【First Life: Born as the son of a marquis, you were labeled a remnant of the Witch King. Your parents were brutally killed, and you were cast into the streets.】

【That day, having lost everything, you made a vow—to use blood as your ink and the nation as your canvas, and let your shadow consume the rule of the Twin Empresses!】
