A resilient, sweet-faced-but-cunning mutant heroine VS a resentful hero with many secret identities, who puts on an act and secretly raises his mutant ex-girlfriend
Lin Xiyan, a prodigy and the strongest new-generation esper, took the hardest fall of his life over his ex.
His ex left him without looking back for another man, abandoning the First Base. He heard nothing from her for years.
He sees her again at a checkpoint into the base. She is in the long line waiting to be inspected, dressed in ragged clothes and looking as though she has fallen on hard times.
Lin Xiyan, meanwhile, is on duty today as the base's youngest commander, enjoying boundless prestige.
A friend on duty with him sees the contrast and takes great pleasure in it. When she reaches the checkpoint for inspection, he shoves Lin Xiyan forward, hoping to see her embarrassed, humiliated, and flustered.
But she acts as though nothing is wrong. She only seems to panic when her blood sample falls to the ground. She crouches down and fumbles around helplessly, appearing to be blind.
Not only has she lost her sight, she also takes the opportunity to switch the blood samples.

Jian Yihe has become a mutant. She has not lost her sanity, but her senses have deteriorated, and she is both blind and deaf. She can communicate with the outside world only through a brain-computer interface.
The upside is that the mutation has made her tougher than an ordinary human. She disguises herself as an esper, eagerly tackles dungeons, and works hard to grow stronger.
The problem is that she must stay on her guard at all times and keep her mutant identity secret. So she never gets close to anyone, and she always joins random teams for dungeons, never keeping the same teammates for long.
Still, she is lucky. Every team she encounters has good people who don't mind that she's blind and deaf. They don't run off when danger strikes, and they occasionally let their guard down, giving her a chance to transform into her mutant form and feed.
Until one day, she realizes that these "good teammates" all seem to be the same person.
