The Reincarnated Armed Escort

For years, he was the agency’s most devoted soul—a porter who bore heavier burdens than any armed escort, yet was forever denied the right to bear a blade. His crippled leg, a constant reminder of a past injury, had relegated him to the shadows of the Heavenly Dragon Escort Agency, where his unwavering loyalty and quiet determination were acknowledged but never rewarded. He watched from the sidelines as others realized the dream he held so dear, his spirit slowly withering under the weight of unfulfilled ambition. All of that changed in a single, violent moment. When bandits descended upon a priceless treasure under his watch, the old porter did not hesitate. He gave his life to protect what was entrusted to him, a final act of defiance against a fate that had always held him back. But death was not the end. He opened his eyes to find himself reborn as Li Zhenglong—a notorious young master who had perished thirty years prior. Now inhabiting the body of the fourth young master of the very agency that once overlooked him, he is given a second chance to walk the path of an armed escort. Yet his new life is fraught with peril. The name "Li Zhenglong" comes attached to a legacy of hedonism, cruelty, and disgrace. The body he now commands is known to all, and its terrible reputation precedes him at every turn. As he struggles to prove his worth and rise from the ashes of his predecessor's infamy, he must ask himself: can he finally achieve his lifelong dream, or will the sins of Li Zhenglong's past doom him before he even has the chance to draw his sword?
