[A seemingly obedient, aloof, scheming Sentinel vs. a charming Guide who seems warm but is cold at heart and has his reasons]
Thirty years ago by the Star Calendar, the Shockwave Incident caused humanity to divide into Sentinels and Guides. With the galaxy's resources depleted, an investigation was relaunched to find a way forward. Xing Kuang, a Dark Sentinel whose mental domain no one could ever enter, was unexpectedly soothed by a strange Guide. Shi Xiao, the galaxy's top Guide, who never showed his face, made a huge splash in the selection trials so he could join the investigation team.
Shi Xiao, the all-purpose Guide everyone lined up to court, always proclaimed to the world: Don't get in the way of my career!
Then he turned around and asked Xing Kuang, “Want to form a mental bond with me? It's for your own good, and for the future of the stars. I have no ulterior motives.”
Xing Kuang politely declined. “How could you have no ulterior motives? I refuse to believe I can't cure your habit of flirting with everyone.”

Xing Kuang pinned him down with his mental power and asked, “You saved me five years ago. Why won't you admit it? And now you're sneaking off without a word. Are you trying to dodge responsibility?”
Shi Xiao: “Who? You've got the wrong person.”

The strongest fighters in the galaxy team up to put on a show of “we're together, but let's pretend we barely know each other.”
Xing Kuang asked coldly, “Didn't realize you were into secret relationships.”
Shi Xiao's mental domain trembled. “Let me explain!”
I really like it. It's a very interesting book. Neither of them are perfect people. One doesn't care about life and death, and the other is trapped in the doubts and nightmares of various high-level officials. The emotional descriptions are gradual and real. They are very real and unobtrusive. The things they do are completely in line with the personality characteristics of the two people. In the early stage, I felt that Shi Xiao was a bit avoidant. Later, when the past events emerged, I felt very distressed. In the end, I finally understood why he was pretending to be good. In fact, Xing Kuang should also be a little crazy in his heart. But more probably it is indifference, the kind of indifference that doesn't matter, not afraid of death, not afraid of living. I used to think that I needed the freedom to die at any time, but when it was finally revealed, I discovered that freedom is a rare luxury. People are always trapped by something, whether it is emotion or responsibility, or more directly, some people don't want you to die, some people won't let you die. I'm lying to you. Actually, I'm still upset. Our investigation team 😢😢😢 Nina Yu Zheyang It was very painful at that time. It was also very painful because I couldn't save people. It hurt me too.
