Xu Wan, an actress vilified across the internet, was sent to a special forces camp with a single contract.
Her instructor, Chu Lin, was a third-generation military man known as the Iron-Faced Yama. The moment he saw her, he warned her coldly: “There are only soldiers here, no celebrities. Fail, and you’re out.”
She cut off the long hair she’d grown to imitate others and shed the disguise she’d relied on to survive.
She crawled across gravel and rebuilt herself under strict discipline, all for the sake of hearing him say, “You pass.”
Everyone thought it was just a desperate attempt to clean up her image.
Until his old shoulder injury flared up and she found him wiping down his gun alone late at night. Until she received a message from him at the end of a shoot that had run until dawn: “Xu Wan, get some rest.”
Until she was caught up in the filthiest scandal of all, leaked compromising photos. He took her hand and said, “Eliminate threats and protect those who need protecting. That’s my mission.”
They thought she was the one who had crossed into forbidden territory.
They didn’t know he had already carved her name into his own glory.
