Not Hearing the Sound of the Clock in the Middle of the Night

This is a world that fears the dark. The night here is particularly quiet, with only a few solitary fires walking through the dark streets. Yu Yan, a young man who should not have had a fateful relationship, was forced to embark on the road of being a watchman in order to save the life of the only relative around him - the demon girl Xi Yan. Dongfang Qiming, the watchman captain of Binhai City in Mingzezhou, gave him an irresistible choice: as long as Yu Yan is willing to become a watchman, then he is willing to plead with the superiors to save Xi Yan's life. What he initially wanted was nothing more than a small amount of peace: to protect a city and one person. However, troubled times never listen to humble wishes. Who would have thought that this young man who initially just wanted to live in a corner would eventually take on the great cause of saving the world? His companions died one by one before his eyes, and even her sister was indirectly killed by him. Until the end, after he gave up all worries, he used his body as a flame and carried the lights of thousands of families to light the dawn again for the people. I only hope that the world will always be clear and peaceful, and that the sound of the clock will not be heard in the middle of the night. ——Only this volume pays tribute to all those who watch the long night.
