The female protagonist directly pulls out an industrial-grade ultraviolet lamp and protective gear, displaying both professionalism and coolness. Meanwhile, the male protagonist, Lu Qiu, becomes the adorable contrast in the face of her "scientific experiments." Faced with the female protagonist's "high-tech exorcism" operation, he can only helplessly complain, "I'm afraid of ultraviolet rays too!" This amusing interaction perfectly showcases the chemistry between this couple. The female protagonist, Xia Wange, is not only incredibly intelligent but also meticulous. She considers every detail: protective suits, oxygen cylinders, even the room layout… she's practically an "all-rounder." While the male lead, Lu Qiu, initially found the female lead's methods "too futuristic," he was deeply impressed by her professionalism and composure. This pair of morally upright and intellectually sharp leads are destined to create something special! They are not just partners, but also a perfect blend of modern and traditional culture.

    I'm a bit shy about praising my own book. The female lead is incredibly gentle and sensitive, and the male lead is only gentle towards her. One is alone and without family, the other possesses extraordinary strength but has nowhere to place his heart; they find warmth and guidance in each other. The pacing is slow in the beginning, but the plot unfolds gradually later on.
