Synopsis
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.

All of my chapters are written and proofread directly by me for many years. The only automated tool that I have used is the basic spellchecker that comes standard with the Google Docs application. I have not changed my approach towards writing chapters for The Mech Touch even as technology has advanced and introduced new tools. I will continue to maintain my current approach for this webnovel until it has come to an end.

She recommended " The Two-week Female Empress: Something's Wrong with the Plot!" It was a light novel written by Strawberry. It was a fantasy novel. Li Yunsheng transmigrated into the book he wrote and became the assistant. He awakened the emotional system and triggered the empress's emotional fluctuations to receive the reward. The empress wanted to take back everything. She held the script in her hand and waited for Li Yunsheng to finish the story, but she realized that the plot was wrong. There were male lead Li Yunsheng and female lead Jiang Qingying. Impression score: 75, with the label of palace strife.
