Lu Mingfei has no idea that someone in this world is willing to go through fire and water for him.
Gao Nian'an also has no idea why he would risk everything for this hapless kid.
He's just a transmigrator, a "tool" with the script in hand.
The System gives him missions, rewards, and a million yuan.
He thinks he's just acting, but somewhere along the way, he gets caught up in the role.
Nono says, "Once you get to Cassell, you're under my protection."
Fingel says, "You're the unluckiest junior I've ever met, but I've accepted you."
Chu Zihang says, "If you ever have nowhere else to go, come to me."
And Gao Nian'an says nothing at all.
He simply stands where Lu Mingfei can't see him, shielding him from every attack, open and hidden.
This is not a story about slaying dragons.
It's a story about having someone at your back.
