   Since array formations are involved, the first step is to find the necessary materials. The protagonist meticulously searches ancient texts and finally discovers a subtle mention of the required material: a mineral called Starstone, said to grow only in places rich in stellar energy. The protagonist embarks on a journey to find the Starstone, traversing mountains and valleys until he arrives at a mysterious ancient cave. Upon entering, he feels a powerful force pulling him. After struggling to regain his footing, he sees stones shimmering with strange light around him—undoubtedly Starstones. However, the Starstones are surrounded by a defensive array; to obtain them, the array must be broken. The protagonist calms himself and, drawing on his previous experience with array formations, begins to analyze the formation. He discovers the array's core lies beneath a massive Starstone; disrupting the flow of spiritual energy there will solve the problem. The protagonist then uses his unique technique to guide spiritual energy towards the array's core. A flash of bright light, and the defensive array shatters. The protagonist successfully obtains the Starstone and can now begin setting up his own powerful array.

The male lead is also very intelligent and rational, but has a rather aloof personality, which perfectly complements the female lead. Trust me, this book is incredibly sweet; I highly recommend it!
