Onstage, he was the captivating “Jieyuhua,” winning the whole hall’s applause when his performance ended.
Offstage, he was the head of the Xie family of the Nine Gates. His calculations never failed, yet he could not calculate away a lifetime of regrets.
At the end of his life, just as Xie Yuchen’s soul was about to fade into nothingness, it was captured by a strange System called “Unfinished Song.”
