This is Xu Huanyan's current life, dull and trivial, but with a rare sense of stability. No one would have thought that this man who cooked and took care of children in an orphanage on the outskirts of the city was once the captain of the Empire's most dazzling soldier, the Red Flame Special Forces. He held the highest level of combat authority, and his reputation once exceeded 9999. He was a hero sought after by countless people.
Until Operation Red Flame three years ago.
The smell of gunpowder that day seemed to still linger on the tip of his nose, and in the sky full of fire, there were the screams of civilians, the roars of his comrades, and the cold orders from senior officials... In the end, he was charged with "massacring civilians" and was forced to retire. His reputation value was cleared overnight, and he fell from the clouds into the quagmire. If he hadn't been taken in by the old dean, he might have died in the slums of District Seven.
After the old director left, he took over the orphanage. Most of the children here are orphans from the war, or were abandoned because their parents' reputation was too low. Like him, they are all people "selected" by this era. He no longer holds the sword, no longer kills, he just wants to use this insignificant tenderness to protect this small haven.
