Liu Xian grew up under the weight of hate, a boy marked by whispers and trembling fingers that called him cursed. He’d always known he was different, how could he not, when his first breath had stolen his mother’s last? Yet beyond the edges of his grief and guilt, there was a place he didn’t yet know — an academy for those like him, for souls burdened with power and sin alike. A place, he believed, where he might finally belong. But hope is a cruel illusion. Sometimes, the hell you know is far kinder than the heaven you dream of. ˖⁺‧₊˚˚₊‧⁺˖˖⁺‧₊˚˚₊‧⁺˖˖⁺‧₊˚˚₊‧⁺˖

Zhao Wei’s life had finally started to turn around—after two years of constant rejection, he’d just landed a job at one of the top companies in the city. But before he could even celebrate, a split-second decision to save a high schooler attempting to jump off a roof ended with both of them plummeting down.

They clung to him like old friends, feeding on his resolve, urging him forward. He didn’t need their encouragement—this was what he had become. A knight once sworn to protect. A man once burdened by weakness. But here, in this world where survival ruled and hesitation meant death, Luka was something else entirely. _____ Please do give the first chapter a read before deciding if it's worth your time or not ;)
