He's going to die because he saw something he shouldn't have.
On the execution platform, poison wine burns down his throat, yet the pupils of Ji Feiran, the crown prince of the fallen Dayu Empire, flare with a fire that can reduce all to ashes. He survives, assumes the alias "Lin Xuan," and infiltrates the lowest-ranked Ding Court of the Divine Martial Academy. There, he discovers that he is caught between two bloodlines: the soul of the imperial clan and the bloodline of the spirit-vein descendants. With a single glance, he can see the death points of all things; with a single thought, he can burn away the filth of a corrupt world. But every time he uses this power, he forgets a part of "himself."
At the Divine Martial Academy, he is an obscure servant. Beneath a dry well, he is a night watchman who guards against corruption with his blade. As he travels through the Nine Provinces, eight foreign races and corrupted beasts reveal a thousand-year conspiracy at his feet. When the Purification Church's witch-hunting flames draw near, and the ministers controlling the corrupt world show their true faces, he finally understands that his Ashen Mirror Eyes were born to burn away a world that has been rewritten.
A fallen crown prince's journey to rebuild his realm, paid for with his memories.
Ji Feiran, son of the last tyrant of the Dayu Empire, awakens the Ashen Mirror Eyes as he is poisoned on the execution platform. He discovers that he is caught between the imperial soul and the bloodline of the spirit-vein descendants. He disguises himself to cultivate at the Divine Martial Academy, joins the Demon Suppression Bureau to guard against corruption, and travels the Nine Provinces to uncover conspiracies. On the brink of forgetting who he is, he topples the ministers and the Purification Church that control the corrupt world, revives the Mother Tree, and seals the indescribable. With the iron will of a "tyrant," he burns away a world that has been rewritten.
