice so she is very weak. But the real kicker is that even when she is nearly raped, is kidnapped and nearly killed she still doesn't practice. She is just their to show how awesome Protag is. Its nor like she can't practice. She has great background and is talented but even after all this she is shown as to lazy to practice. C'mon what sort of Bulls**t is this?
There are many many many more points to add but these should suffice to prove how truly WONDERFUL this novel is. And I know many people will think that if it was so bad why did I read till this point? Well the answer is that I was truly hoping for this novel to get better. Novel is not all bad. Some points are really good but they are so overshadowed by bad points that is becomes a chore to read it. All in all, if someone really wants to read it then wait for some time and see whether this novel will be finished in coming YEARS, only then you should touch it.
