"We don't accept gold or silver here, only things you can't bear to part with - a memory, an instinct, or a heartbeat."
Shen Wu Jiu is the only owner of "colorless blood" in the world. As a Beta human without pheromones, he runs Yueluo Pawnshop: temporarily preserving the vampire's attachment to the sun, preserving important marks for the werewolf, and helping the undead seal precious memories. This "blank" makes him the most neutral mediator in the supernatural world and the next successor chosen by the pawn shop.
Until a mysterious client asked him to find the escaped Omega vampire Iris. During Shen Wujiu's investigation, he discovered that behind this disappearance was the secret that changed the order of the four races: the legend of the special bloodline, the unfinished business of the previous master, and the ancient prophecy that turned Beta from a "spectator" to a "variable".
Crow Jiu is a black market intelligence dealer and an Omega wizard who owes Shen Wu Jiu his life. He first approached the pawnshop because he wanted to use the "colorless blood" to complete the forbidden spell and get rid of the shackles of instinct. But he discovered something even more precious - Shen Wujiu's "colorless" was not empty, but the possibility that had not yet been written.
When Iris seeks true freedom on her own, and when Shen Wujiu learns to "want" in order to protect others, Yajiu must choose: complete the forbidden spell to gain perfect freedom, or recognize the bond that is not based on instinct - even if it means enduring the pain of the incomplete mark forever, even if Shen Wujiu may no longer be able to "feel" his existence.
"I don't need instinct telling me who to approach."
"But I'll use every breath I take to let you know I'm here."
