In the age of magic, humanity is divided into two great factions.
One is the Temple of Light, which represents light magic; the other is the Hall of Clear Nights, which represents dark magic.
They share the same predicament: neither has anyone to carry on its legacy.
The elders of the Temple of Light have received even worse news.
Not only have they failed to find an heir, but their only sacred relic, the Golden Branch Elf, has gone missing!
Word has it that the Golden Branch Elf not only flew into the territory of the opposing faction, but is also getting along splendidly with a heterochromic girl.
The elders of the Temple of Light sucked in a sharp breath.
Since ancient times, people with different-colored eyes have been seen as ignorant and lowly, descendants of devils, and those forbidden from practicing magic.
How could their noble sacred spirit ever touch such a being?
Clearly, the dark magic faction isn't welcoming to the heterochromic girl named Dai Fu, either.
Her professor openly refuses to teach Dai Fu magic in class, and her roommates won't let her into the dorm.
One upperclassman even tries to kill Dai Fu to protect the academy's honor, punishing her for daring to dabble in magical knowledge despite her different-colored eyes.
Dai Fu: "...Heh."
In the days that follow, the disdainful onlookers witness the rise of a magical miracle with their own eyes: the birth of a vicious genius who repeatedly beats students several levels above her.
Those who've never seen her use magic: "Hmph, she's just a heterochromic girl."
Those who've been on the receiving end of her magic: "...Well, she's just a heterochromic girl."
Watching the whole thing through a water mirror, the elders of the Temple of Light stubbornly insist: "She's just a genius, that's all."
Xia Lie is a spy sent by the light faction, assigned specifically to keep an eye on Dai Fu.
After spending many days with her, he makes a decision that goes against everything his ancestors stood for.
To defect. Defect right now!
"She trusts me as a dear friend, after all."
"I admit you're a genius, but..."
"Wait, you made Moon Sigh Grass and the Eternal Golden Branch bloom at the same time?!"
"What do you mean, your heir? She's clearly my heir!"
P.S.:
1. At first, the heroine is socially oblivious, lost in her own world and completely absorbed in herself.
2. The hero is a spy from the Temple of Light. He has a head full of schemes, but acts warm and friendly and is incredibly popular. Unfortunately, his assignment is a heroine who refuses to be swayed.
Theme: Break through constraints and grow freely.
Wow, he's so handsome. He needs such careless strength.
Hahahahahahaha, it feels like a game where the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry
