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.

Cute, give me some

In a Chinese and foreign competition, Team S had fought their way out. This time, they were the champions. Whether it was the audience in the stadium or the audience outside the stadium, everyone was cheering. The next second, the MVP's face appeared on the big screen. The man held the trophy and tilted his head slightly to the microphone in the host's hand. His eyes were fixed on the camera, and his magnetic voice echoed throughout the audience. “The winner is king。” The winner was king. We are the winners, and China is the king. * One night, Shen Qi called Memorial. "Hello? Commemoration." The other side was silent for a while. Shen Qi was about to continue with a memorial when he spoke. "How much?" Shen Qi: "???" How much? "What are you talking about?" Shen Qi frowned and asked. "So you're not here to borrow money." Memorial took a deep breath as if it was important. "Why did you say that I came to borrow money?" Shen Qi asked. Shen Qi heard the door close on the other end of the phone. Then, he answered," Usually, when people who haven't contacted you for a long time suddenly call, 90% of them are here to borrow money." Shen Qi was speechless.
