Under the night, the crown lies quietly on the bloody altar, decay and glory entangled endlessly. Yan Heng, ever since he was chosen by unknown hands, has lived with this cursed crown. Every time he touches, there is a shadow in the kingdom, and every time he resists, the soul sinks deeper into the quagmire. Yan Heng was not born for power. He longed to break free from the shackles left by his fathers, but was lured into the dark abyss by the whisper of the crown. Civil strife quietly arises, loyalists turn into hunters, and former cronies turn into ghosts. Yan Heng must choose between the corrupt throne and self-salvation, and find the truth in sacrifice and betrayal. The curse of the crown is just the prologue. The real trial is whether he can find his own light at the end of the night.
