Lu Beichen has retired. His superiors have arranged for him to marry into the Lin family of Jiang City. His new identity: a discharged soldier with no special skills. His daily duties: mop the floors, buy groceries, and pick up his wife after work.
The Lin family thinks he's useless. His wife's suitors think he's an obstacle. Their business rivals think the Lin family's eldest daughter has no one capable of fighting by her side. Lu Beichen doesn't care. His favorite part of every day is sitting in the security booth below the company building in the evening, waiting for Lin Qingwan to get off work. She won't let him come upstairs, so he waits downstairs. He can wait as long as it takes. Then one evening, an S-rank Awakened walked into the building. Lu Beichen took one look and recognized him as a dangerous fugitive wanted overseas. He set the groceries down in the booth and followed him inside.
Lin Qingwan saw everything from the security room. Every one of her elite security personnel was down within three minutes. Then Lu Beichen walked into the lobby wearing house slippers, still holding the garlic shoots he'd just bought. He used no moves. He simply walked up to the man and said something. The cameras had no audio, but the man dropped to his knees on the spot. Lu Beichen walked out, picked up his bag of groceries from the security booth, and sat back down to wait for his wife, as if nothing had happened.
