The Mirror Calamity Descends: Bound to the Moonmarked Wolf Demon

A thousand years ago, a strange element came into being between heaven and earth. It could control all things in the world, yet people could also wield it. They called this power Rhythm.

But the path to heaven had never belonged to commoners.

Nobles awakened to their power at birth, entered clan schools, studied Rhythm Manuals, and donned Rhythm Armor. Commoners could kneel until their hair turned white and still hear only one word: “Rhythmless.”

Mo Bai transmigrated into this world, only to be judged a cripple by the Rhythm-Reflecting Mirror from the start.

His only hope was a System that did nothing but complain.

“Host is about to die. Recommendation: lie flat with grace.”

Then the Mirror Calamity arrived.

Mirror Beasts crawled out of reflections, devouring memories, stealing identities, imitating the voices of loved ones, and luring people into opening the city gates with their own hands.

Everyone said a Rhythmless person caught in the Mirror Calamity had no chance of survival.

But Mo Bai could see when the mirrors were lying.

That night, following a trace of mirror-mark that shouldn't have existed, he met Bai Li,

a Moonmark wolf demon who had lost her left arm, bore a disfigured appearance, and was considered ill-omened by the demon clans.

A Rhythmless cripple.

A maimed wolf demon.

Unable to follow the orthodox path of the noble clans, they could only tread a forbidden road feared by humans and shunned by demons:

Symbiotic Fusion.

She used wolf blood to tear open his mirror-marks.

He used the eyes of an ordinary human to guard her permanently missing left side.

Later, a saying began circulating in Qingshi City:

Don't look in a mirror in front of that Rhythmless boy.

He can tell when the mirror is lying.

Then, one day, Mo Bai heard the voice of his missing cousin from inside a mirror:

“Xiao Bai, don't look for me.”

For the first time, the System fell silent.

Only two icy prompts remained:

[Warning: It is learning you.]
