As a soft X-ray imager with an unprecedentedly large field of view, Einstein Probe (EP)/Wide-field X-ray Telescope (WXT) has detected many (fast) X-ray transients, whose nature is very intriguing. Whether there is a gamma-ray counterpart for the X-ray transient provides important implications for it...
