    In my past life, I was a half-step Martial God of the Eighth Realm, protecting my country, but I sacrificed myself in battle, leaving behind many regrets. Reborn, I unexpectedly encountered the once unapproachable, aloof school beauty—Ye Miyue—at the massage parlor of my family's martial arts school. At that time, she had not yet awakened her martial arts talent and worked part-time as a massage therapist. But I clearly remember that in my past life, she perished in an attack by the S-class alien beast "Wind King Falcon." In this life, I decided to change her fate, starting with one "extra massage" after another. "My hands are tired..." She whispered, her cheeks flushed. I showed no mercy, pointing to her legs: "Who says you can only use your hands? Keep massaging with your feet! Extra time!" The seemingly unreasonable request actually concealed my protection of her. In this ambiguous massage room, our story quietly unfolded.
