The City of a Thousand Lights. That is what people call her, because no one remembers her original name anymore.
They only know that the lights in this city never go out, and that someone is always hard at work, day and night.
This is the most famous art capital on the continent.
Every year, every month, every day, artists come from far and wide, drawn by its fame, and begin an unending cycle of study and hard work.
Here, painters are always holding candles as they apply color to their canvases, sculptors are always clambering over statues to grind and hammer away, and architects are always gathering in the tallest library to measure their blueprints.
Yet the city's finest painter knows nothing of all this.
For years, he has been shut away in the highest tower of the city lord's palace, painting day and night, carrying out the tasks his master gives him.
Over and over, he recreates the memories in his mind and whispers the name he holds in his heart.

Theme:
It's great. I've always loved Western fantasy, but there are so few that I can read. Especially the super cute novels by the author Xiang Da are very rare. It's very enjoyable to read, and it doesn't make you feel dramatic at all. The dramatic effect is also very good. Come on, come on??
So... That is to say, the male protagonist is actually Ma Liang, a magic pen, and then his country was destroyed and he was sold to Thousand Deng City... After the city lord of Thousand Deng City knew about his ability, he locked him up and asked him to paint for him to satisfy his desires - wanting to become the new king or something... But the male protagonist did not It's not that he really doesn't know anything, he just lives in his own world, and the heroine lets him see the country he loves (his "inner world") become so... Bad, the world he protects in his heart collapses... So, he wants... Revenge? (Finally, revenge begins...) He made a painting and gave it to the king by the envoy. The painting actually showed the city of Thousand Lanterns being destroyed. The moment the king saw them, these pictures came true... So only the male protagonist and the female protagonist survived (is that so)... Hmm... It seems that the male protagonist loves his country very much, um, including his compatriots... But there is one thing that I don't understand. What does the male protagonist mean when he says going home in the end? … Wait a minute, I understand...! They both died together, right...! QAQ No one survived at all! It's just that he died last, watching everyone die and then died himself... Is WOC a tragedy again...? ! Although QAQ is very good and beautiful...
Then the end of the fifth chapter really poked me ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh QAQ and I feel sorry for the heroine... Why does the author always like to torture girls, both physically and mentally... I also feel that there are a lot of details that can be dug out, but they are all on the surface... I need to say it a little deeper. If you come, I will definitely complain about thousands of words... QAQ and my integration ability is not enough for me to make a profound summary... Ying Ying Ying I still need to exercise my ability in this area... Wait, I will work hard to write reviews after the exam, believe me!
Let's start practicing this ability by writing reviews... [Lie] I honestly think it's quite fun~
Alas, the subtle Tanmei atmosphere has been abandoned.
