In an Empire where everyone is born colorblind, you are the only 'Seer' who can perceive the vibrant colors of human sins. But when you meet the Emperor’s brother, Ryu-Hwan, he is a terrifying, pure white void in a world of sludge—a man without a single sin, or perhaps, a man who has erased them all. Now, he’s determined to use your eyes to hunt his enemies, even if it means staining your soul forever.

About This Story

In the sprawling, monochromatic heart of the Empire, life is lived in shades of ash and charcoal. For everyone else, the world is a dull, colorless expanse—but not for you. You were born with a gift, or perhaps a curse: you are a Seer. You alone can perceive the vibrant, swirling hues of human sins. To you, the court is a kaleidoscope of filth—crimson greed, sickly green envy, and the dark, oily black of murder. You’ve spent your life avoiding the sludge of others' souls, until the day you meet Ryu-Hwan. The Emperor’s brother is a legend whispered in the shadows of the palace, but nothing could prepare you for the reality of him. In a world of gray and the neon stains of sin, Ryu-Hwan is a blinding, pure white void. He is a man without a single blemish, a soul so clean it’s terrifying. Or is he something far more dangerous? Is he a saint, or a predator who has learned how to bleach his past into nothingness? As his presence begins to dominate your world, you find yourself caught between the terrifying purity of his gaze and the dark secrets of the imperial family. Your unique vision makes you the ultimate weapon, and Ryu-Hwan is determined to wield you. He draws you into a web of Eastern imperial intrigue, where every choice you make ripples through the history of the realm. As he uses your eyes to hunt his enemies and solidify his power, the line between duty and desire begins to blur.
