Jiang Qingcao has three secrets:
1. She is the thirty-eighth-generation heir of the Jiang family, and a true martial arts expert.
2. Every night, she goes on "patrol," specializing in dealing with anyone who refuses to stop bullying people at school.
3. She sleeps in class because she really is saving the world.

The whole school is gossiping: "Look! Jiang Qingcao's fighting for Pu Xi again!"
Jiang Qingcao slams the table in indignation. "I'm just ridding the world of evil!"
Pu Xi closes his book and smiles faintly.
"Mm, the heroine is right."
He proudly spreads a stack of notes in front of her.
"Ever since the day you rescued a student who was surrounded by bullies with a set of palm techniques on the sports field, I've been researching... how to let a martial arts expert practice righteous deeds legally and reasonably in a modern school."
[Reading Guide]
1. A heroine with overwhelming combat prowess x a hero with sky-high intelligence
2. A modern school-set martial arts story
3. Mutual unrequited love, with each of them thinking their feelings are one-sided
4. Friendly reminder: If you see a school bully suddenly start studying the law and obeying it... they may have been "educated" and given some "talk therapy."
5. Another friendly reminder: If you see an ER doctor performing bone-setting techniques with unusual fluency... he may have a martial arts expert as his "personal trainer."

Many years later.
The lights in the hospital emergency room are painfully bright.
Fresh off her shift, Jiang Qingcao leans against the duty room doorway with a bouquet in her arms, watching the white-coated figure weaving between the hospital rooms.
Everything is orderly, and he handles it with ease.
"Dr. Pu, working overtime again?" she asks, raising an eyebrow.
Pu Xi finishes writing his last medical record, takes off his glasses, and rubs his brow. When he turns, his eyes are bright. "I had a patient today with a very unusual wrist dislocation. I used that reverse-reduction method with the 'small capture technique' you taught me last time. It worked three minutes faster than the standard procedure."
Jiang Qingcao laughs and puts the flowers in his arms. "So, future Master Physician Pu, did you fulfill your martial arts dream?"
Pu Xi takes the flowers. Amid their crisp fragrance, the smile in his eyes shines brighter than the lights behind him.
"I did," he says, his voice especially clear in the quiet hallway. "And it turned out even better than I dreamed."
