The Music of Starry Ruins

Ling Weilan, daughter of a loyal minister from the previous dynasty, conceals her identity and infiltrates the music slave barracks. After awakening the power of empathy, she can sense emotions and images through touch. She joins forces with Prince Jing, Xiao Che, who was framed for a defeat in battle. Together, they expose the conspiracy by Lu Mingyuan and the Third Prince to plunder energy and seize the Star Core. During missions such as a nighttime raid on an energy station and a decisive battle at an ancient temple, Ling Weilan uses sound-wave energy control to disrupt the enemy ranks, while Xiao Che regains command of the army and puts down the rebellion. In the end, the Ling clan is cleared of its unjust charges. Ling Weilan is appointed Guardian of the Star Core, and she and Xiao Che develop from political allies into partners willing to risk their lives for each other. Through carefully designed steampunk settings and psychological battles, the work builds a tale of power struggles and human conflict in an interstellar age.
