Ordinary high school student Li Riping was poor and introverted, and could only quietly watch over his beloved school beauty, Wu Wenjun, from afar. His pathetic devotion earned him the schoolwide nickname “simp.” Then, by chance, he binds to the True-Hearted Guardian System, and his life is completely turned around.
With the System’s help, he unlocks skills one after another, including enhanced physical abilities, expert combat skills, and business savvy. Li Riping is no longer a coward. He steps up when danger strikes, driving off the thugs harassing Wu Wenjun, clearing her name after she is falsely accused of cheating, and even risking his life to save someone from drowning during a picnic in the countryside. His actions shatter every prejudice against him. He refuses to blindly pander to anyone and stays true to himself, winning not only Wu Wenjun’s affection but also the respect of students and teachers alike. He goes from being invisible to becoming a campus celebrity.
As he completes more protection missions, Li Riping builds up his wealth and lays the foundations of a business empire. He also unexpectedly discovers the worlds of ancient martial arts and the supernatural. Facing the harassment of urban rich brats, the suppression of criminal forces, and the covetous eyes of ancient martial arts sects, he relies on the System’s rewards and his own growth to break through his limits, step by step. He leaves the campus for the city, and leaves ordinary life behind to enter the supernatural world.
In business, he plans with precision and turns the tables against the odds, building an empire of his own. On the path to transcendence, he battles powerful foes and explores secret realms, making a name for himself in the ancient martial arts world. Throughout it all, he never wavers from his original desire to protect Wu Wenjun. From standing by each other on campus to facing crises together, their mutual devotion becomes their strongest support.
This is a legendary rise from the bottom to the top, and an extraordinary journey that begins with protection and ends in deep devotion.
