Lin Ye never imagined that a baseless accusation would bring him to the brink of expulsion.
In the halls of Haicheng No. 1 High School, rich kid Zhou Xiao humiliates him in front of everyone: “A poor kid like you should get lost and deliver takeout.” The dean, Du Zhiqiang, watches coldly and even kicks him while he's down. Just as Lin Ye is driven to the edge, a cold mechanical voice rings out deep in his mind: [Protection Campaign System activated.]
He can preview the danger three minutes before it happens and trade for skills in tactics, physical fitness, first aid, and more. He grows stronger each time he protects someone. But this System is no gift. Every act of protection wears down his body, and every choice forces him to decide between “the person he wants to protect” and himself.
Shen Nian, the school's beauty, is the only one who speaks up for him. The daughter of a fallen soldier, she is cool and restrained, yet sees in him a reflection of her father: the stubbornness to shoulder everything himself if it means keeping others safe. What she doesn't know is that Lin Ye is risking his life to uncover the final missing piece of the truth behind her father's sacrifice.
