[Gentle, sickly beauty of a Guide x Sentinel with an impeccable sense of duty]
After transmigrating one day, Shi Xuezhao, who has Sleeping Beauty Syndrome, finds herself in an incredibly awkward position in the post-apocalyptic world: a precious but low-ranking healing-type Guide.
Worse still, she is about to become a pawn in a deal among the powerful, sent into a heavily polluted zone to "soothe" a group of Sentinels on the verge of madness.
Even high-ranking Guides might have their mental power destroyed by rampaging Sentinels, let alone her.
This is a guaranteed death sentence 🆘.
Then the polluted zone shudders, and the buildings collapse.
The pale-skinned, beautiful Guide falls into a deep sleep after exhausting herself with her healing, and is about to be buried under the rubble.
Just a moment earlier, those Sentinels had been slaughtering one another. Now they abruptly stop fighting and rush toward her, one after another, using their mutated bodies to shield her.

After the apocalypse, Sentinels are humanity's last line of defense against pollution, as well as its most unstable and dangerous weapons.
The monthly mental guidance provided by the White Tower's Guides is no less than mental torture to them.
Painful, and humiliating.
Until Shi Xuezhao appears.
Her mental power is gentle.
She isn't afraid of the Sentinels' terrifying spirit forms, nor is she frightened by the mutations pollution has wrought upon them.
Her fingers stroke their fearsome scales, and her mental tentacles reach deep into their frenzied mindscapes, bringing a shiver of calm and peace.
Before long, the way the Sentinels look at Shi Xuezhao begins to change.
They want to have her, to keep her all to themselves 💕.
*
Shi Xuezhao has a secret.
Deep guidance for Sentinels eases her own compulsion to sleep.
And so the "human weapons" abandoned by the White Tower government are picked back up by Shi Xuezhao, patched up one by one.
She takes in any Sentinel who has lost control and been imprisoned.
She accepts every one who has succumbed to pollution.
She even approaches the mutated monsters said to have lost their human forms and fused with their spirit forms.
She gives them the comfort, embraces, and kisses they long for.
She accepts their possessive, frenzied advances and touches.
She can even learn to "love" them.
As long as... it lets her survive.
*
The Sentinels once firmly believed that Shi Xuezhao was their only salvation.
Until the night her secret is exposed, and a Sentinel pins her to the bed.
The Guide's slender wrists and ankles are silently restrained. A scorching palm strokes her cheek, then covers her gently trembling lashes.
In the darkness, more than one person kisses the ends of her hair and her fingertips.
"Miss Shi, stop using those trashy things to treat your illness."
"Use us instead."
