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.

On a midsummer afternoon, Lin Xiaolu returned to consciousness from a long stretch of Spiritual Thought, sitting on the couch with the air conditioning on, listlessly picking up her phone in the living room.


She breezed through some boring messages on social media and chuckled at a few short videos before putting her phone down, sensing something amiss, and saying with confusion, "Hasn't Fairy been out for too long?"


Leaning on the couch, Xia Liang drawled, "Didn't we talk about this before? The search for potential Magical Girls is making progress or something."


"But this is too long; usually, it's back before or around lunchtime, but now it's almost three in the afternoon."


Resting her chin in her hand, Lin Xiaolu pondered for a moment and then abruptly looked up, making a sudden judgment, "Something's fishy."


"What's fishy?" Xia Liang asked languidly, already used to her somewhat jumpy logic.
