In The Dust With Night

Shen Yanzhou, a top architect in the industry, is the embodiment of calm precision. To the world, he is flawless—disciplined, distant, and untouchable. But beneath the perfect surface lies a man haunted by memories and sleepless nights, unable to build a home within himself.
