Wangfu Private High School is a greenhouse for the children of the powerful, and a hunting ground where hounds are raised.
Qing Lang, known as the “wild wolf” of Z City’s top public high school, carries his defiance and resentment into the nobles’ “Wasteland Challenge,” a deadly selection trial where talent, cunning, and blood are the price of survival.
Witty and roguish, he wears a carefree smile as he stands outside the rules. He treats the brutal trials like arcade-game levels and tramples the so-called noble order underfoot.
And then there is the boy at the pinnacle of power: Susi Yuliansi, blond and violet-eyed, elegant and composed, the very symbol of the noble world. Calmly and rationally, he judges everything unfolding in the Wasteland, yet he cannot tear his gaze away from the reckless boy before him.
At first, they are enemies, rivals entangled in misunderstandings.
At first, Qing Lang sees Susi as his imaginary rival only because of his gentle goddess, Tian.
But after one elimination trial after another, no one can say for certain who is the hunter and who is the prey.
Desire is fire; will is a blade.
In this game that can devour souls, they pull at each other, testing, drawing close, and tearing apart. Like two strands of fate, they are each other’s shackles, yet neither can break away.
