Thorns of the Abyss

She is Gu Huaishen's abandoned wife, whom he intended to sink beneath the sea; the forbidden key the Ring of Thorns released by chance; and, most of all, the one he marked with his own hand: "Guixu."

He is a cold falcon who controls everything, hunting down the "Ring of Thorns," a force capable of overturning the world. Yet through her, he touched an abyss of the same origin, one that made his soul tremble.

When the urge to investigate slips into dangerous possession, and cold restraints give rise to a twisted attachment, whom does this "Stasis Brand," engraved upon the soul, truly bind?
