As an ordinary person living in a city where demons run wild after dark and danger lurks everywhere, Jiang Wenyu feels under a lot of pressure.
Even worse, his childhood friend, an Esper with an excessive urge to protect him, is a paranoid delusionist who constantly imagines that the whole world is out to get him. She acts as if Jiang Wenyu might be hit by a truck falling from the sky and sent to another world just for stepping outside during the day, let alone at night.
Jiang Wenyu: "…"
Then one day, Jiang Wenyu was attacked by a monster that appeared from nowhere while he was coming home late from working overtime. To stay alive, he had no choice but to pick up a Contract Stone. It gave him a strange power and transformed him into the magical girl "Gilded Crimson Flame." Forced to fight bizarre monsters with all his might, he had to say goodbye to ordinary life for good.
With no other choice, Jiang Wenyu had to keep his magical-girl side job a secret from his childhood friend and roommate.
The one thing he could be grateful for was that, although he was still a man, some inexplicable force made everyone else see him as a pretty girl, sparing him the mortifying experience of having a burly man dress up as a woman.
Jiang Wenyu: "..." I'm not happy about this at all, okay!
Fortunately, he met the colleague he fell for at first sight: "Silver Thunderclap," whose power was also that of a magical girl. Unfortunately, this magical girl seemed to have a terrible temper. She wore a scowl every day and was practically a rabid dog, snapping at everyone she saw. For some inexplicable reason, she even treated him as her lifelong nemesis, attacking him with lightning whenever they met and hunting him down in an attempt to kill him.
Not only did Jiang Wenyu have to fight monsters with all his might and struggle to survive against the person he had a crush on, he also had to find a way to hide his miserable situation from his childhood friend and roommate. His life had become a living hell.
Jiang Wenyu: "…This is so hard!"
Fang Tingqiao had a secret.
He was secretly working as a magical girl under the title "Silver Thunderclap," hiding it from his childhood friend, whom he'd had a crush on for years.
But no matter what life-threatening danger he faced, whenever he thought of his childhood friend Jiang Wenyu, Fang Tingqiao could grit his teeth and press on.
Then a new rookie magical girl called "Gilded Crimson Flame" showed up. She was pretty, but the two of them were from the same district, making them natural rivals locked in a fight to the death.
To protect the world where the cutest person in the world, Jiang Wenyu, lived, Fang Tingqiao decided to strike this magical girl with lightning every time they met, until she was dead.
Who would have thought that no matter how many times he zapped Gilded Crimson Flame, she wouldn't die? In fact, she seemed to get more energetic with every hit!
Even more terrifying, Jiang Wenyu, the man he'd been in love with for years, seemed to have recently attracted some kind of deranged pervert. He came home covered in injuries every day, hiding them and doing everything he could to keep Fang Tingqiao from finding out.
With trouble in both his love life and career, Fang Tingqiao felt as if ants were crawling all over him: "…"
Damn it, who would dare hurt Jiang Wenyu? He'd go take out that lunatic tomorrow!
Content warnings:
1. A hot-tempered, rabid-dog, selectively affectionate, love-struck top who acts tough on the outside, paired with a gentle, optimistic, imaginative little ray of sunshine on the bottom (Fang Tingqiao x Jiang Wenyu). Mutual pining with crossed signals. Main pairing is 1v1, no switching or breaking them up.
2. Urban supernatural powers, with abilities awakened like spiritual energy. The magical girls don't change sex: after transforming, everyone else sees them as girls, but they still see themselves as men.
3. A Mr. and Mrs. Smith setup: masked foes fighting each other in the story's arcs, a four-way romance involving two people. A silly love story.
