Evil forces are at work, supernatural powers have appeared, and strength divides people into different ranks.
Xia Du lives in the lowest district, where reckless drifters are everywhere and brutal killers run rampant.
Fortunately, none of it affects her.
She likes to wear plain white dresses, warmly greet her mute neighbor, bring breakfast to the children left home alone downstairs, feed the stray black cat on the corner, then open her bookstore as usual and give flowers to the customers reading there.
Her ordinary life was shattered one day.
An escaped A-rank criminal broke into her bookstore and took Xia Du hostage.
The mute neighbor removed his muzzle, and his terrifying Word Spirit twisted reality.
The child left home alone had completely black eyes, and their S-rank mental control robbed the criminal of the ability to move.
The stray black cat leapt lightly into her arms, and their shared precognition let her perfectly see through every one of the criminal's thoughts.
Everyone said Xia Du was beautiful and fragile, blossoming amid chaos because of her gentle nature.

Rumor has it that a divine statue is worshipped in a dreamlike little shop filled with flowers and books, where the lucky ones can hear the whispers of a god.
The god grants ordinary people power and heals the wounds of the sick.
The Supernatural Bureau issued its highest-level ban: The shopkeeper is a kind, gentle, ordinary person. She has divine protection but knows nothing of it. Anyone who enters the shop should quietly listen to the god's revelations. Under no circumstances should you disturb her.
One day, someone had a sudden idea and struck up a conversation with the shopkeeper: Do you know which god the statue is of?
A smile spread across the young woman's pure, delicate face. "I do. The God of Deceit."
As the source of supernatural power, the God of Deceit loved nothing more than stirring up trouble. Xia Du could only gain energy by deceiving people. Her response was: "If we're going to play, we might as well go all out."
