Xue Nuo, the youngest child of the Cletis family, was hailed as the empire's brightest jewel.
Bright, gentle, elegant, he embodied every virtue expected of a young nobleman.
However, during a secret mission, a mistake by the imperial military caused him to die in the cold sea of stars.
After his death, the Cletis family fell into decline.
Five years later.
The war in the sea of stars grew more severe. At some point, the enemy ranks gained a seventh seat: cold, sharp, and like a gleaming blade of ice.
Rumor had it that this Seventh Seat was a human weapon on the battlefield, every move deadly and every step a threat.
With him on their side, the enemy grew stronger, the tide turned, and the empire suffered defeat after defeat.
Then, during one clash, the wind lifted the veil covering half the young man's face.
Revealing the refined, indifferent face of Cletis Xue Nuo.
His mental domain had been utterly destroyed. He had lost all his memories and emotions, brainwashed by the enemy into a blade that followed orders and nothing else.
-
When the Cletis family learned what had happened, they nearly went mad.
After countless hardships, the family finally brought their youngest child home, only to face a new crisis.
Xue Nuo's mental domain was damaged, leaving him unable to accept the truth. Conflicting information instead made him lose control of his mind. At times he was confused and childlike, at others cold and resistant. He treated his family as enemies and stubbornly wanted to return to the villain's side.
He raised such a ruckus at home that everything was turned upside down. After Xue Nuo had spent the day making trouble and finally wore himself out, his older brother tucked him into bed, and only then did he obediently go to sleep.
But that warmth was only on the surface. The family searched high and low for therapists and mental-domain specialists, trying again and again, only to fail each time.
Xue Nuo huddled in a loved one's arms, drenched in cold sweat, his gaze unfocused, pale and silent like a beautiful empty shell. His family had to soothe and comfort him over and over before his lashes trembled and his mind briefly returned.
This was the enemy's attempt to destroy him from within, and a carefully planned death trap.
The Cletis family's fury would burn through the entire sea of stars.
