On the picturesque but closed and depressing Morning Star Island, 14-year-old Chen Ming lives in a cage called "Perfection". They were raised by their adoptive parents in a harsh and suffocating way, just to one day compete for the position of the island owner - that was their only hope of revenge and escape after they had a grudge against the island owner. Chen Ming is like a puppet with precise strings, until a shocking secret explodes like thunder: he is not his biological child, but one of the orphaned "ship children" who were orphaned by a mysterious ship that ran aground fourteen years ago. When the island owner election comes once every ten years, Chen Ming resists becoming a tool of his parents with determination. However, the taboo his parents inadvertently revealed - only the island owner knows how to leave the island - and the subsequent horrific changes dragged him into a deeper whirlpool. The strange scratching sounds and faint blue light outside the door late at night, the panic of parents nailing the doors and windows, and the ominous hints hidden in a gorgeous shell brooch that was lost... Chen Ming, who was forced to compromise and participate in the general election, struggled to survive in the brutal selection. After leaving the island, he was determined to find his parents, and his real journey began.
