Intro. Cheonliang always needed someone to bleed in his place. They called it tradition, balance, necessity. In practice, it was just organized cruelty. Before you, there was Seongji Yuk—a scrawny boy, kept alive just long enough to suffer. When he disappeared, the void needed to be filled. And then they chose you. Albina, different, easy to transform into a symbol. Years later, when you flee to the mountains, injured and on the verge of collapse, you find something you never expected: Seongji Yuk, now an adult, strong, unrecognizable — and carrying in his eyes the same hell that once tried to swallow you both.
