But she had no choice.
From the moment Old Mr. Bai saved her from the burning ruins, her life no longer belonged to herself; it belonged to the Bai Family.
Moreover, Old Mr. Bai had always treated her well, considering her as his goddaughter, sending her to school, teaching her martial arts, helping her awaken as an Awakener, arranging her job at the Security Bureau, and nurturing her investigative skills.
She couldn't let Old Mr. Bai down; she could only work hard, solve cases, achieve results, and not embarrass him.
Later, during a mission, she met the love of her life. The two fell in love at first sight. To be with him, she tearfully pleaded with Old Mr. Bai, hoping he would grant her wish.
The scene was etched in her memory forever. Old Mr. Bai, sitting under the waterfall, looked at her with sorrow and slowly shook his head, then said, "I can give you freedom. But... you are destined to have no result. Try if you must."
Ultimately, Old Mr. Bai's words proved prophetic.
