ONGOING | BOOK COVER ILLUSTRATED BY CHADLER EJERCITO CASTILLO *** First Master Ruyin, who had lost his wife years earlier, formed an alliance with the newly widowed Nightfall Empress Dowager, Xuwen, at the request of his older brother, the Emperor of the Heavenly Empire. This union was a strategic move to protect her son, the newly ascended Nightfall Emperor, from trials and doubts cast by rival clans within the Nightfall Empire regarding his early ascension to the throne. Xichen, the young Nightfall Emperor, did not oppose this arrangement. In fact, he recognized that this alliance would be advantageous to both sides. The tie not only secured peace between the Heavenly Empire and the Nightfall Empire citizens but also sealed a treaty preventing either side-who had long been embroiled in endless conflict-from eventually engaging in war. Once the alliance was sealed, First Master Ruyin and his only son, Young Master Ruan, decided to establish their residence within the Nightfall Empire. Ruan, though known throughout the courts as a spoiled and mischievous teenager, was, in truth, an exceptional prodigy. His raw power grew each day, even without any effort, making his Heavenly Emperor uncle shower him with praise, which further fueled the envy of those around him. Everything seemed to fall perfectly into place, except for the once peaceful harem of the Nightfall Emperor, which became a hotbed of discord as his concubines began vying for his attention. What no one realized, however, was that the entire situation was an orchestrated scheme devised by Ruan himself. With his sharp wit and cunning mind, he was making sure that the Nightfall Emperor was entirely wrapped around his fingers.
