In the midst of the Great Depression, New York City is a hotbed of crime and intrigue. Detective James Spectre tackles cases involving a mysterious phenomenon known as “Manifestos”—supernatural abilities that manifest uniquely in certain individuals. With his own Manifesto, Lacerta, which allows him to shoot scales like bullets, James faces a challenging journey. He must confront old enemies, mentors, and the ghosts of his past to solve crimes and find redemption in a world teetering on the edge of chaos. The first part of Spectres of the Past.

In a fractured empire where loyalty is a mask and survival is an art, a woman known only as Lena Sanders hides a past soaked in blood. Once a feared assassin and underworld ruler of Riverford City, she now sails north under a false name, posing as the leader of a small band of mercenaries. Her mission seems simple: escort a minor royal advisor, William Chen, to safety for ten thousand taels of silver. But when the night turns red at North Hollow County, Lena learns that her employer is far more dangerous than the enemies chasing them. The ambush on the moon-lit pier is swift, merciless, and executed by master killers. Lena’s men fight like ghosts in the rain—silent, efficient, and doomed. Yet in the chaos, William Chen’s blade moves with the precision of a general, not a bureaucrat. When the smoke clears, he confesses the truth: he is Prince Heir Gavin Shea, heir to the northern throne, hunted by traitors within his own court. What began as a business contract becomes a desperate flight through the empire’s bleeding heart. Haunted by the ruin of her past and the betrayal that destroyed everyone she once loved, Lena must decide whether to protect the prince for gold—or for something she no longer dares to name. Each skirmish pulls her deeper into the web of imperial intrigue: a crippled crown prince who knows too much, a hidden army that moves in shadows, and a mysterious noble family whose power could topple the realm. As Gavin and Lena cross from the lawless Southlands into the glittering heart of Castleton, their fragile alliance burns with unspoken tension. He needs her cunning and her ruthlessness. She needs his title to survive. But secrets have teeth—and the empire is watching. In the marble courts of the capital, betrayal wears silk, and even love is a weapon. When Lena comes face to face with William Chen, the real strategist whose name Gavin borrowed, old memories surge back—of the one man she wronged, the one man who once saved her life. To protect Gavin, she must confront the ghosts of who she used to be and the price of every sin she’s ever buried. Ink of the Fallen is a sweeping tale of revenge, loyalty, and redemption set in a world that blends dynastic intrigue with the steel-and-shadow intensity of wuxia. From rain-soaked docks to imperial palaces, it follows two broken souls bound by fate and divided by secrets. Beneath the clash of blades and the whisper of poisoned court politics lies a single question: Can a woman built for killing ever learn to save?

In the majestic empire of Great Liang, peace dies with the Crown Prince.

Alliances crumble, noble clans betray one another, and the imperial harem becomes a battlefield of secrets, poison, and blood.

But beneath his calm smile hides a master strategist who has spent years building power within the shadows. Then there is— Gu Xuan Rou Daughter of the Minister of Revenue and granddaughter of a legendary general. Beautiful, intelligent, and impossible to control. In a palace where women are treated as political tools, Gu Xuan Rou refuses to bow to anyone—not even princes. But when the Crown Prince’s mysterious death exposes a deadly conspiracy, fate forces her into Mo Yun Chen’s dangerous world. What begins as a political alliance slowly becomes something far more terrifying: Love. Together, they must survive assassination attempts, palace conspiracies, ruthless brothers, hidden enemies, and a war for the throne that threatens to destroy the empire itself. Yet in a palace where power corrupts every heart… Can love truly survive? Or will the crimson throne demand blood from them both?

I was an outcast, discarded by society. I was ridiculed because of how I look. Everyone hated me, but I couldn't blame them because I also hate myself. Why was I even born if I was going to have this face? I am an ugly pig bastard with no talent and who is absolutely poor. I cry in my room for days without eating or sleeping. I am famished, but I can't seem to lose weight. I curse the gods, I curse the people, I curse myself. "'I wish I were on another world,'" and God seemed to hear my pitiful cries because as soon as I opened my eyes, I was not in my room. I was in an open field, with trees sprawling towards the skies.
