A boy who had a front row seat to one of the most controversial theory you have ever heard.

"I spoke to the devil in the Forsaken Lands. He told me everything would be fine."

Ethan Yu, young master of the Yu clan in Qingyang City, underwent the bloodbone test at five. The stele gave no response, and from that day on he was branded with worthless bones. If he could not cultivate, he would study the hearts of men. If he could not wield a blade, he would wield the ledgers. The world saw only a sickly boy who hid in his mother's courtyard. No one knew that beneath Qingyang City, an Ink Tower had already begun to take root—spirit talismans, intelligence, resources, covert agents: all flowed through the boy's hands. At nine, Ethan Yu awakened a remnant soul within a fragment of lightning-marked bone. The soul called himself Lord Drake—sharp-tongued, greedy, and shamelessly fond of dirty tricks. Yet for nine years, he stood beside Ethan Yu in the darkness, battling the nameless force suppressing his body. On the night of his eighteenth birthday, Ethan Yu finally pushed open the first gate of cultivation. One week later, at the Yu clan tournament, the former cripple stepped onto the stage. Only then did everyone understand— The boy they had mocked for thirteen years had never once bowed to fate. His childhood companion Alice Lin is taken away by the Blazing Sun Royal Manor. The gates of the Xuanyang Martial Academy open. And with them, the secrets of the bloodbone, the Curse of Heaven's Rejection, the River of Time, and the imperial shadows of ages past slowly begin to emerge.

In the dense night of The Spire on Vesper Island— Beside a Benz, a handsome, composed, and dignified man lifted a striking beauty in a red dress with one arm, pressing her against the car door and lowering his head for a deep kiss. In the faint light and shadow, the woman's flowing hair was swept by the wind, wrapping around the man's finger, which wore a pinky ring.

The eldest son of Vicenza's Rhodes Family—low-profile and inscrutable, cold and untamable, and also the powerful contemporary authority of The Vesper Circle. And the alluring, glamorous belle by his side was none other than Stella Sterling. When the street photo spread to the mainland, everyone excitedly exclaimed: "The case is solved, the case is solved—"
