beauty is in the eye of the beholder short story

Beauty and The Bodyguard

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.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I sure as heck don't like the mc, but hey, thousand of others seems to enjoy it. Still worth more than 4 stars compared to some other fast-food novels. Not sure if giving it a lower rating just because I hate the mc would be justified so I'll leave it as is.

There is much beauty to behold in what one would call ordinary. The behold defines their beauty and adds value to it. it's an evolution from plain, to ordinary to stunning. I am both the beholder and the ordinary. This is the kind of thinking this comic provoked.

The protagonist always thinks I'm dead set on him

" Black narcissistic white lotus vs. Zuan Pancake King " Before Qiu Jingmo, he was a " good person " who sold sesame seed cakes. He had been scolded by everyone within a hundred miles. After he transmigrated into the book, his words were restricted by the system. He could only say " sweet words " to the main character of the stallion novel, Jing Yuan. Qiu Jingmo: "You have insomnia, I have insomnia. We will sleep together sooner or later." " A gentle breeze blows. I like you so much." "Don't complain. Hug me." "You are allowed to set fire, but you are not allowed to leave me." "He who is close to vermilion is red, and he who is close to you is sweet." ...... Jing Yuan was speechless. Qiu Jingmo, who had deactivated the system, looked like this: "I love you more than anyone else in the world." "This is the first time I've heard someone call me a dog." "As long as you promise not to go out, I'll do whatever you want." "Be my son. I want to be your father." "Who are you trying to seduce in this outfit?" Jing Yuan asked. "Old Wang next door." "You don't love me anymore?" Jing Yuanxue, who had been greatly shocked, turned black and became a peerless white lotus.

" You need a fingerprint to unlock it. Use my finger." the kidnapper explained. "Why are you using your fingers? Cut it down?" Su Su asked again. "No! You don't have to chop it, I can still use it!" The kidnapper wailed. Chop off his fingers! What was wrong with her brain? It was too terrifying!
