### Premise
Lin Yi is an ordinary-looking student who is in fact a top-tier martial artist. In the drama's account, he obtained a secret manual as a boy, trained in the mountains for years, and carries a jade pendant that warns of impending danger. His guardian sends him to Songshan City (松山市) to protect Chu Mengyao, the daughter of a wealthy family and the most popular girl at Songshan University, on orders from her father. Lin Yi finds the pampered young lady difficult to deal with, but he cannot defy his elders, so he becomes her constant companion at school.[4](https://www.tvmao.com/drama/MGQtLyU%3D) • [8](https://www.cpophome.com/mr-bodyguard-li-chung-lin-cao-xiyue-xu-kaicheng/)
The plot mixes campus romance with action and the supernatural. In an early storyline, a bank robbery turns out to be a cover for a kidnapping attempt on Chu Mengyao; Lin Yi is wounded protecting her, subdues the kidnappers in their car, and deliberately lets them escape to draw out the person behind the plot.[5](https://www.baike.com/wikiid/6623008843320809818) Supporting characters include Chu Mengyao's friend Chen Yushu (陈雨舒, played by Xiang Yicheng), fellow student Situ Jiong (司徒煚, Xu Kaicheng), Han Bin (Wayne Huang), and Feng Xiaoxiao (Sunnee Yang).[2](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/17801/school-beautys-personal-bodyguard) • [4](https://www.tvmao.com/drama/MGQtLyU%3D) Villain roles include the gang boss Li Ciha (李呲花, Qin Yang) and the corporate rival Jin Gubang (金古邦, Shen Mengsheng), who conspire against Chu Mengyao's father.[1](https://bkso.baidu.com/item/%E6%A0%A1%E8%8A%B1%E7%9A%84%E8%B4%B4%E8%BA%AB%E9%AB%98%E6%89%8B/17718042?fromModule=lemma_inlink)
### Sequels and franchise
The first season's performance supported a multi-season run. Seasons two through four entered production together, with a groundbreaking event reported in March 2016.[10](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jMCFVKdPqQ) *School Beauty's Personal Bodyguard 2* premiered on August 1, 2016, keeping Li Chung Lin as Lin Yi while recasting the female lead, with the model Huang Yilin taking over as Chu Mengyao; the singer Jike Junyi performed the second season's theme song, "Mad Man Killer".[6](https://ent.ifeng.com/c/7e2DIwjJtc1) By the end of 2016 the adaptation had reached its fourth season.[11](https://mt.sohu.com/20161228/n477120545.shtml)
The franchise extended beyond live action. The mobile game *School Beauty's Personal Bodyguard 3D* launched in August 2015 and reached number 8 on the iOS paid-app chart on its first day; the iQIYI-operated game of the same name later shut down on January 4, 2018 for re-development.[12](https://news.17173.com/content/08242015/091204355.shtml) • [13](https://g.iqiyi.com/xiaohuatieshengaoshou/news/373069.html) A 2016 film adaptation, a manhua, and a web-page game are also listed among the property's adaptations.[7](https://baike.so.com/doc/673857-11493587.html) A 2026 report described the novel as having achieved a "grand slam" of adaptations across comics, web dramas, web films, and mobile games, and as a benchmark of the "school beauty" (校花流) genre of web fiction.[3](https://www.gamersky.com/news/202604/2132356.shtml)
## Production and release
iQIYI produced the drama with Taiwan's Comic Productions (可米), aiming for a youthful idol-drama look distinct from conventional television; screenwriting is credited to Qi Xilin (齐锡麟), Wang Yali (王雅丽), and the Comic creative-writing center, with later co-production credits listing Shixiang Culture (世像文化) and Woying Media (沃影传媒).[1](https://bkso.baidu.com/item/%E6%A0%A1%E8%8A%B1%E7%9A%84%E8%B4%B4%E8%BA%AB%E9%AB%98%E6%89%8B/17718042?fromModule=lemma_inlink) • [7](https://baike.so.com/doc/673857-11493587.html) The theme song was "Tieshen" (《贴身》) and the ending song "Wo Hao Jimo" (《我好寂寞》).[1](https://bkso.baidu.com/item/%E6%A0%A1%E8%8A%B1%E7%9A%84%E8%B4%B4%E8%BA%AB%E9%AB%98%E6%89%8B/17718042?fromModule=lemma_inlink)
The series went online on iQIYI at noon on August 10, 2015. It was the third iQIYI drama, after *The Lost Tomb* and *Psychological Crime*, to use the VIP early-access model in which paying members could watch the entire season at once while free users received one new episode per weekday at noon.[9](https://www.iqiyi.com/common/20150826/2d74639c8e7bb56d.html) Sources disagree on the episode length, listing 30, 35, 40, and 45 minutes.[2](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/17801/school-beautys-personal-bodyguard) • [1](https://bkso.baidu.com/item/%E6%A0%A1%E8%8A%B1%E7%9A%84%E8%B4%B4%E8%BA%AB%E9%AB%98%E6%89%8B/17718042?fromModule=lemma_inlink) • [8](https://www.cpophome.com/mr-bodyguard-li-chung-lin-cao-xiyue-xu-kaicheng/)
## Viewership
The drama was an early commercial success for iQIYI's self-produced content. In its first 12 hours it accumulated 13.8 million views and more than 100,000 likes; within five days its total online views passed 100 million, and the first season eventually exceeded 1.2 billion views on iQIYI alone.[5](https://www.baike.com/wikiid/6623008843320809818) • [6](https://ent.ifeng.com/c/7e2DIwjJtc1) A Phoenix Entertainment report described it as a hit IP drama that had been praised as a campus supernatural series that understood its young male audience.[6](https://ent.ifeng.com/c/7e2DIwjJtc1)
