Summary
Highlights
Chu Ge finds himself in a new body, compelled by a system to be a villain, but is forced to interview as a bodyguard. He lacks experience and a certificate, but the system offers him choices to gain skills. His first mission involves forcibly kissing Liu Yanru, the CEO and stepmother of the male lead, which earns him the 'All-round Bodyguard' skill.
Liu Yanru hires Chu Ge as her personal bodyguard for three million dollars a year, revealing that her stepchildren, Ye Yao and Ye Feng, believe she murdered their father for inheritance. They attempt to assassinate her, but Chu Ge thwarts the attack, learning that Ye Feng is behind it. This further solidifies his role as her protector.
Ye Feng, with Zhao Lingyun (son of a powerful family), attempts to take over Liu Yanru's company and frames Chu Ge. Chu Ge exposes Zhao Lingyun's past misdeeds and manipulates events to cause a public scandal, leading to Zhao Lingyun's downfall and Liu Yanru regaining control of her company. He also tricks Ye Feng into attacking Zhao Lingyun, leading to Zhao's death and Ye Feng being hunted.
Chu Ge encounters Chen Mang, a 'miracle doctor' and a new protagonist who seeks to control him. Chen Mang orchestrates an epidemic and monopolizes the antidote, aiming to destabilize the city's leadership. Chu Ge, using his system-acquired 'Poison Doctor's Mastery' and 'Top Business Talent' skills, counters Chen Mang's schemes, saving many and establishing his own business ventures.
Chu Ge attends Mrs. Qian's birthday banquet with Liu Yanru. He uses a jade bracelet to expose Chen Mang's incorrect medical diagnosis of Mrs. Qian, demonstrating his superior healing abilities and leading to Chen Mang's disgrace. This gains him the patronage of Mrs. Qian and a significant stake in her hotel business.
At the hotel staff party, Chu Ge asserts his newfound authority, firing those who previously ridiculed him. He then intervenes in Feng Linlin's forced marriage to Zhang Fan, using his system to manipulate rewards and expose Zhang Fan's true character, ultimately winning Feng Linlin's respect and love. Simultaneously, the Dragon King Xiao Chuan's wife, Qian Anan, confronts Chu Ge about her husband's infidelity, pushing her towards divorce.
At the War God's investiture banquet, Xiao Chuan expects to be crowned. However, Chu Ge uses his system administrator privileges to alter Xiao Chuan's fate, leading to Chu Ge being declared the War God instead. Xiao Chuan's past achievements are attributed to Chu Ge, and he is stripped of his Dragon King title and exiled from Hai Cheng. Chu Ge assumes the role of the city's protector and hero.
Chu Ge celebrates the IPO of his new company, surrounded by the women whose lives he has impacted. Xiao Chuan, seeking revenge, attempts to kill Chu Ge but fails due to Chu Ge's 'invincible body' skill. Xiao Chuan dies, and Ye Yao is imprisoned. The women around Chu Ge, including Liu Yanru, Feng Linlin, and Qian Anan, express their affection, leaving him in a playful dilemma of who to choose. He fully embraces his new role as the male lead.
