The Age of High Martial Arts.

Lin Yuan, humanity’s greatest battle god, falls in a desperate fight against a demon god at the Great Wall of Stars.

When he opens his eyes again, he has returned to his high school days.

That year, he is still a poor kid who sets up a late-night barbecue stall because his family has no money.

And the girl at his stall, dressed in a school uniform washed pale with wear and carefully gathering other people’s leftover skewers to exchange for money, is none other than the Frost Empress Su Qianxue. In his previous life, she took a fatal blow meant for him and died horribly beneath a demon god’s claws.

She is not yet the valiant goddess of war who will one day shake the world. For now, she is simply a cool, aloof school beauty, thrown out by her stepmother and struggling to survive in this cold city.

Seeing her little hands red from the cold and her gaze so stubborn, Lin Yuan feels his heart twist in agony.

“In my last life, you helped me become a god. This time, I’ll cherish you with all my heart!”

“Boss, could I trade these skewers... for two steamed buns?”

Su Qianxue lowers her head, her voice as faint as a mosquito’s buzz. She is bracing herself to be sent away.

Instead, Lin Yuan holds the most expensive grilled Wagyu up to her lips, his eyes so tender they seem to brim with affection.

“The skewers aren’t worth much, but I’m looking for a boss’s wife. The job comes with food and lodging, and I’ll even pay you on top of that. What do you say?”

Later, when an S-rank beast tide descends and the city is on the brink of falling, Lin Yuan suppresses the Beast Emperor with one hand. As everyone watches in despair, he turns to the girl gazing at him with adoration.

“Qianxue, this time, I’ll take you to the highest point of the Great Wall of Stars to enjoy the view.”
