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.
But he was very aware that being a "Magic" girl came with life-threatening dangers.
Should he stop her, or respect his daughter’s choice and find other ways to protect her?
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.

"I can't tell if it's hatred or fear, nor do I know which is stronger. But I do know that I'm disgusted with my own thoughts."


Hearing her words, Emerald Sparrow didn't immediately judge but instead countered, "Why? Because of what happened to your mom?"


"...I've been thinking about these things these past few days and started feeling that knowing the truth isn't necessarily a good thing."


Lin Xiaolu replied with a complex expression, "Just 'knowing that Magical Girls can die' and 'knowing a Magical Girl who died' are completely different feelings."
