Lin Yun, 36 years old, a widower, a mid-level manager in a private enterprise, is a single father, who has recently felt that he is encountering a mid-life crisis.
Professionally, he faced adversity; domestically, he was in a cold war with his 14-year-old daughter; physically, he suffered from periarthritis and spoke daily of his agony.
In the past few days, he had also uncovered a secret — his daughter was being a "Magic" girl.
With the body of a young maiden, she battled extraordinary monsters and protected the city from attacks — this is the common perception of a "Magic" girl.

Gazing at the Heart Flower in his wardrobe, now covered in dust, Lin Yun, the former "Magic" girl who retired 19 years ago, was facing the third major decision of his life.

Emerald Sparrow had said all this and, seeing Xia Liang trying to understand, she did not speak further, giving her time to digest it.


Xia Liang, in her repeated contemplation, found that she didn't know how to refute Emerald Sparrow.


After a long silence, she said softly, "Even now that I realize all this, it's too late to make amends."


"I've said before, it's not your fault to begin with, so what is there to mend?"
