From the Embers: Lies and Rebirth in the Synergy Era

[In the Serenthiya continent, civilization is a carefully planned sacrifice. Under the superficially glamorous "Synergy Era", the two major civilizations of magic and technology are parasitic and devouring each other. The blood that maintains false peace is a resource called Star Marrow Crystal - for the magic side, it is a sacred object; for the technology side, it is an insatiable energy source. The "spiritual embers" produced by stripping away energy are quietly polluting the earth and distorting life. Pei Yichen, the heir to the technology giant Pei, originally only had to play the role of a rational and cold successor. Until he heard with his own ears the ghost of his uncle who "died accidentally" ten years ago during a black market auction, and issued a warning from a weeping spar: "Don't believe it..." Until he discovered that the cold experimental subject number XTY-01 in the family's top secret "Harvest Project" actually corresponded to his docile, quiet, magical fiancée who was about to marry him-Xie Tanyin. Is she a "bond" symbolizing peace, or a "sower" kept in captivity waiting to be harvested? Is the cornerstone of the rational order he believes in and created by his family already soaked in lies and blood? When the missing heir begins his desperate pursuit, when the "sacrifice" in the cage quietly opens his eyes, when the hunter on the edge of the Ashland quietly enters... A storm sweeping across the continent began with a trivial "accident" in the most sophisticated cage. This is the thorny road for betrayers to find the truth, and it is also the bloody dawn where "sacrifice" changes their destiny.
