After five years of marriage to a wealthy family, Lin Wan lived like a perfect puppet, until the carefully planned "cheating" live broadcast ripped a bloody hole in the Gu family's mask of hypocrisy. After escaping from the golden wire cage, she held her mother's relics in her hand and stepped into the fog under the guidance of the mysterious meticulous paintings and copper keys left by her late mother, the gardener Ruan Qiuhong.
Deep in the abandoned mines of Yezhuling, body bags are cold, yellowed files are shocking, old cases in the south of the city, miners' blood debts, the death of Ruan Qiuhong... The sins buried deep in the Gu family spread like poison ivy. In a desperate situation, she received a message from a mysterious "backer" codenamed "Black Star", but at the appointed place, she met Gu Lin, the uncle of the Gu family who had long been taboo and was rumored to be involved in a special profession.
Is he an ally, a planner, or another abyss? He took her deep into the more dangerous Black Water Ridge, two hundred meters below the earth's core, and revealed the Gu family's most terrifying secret - the "Raven" plan. His father, Gu Huaishan, actually wanted to make a jump in consciousness and "back up" and "transplant" his soul into a new container. Gu Yan, and even Gu Lin himself, were the chosen "perfect containers."
Explosion, betrayal, struggle for consciousness, aberrant monsters... Deep underground, in order to destroy the core "locked heart", Gu Lin jumped into the bright light of destruction in the fierce battle between his own consciousness and Gu Huaishan's "seed". The sky collapsed and everything was buried.
Three months later. Carrying blood-stained evidence, Lin Wan returned to the place where it all began on a full moon night - the abandoned theater in the south of the city, vowing to expose the Gu family's crimes to the public. And on the edge of the pit, a pale and thin figure with eyes as dead as the abyss returned from afar.
Roses stained with blood and riddled with thorns. This deadly game that began with conspiracy is coming to an end. The truth, revenge, redemption, and the spark that refuses to be extinguished in the ashes will all usher in the final judgment, or... Nirvana, under the moonlight.
Intent: A difficult journey of struggling to survive, seeking truth and redemption in darkness and blood.
