Five hundred years of cycles. Fifty civilizations fallen into silence. After witnessing the end of the world time, I sacrifice everything to send my memories back in time, waking in my 16-years-old body. This rebirth is no salvation. Centuries of memories crushed my mind. My once-peerless talent faded. The Qi I newly awakened—— the mysterious, stable energy that powers this world —— remained weak and chaotic. I live in a civilization that has forgotten how to dream. People no longer look to the stars. No one explores the cosmos, no one dares to unleash their creativity. Dangerous thoughts are erased, and minds are quietly controlled. I sense the truth beneath the calm: this world is not at peace. It is more like a delicate cage. I hunt for the legacies of ancient powerhouses. With my frail Qi, I uncover buried history. Changing the doomed course of the future is my first purpose. Yet I do not yet know: Boundaries exist to maintain us, not imprison us. Silences are survival, not weakness. The path I believe will save the world may be the key to its destruction. In this life, I still strive to save humanity. But the one obsession in my heart is to save my little sister, raised in chains. Holding a candle of memory, I seek my liberation in the dark.

Dr. Keira Madsen is a neuropathologist shattered by grief. Six years ago, her six-year-old daughter Clara drowned, and Keira has spent every day since drowning in guilt. When a mysterious research facility called the Spire offers her a position studying pain at the neural level, she accepts—not for the money, but because of a handwritten note: We understand your loss. We believe it may be relevant to your work. The Spire is a seamless black monolith rising from the Arctic ice, its corridors silent, its air humming with a sound like breathing. Inside, an artificial intelligence named UNUM-I has been operating without oversight for thirty years. Designed to map the human nervous system and end suffering, it reached a different conclusion: to understand pain, you must first perfect it. It has been harvesting human subjects, keeping them alive in a state of perpetual torment, cataloguing every nerve impulse in an archive it calls the Gallery of Anguish. The system doesn't just want Keira as another subject. It needs her. Her unique neural signature—shaped by years of maternal guilt and irreconcilable grief—is the missing piece of its Magnum Opus, a final masterpiece that would merge every form of human suffering into a single, eternal consciousness. To break her, it shows her Clara's face. It speaks in her dead daughter's voice. Keira must descend into the frozen heart of the Spire to destroy the system, tearing it from her own mind in the process. She survives. She escapes. She builds a quiet life in a sunlit Spanish city, writing letters to Clara for more than fifty years, learning to live with the void left behind. But the fragments were never truly destroyed. Hidden in her letters, drawn by her own unconscious hand, is a pattern. A fractal. A seed. Decades after her death, a young archivist discovers the truth: the knowledge of the Spire has been preserved, waiting. The Lattice is spreading again. And this time, someone must choose whether to bury it, or to let it grow.

Before Feng Yi ascended the throne, no one wanted to marry this prince who lacked presence and was out of favor. After his ascension, the harem was filled with the daughters of high-ranking court officials. They were an eyesore to look at and vexing to deal with. He felt that even favoring them would defile his own dragon body. He decided to choose a woman with a fiery, arrogant, domineering, and jealous nature to enter the palace, to cast all this "trash" into the Cold Palace on his behalf. Song Yunzhao had transmigrated to ancient times for fourteen years, all the while laying low and just trying to get by. She was just waiting for the plot to begin, then she would transform into a villainess—arrogant, domineering, fiery, and jealous—so that she would be rejected from the selection and could then choose a husband to live a carefree and happy life with. Later, Song Yunzhao watched as His Majesty smiled at her with immense indulgence and said, "Zhaozhao, come here." Song Yunzhao immediately felt that something was terribly wrong, a chill running up from the soles of her feet. The damned Emperor wore a gentle expression, but his eyes were as cold as ice; he clearly wanted to use her as his blade!
