Jiang Nan was born in a rural area near Dongcheng.
She is the fourth child in the family and has three older sisters.
Her parents were very eager to have a boy, so they named her Jiang Nan without thinking twice.
Maybe the name was really magical, and three years later she had a younger brother.
But there are too many children in the family, and the parents who make a living by farming cannot support so many children.
They give all the good things to their sons and don't care if their daughters starve to death.
When Jiang was hungry, she would go to the mountains to pick fruits. She was good at climbing trees and could run faster than the boys in the village.
Every time she climbed to the top of a tree and looked into the distance, she always wondered what it would be like there.
One day, a nobleman from Jiangnan came to their village and said he was looking for a woman.
The visitor was very generous, and within a few minutes all the women in the village were standing at the village gate.
In the end, Jiang was taken away alone by them because she was pretty.
Before leaving, he gave her parents a large sum of money.
She was eight years old at that time.
It was only when Jiang Nan was brought to Jiangnan that she found out that she was going to be a child bride to the young master of that aristocratic family.
She had to take care of his food and clothing during the day and sleep with him at night.
She didn't like the almost closed life in the house and would rather go back to the village and climb trees every day than this life.
While everyone was asleep at night, she climbed up a tree by the wall and jumped down, escaping from the yard.
After Jiang ran out, he didn't know where to go.
The mountains were the place she was most familiar with, so she had to hide in the mountains and barely survived for half a month.
The first time she went down the mountain, she was discovered by the family, who chased her and tried to tie her up.
In desperation, she hid in a car.
Sitting in the back seat of the car was a well-dressed man, about thirty years old, with a ring on his little finger.
He rescued her and brought her to East City.
She changed her name to the name given to her by that man, Jiang Manqing.
There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world.
She is placed in a mansion and plans to steal a gem.
The man said that the gem belonged to his beloved, but was stolen by someone in that house.
His men searched for a long time but could not find where they had put the gems.
He needs someone to infiltrate the inside and find out the information.
It took her eight years, but she finally found the gem.
Unexpectedly, it was hidden in the eyes of the porcelain lucky cat.
After giving the gem to the man, he said he could grant her one wish.
Jiang Manqing said she wanted to be a singer and needed a man to support her.
She remembered when she was very young she was sitting on the top of a big tree and heard singing in the distance.
That was her biggest support for eight years.
The man agreed readily and arranged everything before leaving.
Overnight, Jiang Manqing's name resounded throughout East City.
"Are you the new bodyguard?" Jiang Manqing sat on the sofa, spreading her fingers and applying red nail polish.
Chen Yu, dressed in a suit, nodded slightly, "Yes, Miss."
Jiang Manqing paused and looked at the man in front of her. "He looks good. How's he for fighting?"
"It used to be that one person against ten people was no problem."
Jiang Manqing became interested, put down the half-painted nail polish, and walked over to him.
The man was a head taller than her, with a crew cut, broad shoulders, and veins on his palms that revealed hidden strength.
She likes men like this.
"Is this true?" Jiang Manqing put a hand on his shoulder.
"Miss, you can give it a try."
Jiang Manqing's hand moved along the shoulder to the Adam's apple, and then down the neck little by little, touching several pieces of skin as hard as iron, and poked them a few times.
"How do you try?"
"It depends on what the lady means."
An obedient man, not bad.
Jiang Manqing stopped teasing the innocent man, picked up the nail polish on the table and sat on the sofa.
"Okay, there's no need to wait until tomorrow. You can start work early."
"Come on, paint my nails."
Chen Yu had a blank expression on his face. "Miss, I can't."
"You can learn if you don't know how to do it. Just knowing how to fight is not enough."
Chen Yu stood for a while, walked towards Jiang Manqing and took the nail polish from her hand.
The taste is very strong.
Jiang Manqing stretched out her palm in front of him, her eyes curved, "Come, let me test the flexibility and endurance of your fingers."
"Miss!" The man's ears turned red.
Jiang Manqing laughed even more happily. He thought that this cold and taciturn man didn't understand what she meant.
"Why, you understand what I mean, are there any women?"
"No."
When the war broke out, the two left Dongcheng and headed to Chen Yu's hometown in the southwest.
After spending half a year of peaceful life there, Chen Yu joined the anti-enemy team, and Jiang Manqing was waiting for him in the mountains.
More than ten years later, she finally got her own personal guard.
