THE WORLD IS A LIE.

This is the romantic empire of the novel named "My White Jasmine," where love and destiny ensure the heroes’ victory. But for Zichen, it’s a gilded prison. Every polite smile hides a knife; every whispered rumor is a plot point leading to his execution. The story demands a villain. It has chosen him.

In his place is a man who looks at you with desperate, clumsy loyalty and soul-deep fear. A man who seems to know a secret too terrible to name. The final piece on your board has changed. And the game for the throne has just become a game for survival.
