The Supreme Master of the City

Yunhai City.

This is a beautiful seaside city in the north. The city is not small, yet its population is modest—about five million, counting both residents and transient visitors. Its main industry is tourism, so life here is leisurely and prosperous; people are unhurried, living at a relaxed pace without much pressure.

Nestled between mountains and rivers, graced with picturesque scenery, Yunhai City is a haven for its inhabitants. Its promotional slogan—“A pristine land, the city best suited for living”—may be somewhat exaggerated, but it reflects the pride and confidence of the people of Yunhai.

Yunhai is an ancient capital with a history stretching back a thousand years, its modern bustle tinged with a whisper of classical charm.

Of course, Ling Tian had no heart to appreciate any of this, for his journey to Yunhai was prompted by a matter of great importance.

A blind date.

Thinking of this, Ling Tian felt helpless. He had planned to return to Yunhai for a critical reason, only to be ambushed by that meddlesome old man, who insisted on arranging a marriage for him.

Well, so be it. Let them arrange it. It was all just an act, he thought—meet the girl, go through the motions, and be done with it.

He had just stepped off the train, not even had time to change clothes, still dressed in sportswear, rushing to keep the appointment. There was no helping it; the train arrived at seven in the morning, and the old man sent a message demanding he meet the girl at half past eight, complete with the location for the blind date.
