Qin Wan always thought that one day she would suddenly gain supernatural powers like the heroes in movies and save the world.
Although she was ordinary, she had been able to see things other people couldn't since childhood, and she had a strong sense of justice.
Being a hero was her destiny!
Until one day, she got a concussion while dodging a black hole that suddenly appeared in front of her. The doctor, concerned about her mental state, responsibly bundled her off to the psychiatric department.
And so, a diagnosis that was twenty-two years overdue finally came in: there was something wrong with her brain. In short, she was mentally ill.
Qin Wan was very calm. Oh, so the reason she'd been so hyper all these years was that she was mentally ill?
If that was the case, then everything made sense.
To become a normal person, she obediently packed her things the next day and moved into a psychiatric hospital. The doctor had been found through her elderly neighbor, who said he was the best in the city.

Life at the psychiatric hospital was very peaceful, until one day the inpatient ward where she was staying was surrounded by a mass of black slime.
Qin Wan: ?
Doctor, are you any good at your job? Her hallucinations have invaded the inpatient ward. Why does it feel like her condition is getting worse?
Just as she was about to wade into her room as usual, a monk grabbed her.
The monk looked solemn and earnest. "You have strange powers. You're a special person. Come with us and save the world!"
Qin Wan: ?
Doctor, get over here! A new patient just walked in!

It wasn't until her second month as a hero that Qin Wan realized the gulf between heroes and ordinary people was so huge.
Hero Number One was a monk. Behind his mature, dependable, and gentlemanly facade was a fussy old nanny who spent every day cleaning up after a bunch of rebellious kids.
Hero Number Two was underage. He looked sweet and adorable, but his mental state was extremely unstable. Before each fight, someone had to hold him back from elbowing his own teammates.
Hero Number Three was a girl, a gentle, adorable, naive, and purehearted old monster who had lived for who knew how many years.
Hero Number Four was a seven-year-old child, a tiny bean who had entered a monastery and become a charlatan before ever setting foot in kindergarten. He was out of breath after three steps and coughing after five. He dreamed of being a superhero, and everyone was often worried he might drop dead at any moment.
The heroes all had their own quirks, but they had one thing in common: each of them had their own mental and physical disabilities.
Qin Wan was often utterly shocked. Everyone was this sick, and they still had to save the world?
