The line between good and evil was drawn long ago. Li Xun is about to burn it down.
Born into power and privilege as the heir of the noble Prince Fu, Li Xun should have lived a life of ease. Instead, thanks to his elders' reckless obsession with immortality, he was thrust headfirst into a nightmare—one where right and wrong blur, and survival depends on navigating the razor-thin line between both.
Living in the cracks, extremely cautious and fearful, this eight-year-old's heart is no longer innocent. While enduring threats from all sides, he must also bear the rules of a life-and-death game!
Trapped in an endless spiral of nightmares and the harshest of trials, Li Xun’s journey is no fairytale. It’s a brutal test of will, wit, and strength.
But maybe—just maybe—he’ll find a way to turn the game on its head. To carve his own path between righteousness and evil. To uncover the hidden truth behind the so-called righteous path… and the forbidden path to immortality that lies beneath it.
The world wants him to choose a side. He’ll choose his own.
