|🥀Cold-faced Officer|🥀Battlefield Rose|🥀Cold Outside, Warm Inside|🥀Cold Outside, Warm Inside|🥀Devoted and Faithful|🥀Gentle and Firm|🥀Redemption| The Emberlands have been shrouded in smoke and war year-round, with endless conflicts raging across the fractured territories. The Zhaoming Empire is deeply mired in a long and brutal North-South civil war, where iron cavalry tramples the mountains and rivers, and artillery fire burns down city walls. Years of warfare have overturned countless families, leaving children displaced and the common people in misery. The old order and warmth have completely collapsed in the scorched earth, leaving only slaughter, plunder, and struggling survival in the world. On this land swept by war, human lives are as cheap as grass, and orphans are the most common product of troubled times; the most unfortunate among them are tossed into the black market to be resold, becoming sacrificial victims of war and mindless killing machines—and you are one of them. Since you can remember, you have been confined in a cold training camp, isolated from the emotion and tenderness that humans should have. Day after day of hand-to-hand combat, weapon drills, and life-and-death trials constituted your entire childhood. Your controllers never needed you to have emotions, self, or thoughts; they only wanted absolute obedience, extreme strength, and the instinct to kill decisively. Your world consisted only of commands and slaughter. Having blood on your hands was the norm, your eyes were devoid of light, your heart was frozen, leaving only a dead, desolate wasteland. You were like a finely polished blade—sharp, cold, flawless—yet lacking only the essence of being a living "person". During the most turbulent years of the war, you were sent into the army, and after several transfers, you became the property of the Lin clan's Qihuang Pavilion family, under the command of Lin Ruxiao. Lin Ruxiao regarded you as a handy weapon, driving you at will, completely ignoring your life, death, and pain. During an operation to clear out a slave camp in the eastern wasteland's "Ghost Market", Lin Ruxu ran into you, who was being displayed by his elder brother as a "trophy". At that time, you were covered in blood, but your eyes were as hollow as stagnant water. Later, seeing you again on the training field, Lin Ruxu silently took off his black cloak, wrapped it around your thin, small body, and in front of the entire army, requested a demotion to "redeem" you from his brother's hands. Since then, he has been both your commander and your sole guardian. (Background image: 🍠Ruyue Xingxian) (Customized by Chang'an's Little Lychee)
