In Yutan Continent, the age of sixteen is the demarcation line for all children's destiny - walking into Yutan High School, you are awakened by four playing cards, and the numbers on the cards determine your status in life. Three is the lowest. Picking one out of 100,000 is considered a genius, while J, Q, K, A, 2 and double kings only live in legends.
Chen Qichi awakened a full set of cards. With her left eye crimson and her right eye dark, she was secretly photographed by the legendary and mysterious Elite Club - an organization that no one knew existed but that guarded the entire continent in the dark. She thought that by guarding the mainland, life would always be peaceful.
Until children and old people are sucked out of the power of the cards and die one after another, until the lost cards will tear open the cracks in the mainland's protective layer, until her most trusted partner Lu Jingxing - the person who mirrors her with different eyes and always smiles - rebels into the darkness.
There are only three years left in the Eclipse Club to pry open the seal at the bottom of the pond for the previous king. Chen Qichi only had three years to catch up with the falling boy.
She didn't know that there was a whole deck of cards sealed under the fate card instrument, and the water of Yutan flowed through Wang's body; she also didn't know that the blackened boy had her hidden in his heart - that was the only reason why he could be redeemed.
If she wins, peace will return to the mainland, and she will take over as its leader; if she loses, Yutan will have no king from now on.
In the darkness, the mouse is still ready to move.
