Description
She was a secret guard, codenamed 37, later named Qingge by Ning Wang. One day, she narrowly escaped death and was sent out to recover from her injuries. On the way, someone approached her, claiming she resembled the young lady he served. The young lady was suffering from a chronic illness, and he asked her to take her place in the wedding, hiding the truth from the groom for five months. The man offered her a generous sum of silver notes, and Qingge, being greedy, accepted. But what she never expected was that the fiancée’s groom turned out to be none other than her master, Ning Wang… Fortunately, no one knew the face of the secret guards, except for Heaven, Earth, and their Pavilion Master. Ning Wang had no idea. Qingge successfully hid her identity and cautiously played the role of a Wangfei. Ning Wang was extraordinarily handsome but had a violent temper. One day, while investigating a traitor, he harshly interrogated all the secret guards. One of them ended up being punished for a trivial matter, receiving a hundred whip lashes, leaving the ground stained with blood. Ning Wang remained indifferent. The Emperor arranged a marriage for Ning Wang with the legitimate daughter of the presitigious Xiahou clan of Ganliang. The Wangfei was gentle, charming, and pure in nature. Initially, Ning Wang was indifferent and cautious but eventually fell for her. After ten months of pregnancy, the Wangfei gave birth to a son. When she returned after a visit to her natal family, Ning Wang gripped her by the throat and coldly demanded, “Where is this prince’s Wangfei?” Though the woman before him looked alike, she was not her. It was then that he realized the Wangfei he had shared his life with was a fake, brought in by the Xiahou family with money! In his fury, Ning Wang unleashed a bloodbath. Afterward, he searched everywhere for that woman, but despite turning the world upside down, he could not find her. Three years passed, and Ning Wang’s initial rage and hatred turned into silence and contemplation, eventually giving way to quiet coldness. Until one day, under the dim light of the waning moon, he gazed at the fallen phoenix tree leaves at his feet, covering the elongated shadow of the secret guard behind him. In a low voice, he asked, “It’s you, isn’t it?”

My Thoughts on His Secret Guard
"His Secret Guard" has been quite the ride, and while my feelings are a bit complex, I can definitely see why it's earned a solid 4.3/5 rating. It’s a blend of historical drama, romance, and political intrigue that kept me turning the pages, even when I wasn't entirely sure where the story was headed.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the promise of secret identities and the dynamic between the leads. The early chapters felt like a classic historical romance, with some fun face-slapping moments thrown in. I was hooked by the idea of the ML falling for the FL without realizing she's his subordinate. However, I quickly realized that this novel is more than meets the eye, with a darker undercurrent that gradually surfaces.
What Works Well
The character development is a major strength. The FL, Qingge, is a compelling protagonist. She's cunning, resourceful, and far from a damsel in distress. Her backstory as a former slave fighting for survival adds depth to her actions, even when she seems ruthless. I also appreciated the ML's growth throughout the story. He starts as an arrogant prince but evolves into someone who truly respects and supports the FL, even after facing betrayal.
The plot is intricate and full of twists. Just when I thought I had things figured out, the author threw in another curveball. The political intrigue, family conflicts, and the underlying threat of the Yellow Sect rebels kept the stakes high. The side characters were also well-developed, each with their own motivations and backstories. Even the antagonists felt nuanced, making the story more engaging.
Areas of Concern
I will say that the FL's ruthlessness can be off-putting at times. While I understand her motivations, some of her actions felt a bit extreme, particularly concerning her revenge. The novel's tone also shifts dramatically, which might not appeal to all readers. The lighthearted romance of the early chapters gives way to angst, separation, and a darker exploration of power dynamics.

Final Verdict
Overall, "His Secret Guard" is a well-written and engaging novel with complex characters and a compelling plot. While the tonal shifts and certain character choices might not be for everyone, I appreciate the author's willingness to explore darker themes and challenge traditional romance tropes. If you're looking for a historical drama with plenty of twists, political intrigue, and character development, this is definitely worth a read.
