In this city, everyone wears a perfect mask.
Tear it off, and all that’s underneath are monsters.
The moment Lin Qi lost his childhood sweetheart, he awakened the “Eye of Truth.”
He saw that his teacher was a Beast of Wrath, his neighbor a Beast of Obsession, and his captain a Beast of Death.
Among the 478,326 residents of Taoyuan City,
less than one in a thousand is human.
But when the most powerful monster tells him,
“I’ve been waiting for you for twenty-seven years,”
Lin Qi begins to wonder:
In a fake world, do the tears we’ve shed and the people we’ve trusted
count as real?
“Don’t trust anyone, including me.”
“The world is fake, but love is real.”
“My name is Lin Qi. I’m human. I promise.”
"The Cage of a Thousand Faces" is an urban tale of the strange, about lies, sacrifice, and belief.
