Erin Greystone was born with two curses:
One is the ability to read minds - within a radius of ten steps, everyone's superficial thoughts flooded into her mind like a tide, which could not be closed and never stopped.
The second is the body of broken memories - her memory was swallowed by two people, leaving a dangerous blank, and this blank is the container that the oldest "shadow dragon" in the abyss longs for.
In order to find the truth behind her mother's disappearance, Irene was forced to enter Youyuan Academy, a school of death that trains shadow dragon knights. Here, students must feed their "dark memories" to the shadow dragon in exchange for power, and those who fail are turned into stone statues.
But Erin soon discovers: The true purpose of the academy is not to train dragons, but to harvest the most painful memories and sacrifice them to an eternal ruler who devours souls. And her mind-reading ability allowed her to hear everyone's hypocrisy, fear, and betrayal—including the tenderness in the heart of the arrogant first heir, Cain Bloodthorn, that even he himself had forgotten.
When the truth revealed by mind reading and the monster deep in memory awaken at the same time, Erin must choose: save herself by swallowing everyone's pain, or use her blank space to carry all the echoes of a broken world?
