Ruan Li approached Shen Xu according to the mission. At first, she "teased" him by sending flowers and chatting about daily life, hoping to easily obtain information. However, she found that although Shen Xu was indifferent, he would silently note down her preferences, and even used his special powers to quietly solve the problem when she was harassed by gangsters. During the relationship, Ruan Li, through her ability of empathy, sensed the fragility and loneliness under Shen Xu's indifference, and gradually wavered, no longer just treating him as a "mission target." Shen Xu has never been treated so tenderly, and his possessiveness towards Ruan Li has become stronger. He will secretly follow her schedule and even warn the management agency to "not send her to contact me again." During an internal rebellion in "Shadow Weaver", Shen Xu was injured while protecting Ruan Li. Ruan Li's identity as an investigator was revealed. Although Shen Xu was angry at being "cheated", he did not hurt her. Instead, he paranoidly confessed: "Even if you are here to harm me, you can only stay by my side." Ruan Li was caught in a dilemma, between her responsibilities and her love for Shen Xu. She finally decided to help Shen Xu resolve the conflict with the Administration and at the same time heal his childhood trauma. The two got closer in "mutual testing and mutual redemption".
