[Strong female lead, school for people with special abilities, ensemble cast, open-ended finale with extra chapters]
After Yun Xiaxuan was reunited with the wealthy Su family, she entered Twilight Academy, a school for training people with special abilities.
She rose through the ranks, fighting her way from the worst class to the highest year. She reunited with her divine-beast brothers and uncovered the secrets behind her family.
But gradually, she realized something was wrong: the school itself was one enormous lie.
The first year looked like beginner training, but was actually a way to select new recruits.
The brutal elimination process in the second year mirrored a betrayal from history.
The idyllic utopia of the third year was actually a brief respite between wars.
She had once been the Su family’s precious pearl, treasured in her brothers’ hands and raised in luxury amid baths of irises that never faded with the seasons.
Until she personally lifted the white cloth from the coffin.
A severed hand, a severed foot, a disfigured face, a body wasted to skin and bone: that was her. The “savior” who had crawled across a scorched battlefield for forty-four days, enduring to the end on one leg.
And now, cheers erupted from every corner of the shelter: “Yun Xiaxuan is the savior!”
She had died.
But she had still “survived.”
Because someone sitting in a wheelchair had spoken her name.
“Return victorious before the last sunset fades beyond the clouds.”
She had returned.
As a corpse.
That was the history that had already been written.
I always have fantasies and expectations about campus themes. Perhaps, I was bullied too much when I was a child, so my beautiful childhood only often appeared in my dreams. This is also the result of a dream of mine, but I still haven't been able to write it well...
