Ensemble cast + sci-fi + superpowers + plot twists
In 2050, large-scale genetic evolution swept the globe, and humans began calling the mutated creatures “Others.”
Bai Xianglin, formerly known by the codename Sedna, escaped a killers' organization three years ago. She devoted herself to studying, changed her appearance, and became a first-rate scholar. Not only was she assigned a government post, she also got a chance to investigate her own past.
She never expected to encounter an attack by an Other on her very first day at work. After killing it with ease, she was stopped by a combat team tasked with handling Other-related affairs.
Bai Xianglin never expected that after meeting all these superpowered people, every one of them would be curious about her past. She clutches her secret identity and falls silent: ...
Even after her identity is exposed and she fakes her death to leave, these friends still want to find and help her. But first, they are determined to settle the score.
Bai Xianglin: I've noticed you superpowered people take everything so seriously. I only told a tiny little lie, and you just had to expose me?
The people she fooled: ... Fine, fine. Then don't stop us from saving the world with you.
