Shen Qinglan has never belonged to this world. In her previous life, she was a special forces operative known by the codename **“Liuguang”**—calm, ruthless when necessary, and skilled enough to survive situations that would have killed anyone else. But when she opens her eyes again, she finds herself in an unfamiliar ancient world, living as the adopted daughter of Shen Yuxing, master of Green Bamboo Residence. Her adoptive father treasures her. Her elder brother, Shen Mo’an, protects her as though the entire world is waiting for a chance to steal her away. She has a peaceful home, a loving family, and everything she should need. There is only one thing missing—the truth about where she came from. Determined to find her biological parents, Shen Qinglan begins searching for the secrets buried in her past. She expects the journey to be difficult. What she doesn’t expect is to accidentally acquire a fiancé along the way. Bai Yanzhou is powerful, stubborn, and far too troublesome for her liking. Their first meeting begins with a fight. Their next encounters are filled with arguments, misunderstandings, and one ridiculous situation after another. She thinks their engagement is merely useful. He thinks keeping this reckless girl alive is already troublesome enough. Neither realizes that the seemingly simple search for her birth parents is slowly pulling them toward secrets far greater than either of them imagined. Her identity.His past.A marriage arrangement that may not have been an accident. And a truth that has been hidden for years. Shen Qinglan only wanted to find where she came from.
