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.

As for why they were here, and why it was Lin Yun who accompanied her, the reason, naturally, was the word Mu Baihe just mentioned—


It was a rumor that had been circulating among Magical Girls for quite some time. When exactly it started was also unclear, but as far as Lin Yun knew, when he was still a student, this rumor was already spreading among Magical Girls.


The rumor specifically stated: It's said that there exists a door in this world called the "Gate of Ascension," and the person who enters and gets its approval can become a "king."


In just one sentence, the content of the rumor was summed up. As to what exactly a "king" was, why one would become a "king," or whether this rumor was grossly disrespectful to Her Majesty the Queen, those weren't issues that ordinary Magical Girls would contemplate.
