After getting cheated on, Su Nuan looks to the heavens and vents with a few heartfelt words, only to be struck by a rare bolt of dry lightning.
When you’re unlucky, even Heaven picks on you.
When she wakes up again, there’s inexplicably a little ball in her mind.
Apparently, it comes from a civilization far beyond what humanity has achieved?
Su Nuan pokes it with two tiny fingers. “What good is this going to do for me when I try to get into one of the five military academies?”
Well, she should be able to cheat on the exams now, right?
*
She gets into the Five Military Academy as she’d hoped. In public, she’s a sweet, airheaded girl in the mecha department, cute and easy to bully.
But in secret, she takes on the name Desert Wolf, a cold-blooded killer who prowls the night like a ruler of the darkness.
With nothing but her bare hands, she’ll carve out a share of the cutthroat business world.
Moving unseen through the night, she’ll leave an immortal monument in the vast military world.

Should she just let bygones be bygones?
Her scumbag ex comes crawling back: “Nuan Nuan, believe me, there were reasons for what happened... Please, let me live.”
A certain general says bluntly, “Su Nuan, you’d be better off not investigating your father’s case any further.”
As if she would!
Chu Yu, I heard every word you said back then, and every one pierced my heart. Your betrayal and your frame-up are enough to earn you two years guarding the Second Front.
General, you can strip me of my rank and dismiss me from my post, but even alone, I’ll reclaim my father’s honor.

In public, he’s her coach and her partner.
In private, he’s her protector and her rock.
Faced with schemes in the open and in the shadows, he lets out a cold laugh. “In this lifetime, I’ve finally met someone who can move my heart. I’m going to spoil her beyond all reason. What do you think you can do about it?”

“Young Master, the young master of the Pei family has invited Miss Su to dinner.”
“Break his legs.”
“Young Master, the Knoss family has put out a secret offer: an island for Miss Su’s head.”
“What! My Nuan is worth only one island? Put the word out: two islands in the Pacific Rim for the head of the Knoss family. Oh, right, I remember the Knoss family mainly builds warships. Find someone to buy them out and give the company to Nuan.”
“Young Master, the latest report says Miss Su has been assigned a special mission in the Sea of Death.”
“Oh, that’s a good mission. I haven’t seen Nuan in ages. I’ll file a request and go with her.”
