At that very moment, Xiao Chiye was standing outside the palace gates, gazing up at rooftops cast in shadow. The overhanging eaves of these vermilion walls seemed a trial given to him by the heavens. Beneath his frivolous mask, a ferocious beast writhed and howled in silence. In the Temple of Guilt, Shen Zechuan suddenly, strangely, understood the meaning behind Xiao Chiye’s actions.
He wanted to go home. 
He wanted to go home, proudly and honestly, as himself.

Extraordinary junk food of its kind. A bunch of factions who want to kill each other, long stretches of brooding, coded conversation that erupt into unspeakable violence, peak weird horniness.
