When Zhu Lingfeng was little, she came down with a strange, serious illness. Her parents had no choice but to take her from Nancheng, a city crisscrossed by rivers, to the mountainous Beicheng. They visited every famous hospital they could find, and at last, their daughter was cured.
For years, Zhu Lingfeng lived by the motto, "Wise people stay out of love; the single and unattached will become rich women in the end." She became a promising young researcher at A City's Central Research Institute, served as a doctoral advisor, and could shoulder half the weight of the nation's classified projects all by herself.
Her hazy childhood memories had long since slipped from her mind.
Her mother was so exasperated by her daughter's attitude of "make a living first, find love later" that she packed her bags and returned to Nancheng for a visit.
When she came back, she issued Zhu Lingfeng an ultimatum: she had to go on a blind date.
The prospective date was her childhood playmate.
She'd heard that he'd joined the military, was exceptionally talented and handsome, had a bright future ahead of him, and had never stopped thinking about Zhu Lingfeng all these years.
Zhu Lingfeng: ?
That little brat had been a single-digit age back then. What did he know about love?
She promptly ditched the blind date and went to a project dinner at the research institute.
The next day, the director brought the prospective date over to Zhu Lingfeng. "Xiao Zhu, the project you're about to work on involves cooperation between several countries and takes place in a border city. It's of great importance, so the higher-ups have specially assigned Comrade Yan Jun to be your bodyguard."
"He couldn't make it yesterday, so he missed the dinner. You can meet him today."
Zhu Lingfeng: ...
So I ditched the blind date for my career, while he ditched his career for the blind date.

After spending some time together, Zhu Lingfeng felt that her blind date and temporary bodyguard had a strange way of talking.
It always seemed like he was hinting at something.
For example: "Your secret is safe with me. I haven't told anyone about it all these years."
Zhu Lingfeng: ?
She really had no interest in some childish secret from over a decade ago.
Before Zhu Lingfeng could give it any more thought, one dangerous and bizarre incident after another came her way.
After Yan Jun had shielded her from one barrage of attacks after another, he finally couldn't hold back. "You still haven't mastered your spiritual powers?"
As he spoke, he took Zhu Lingfeng's hand and swung it through the air.
A blazing red flame surged up with the force of her punch.
Zhu Lingfeng's worldview shattered into pieces. So that was the truth behind the secret: she was the true modern-day heir to the Spirit Masters?!
Who could have guessed that?
