Ren Lei is the fourth son of a minor noble family and the son of a concubine to boot. Being born a cripple, the only thing he has is beauty; beauty that caused him much suffering growing up in a house where no-one loved him.

As if that wasn't enough, he was about to be sold off in a political marriage to a woman who had everything he didn't, the Princess of the Ether Cloud City, full of not only beauty but with immense talent in profound cultivation. 

Refusing to submit to his fate, as a final act of rebellion, in a desperate bit to retake what little control he had over his own life, he chooses to consume poison and commit suicide.

However, the fates are not so kind to those that would try to change it. He survives but suffers from a strange condition that causes his soul to separate from his body. As he slowly loses the constrains of a physical body, he is forced to look at himself more closely and recognise who he truly is. Not only must he struggle against the destiny devised for him but also his true nature: a calamity whose howl will wipe the slate of an era clean, ushering in a new dark age.

The Wolf of a Dark Age

"Yes. Fly." The 14th Prince's voice entered the spy's ears. "Do you not find them annoying? Always buzzing about; being in places they shouldn't be in... Listening to things they shouldn't be listening to?"

"I sure do. Especially the human sized fly standing next to that window over there. It's even wearing black robes like it's a person. Isn't that annoying?"

Hearing the prince's words, the spy's heart immediately sank. I was discovered? She thought in shock. Such a thing had never happened before, after all. Even people far stronger than the prince hadn't been able to detect her spying on them, but he was able to? How did he do it?

"I know you're there. Come in, why don't we speak face to face?" The young prince's voice appeared in the spy's ears once more.

Only Almost?
