Lin Zhaoyan, a poor student from Qingzhou, is dull and taciturn, but has a pair of disturbing eyes.
Gu Ci, the prince of Changguang, was the most special hostage in Kyoto. He was handsome and calm, but he never got too close to anyone.

Gu Ci is checking for a person who shouldn't die.

I just don't know who the blade will eventually point to.
