The Stage of Dying Embers

The old opera stage has gathered dust for years, yet every night it lights up with song and performance.

Standing at its center, Chen Xiyun realizes that the world itself is a grand play, and all living beings are puppets.

The script is written by cause and effect, the stage is a prison, and the fate of every performer was set a thousand years ago.

Layer upon layer of eerie mysteries slowly emerge with the beat of the drums. Each bizarre murder is entangled with the old opera and the art of puppetry.

The heroine is bound by no romantic attachments or family ties. On the stage, the performers question cause and effect, investigating the truth both within and beyond the play as they try to escape a fate already written for them.

Only later does he understand: once you step into this play, no one can easily leave.
