In the midst of that situation, he is saved by a mysterious girl, who wields kitchen knives to kill the enemies. The girl tells Chulan, who is relieved, to face his hardships head on and leaves. However, Chulan later sees that girl again at his university. From that moment, Zhang Chulan’s destiny begins to move.
