Synopsis

[In the eternal night wrapped in the Ouroboros, he is a jagged edge the darkness could not smooth away]

The Ouroboros holds the city of Evernight in the palm of its hand. Neon lights are false stars, mechanical arms carry more weight than fists, and the so-called “rules” are nothing but fences built by those at the top to pen in the darkness. This city has room for ants barely scraping by, but none for misfits who dare to look up.

Chen Jin crawled out through a gap in the fence.

He blends into the grime of the lower levels, then suddenly appears one morning in a middle-tier trading market. He takes dirty jobs, then turns around and slips his pay into the hands of children in the slums. Some call him a madman, dancing on the edge of a blade in a routine that could end with him falling to his death at any moment. Others call him a gambler, staking his life on a rebellion no one believes in.

The Ouroboros’s gears grind across countless bones, and the eternal night remains too thick to dispel. Chen Jin stands on an overlooked street corner, his fingertips brushing the knife hidden in his sleeve. The chill of the metal mingles with the oil stains that refuse to wash from between his fingers, as if silently declaring: Some things are worth trying to touch, even if he is the only one left to try.

[An intrepid soul, neither wholly good nor evil | A dark city under the Ouroboros’s shadow | An ordinary man defying the odds]

When the judge brings no light, perhaps the light must be carved out by your own hands.

Looking for BL Stories to Get Me Out of My Reading Slump

Looking for books like Infinite Escape: The Cannon Fodder Turns into a Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Protagonist. In all the time I've been reading, only one book has really caught my eye. I just started a world-hopping novel, and only the first world was good. By the second world, it was the same old routine. I seriously can't believe it! That's what reading has been like for me lately.
