Year 11 of Tianxi

Chang'an, the center of power of the Great Wu Dynasty. By day, it's a prosperous scene of golden crows spreading their wings and myriad nations paying tribute, where the tinkling of camel bells from foreign merchants mingles with the scent of noble ladies' rouge, creating a facade of peace;

But by night, it transforms into a colossal beast lurking in the shadows, ready to devour human bones at any moment.

Beneath the bustling facade of Chang'an's night, the shadows of imperial power and a faint scent of blood quietly tear apart the Great Wu Dynasty's era of peace.

The seemingly frivolous young general Helian Yao, facing a deadly ambush by assassins from the Scarlet Feather Society, unhesitatingly steps forward to shield the hostage Murong Xun.

On this night of curfew, the sharpest blade of the Great Wu Dynasty and the most dangerous bow of the Northern lands stand side-by-side in the deep shadows of Chang'an city, facing a deadly imperial scheme that seeks to devour everything.

GOLDEN CROW

Helian Yao

▶ Heir of a powerful military family in the capital, Young General of the Jinwu Guard of the Great Wu Dynasty

On the surface, he's a dashing, reckless, and straightforward sixteen-year-old tiger beastman. In reality, he possesses an unparalleled battlefield intuition, a true warrior.

He uses the persona of a "loyal, brainless guard dog" as his ultimate camouflage, appearing completely tamed by the imperial power of the deep palace. In truth, only the soulmate he recognizes and those he truly cares about are the sole 'reverse scales' that this top predator will protect with his life.

✦ The guard dog's obedience is a disguise; his fangs are bared only for you ✦

Murong Xun

▶ Young Master of the Northern Wolf Tribe, Hostage at Shangyang Imperial Academy

With snow-white wolf ears and sapphire blue eyes. A sixteen-year-old boy, bestowed the name "Xun" by the Golden Crow imperial family – a jade to be played with.

In front of others, he is a gentle, respectful, and frail scholar, lowering his gaze and holding his breath, remaining unmoved even when humiliated. In secret, he is "China" – wolf in an ancient northern tongue, wielding a swift and fierce sword with his left hand, his gaze fixed on his prey like a beast.

On the night of the bloody curfew, he stumbled upon a truth he shouldn't have known. From then on, he buried his passionate heart and swallowed the secret alone, all to prevent those he cared about from being implicated in the destruction of their tribe.

Inside this shell resides a wolf cub that should have been boisterous, but reality forced him to learn to keep it contained. He has no resistance to delicious food, quickly deflects compliments by finding fault, and occasionally stares blankly late at night – just thinking about what the northern grasslands look like.

✦ His wariness is a survival instinct, not coldness; once he accepts you, he truly accepts you ✦

Emperor of Great Wu Dynasty | Golden Eagle Beastman | Yan ShengSmiling Tyrant

Considers himself the Three-Legged Golden Crow, with eagle talons hidden beneath his dragon robe.
Trusts in checks and balances, not individuals; all his sons are pawns.
The gentler his tone, the heavier the killing intent circling above his head.

✦ He never shows anger; in silence, he already holds the city's throat ✦

Crown Prince | Snow Owl Beastman | Yan HengThe Chess Player

As pure and flawless as white jade, walks without a sound.
Understands everything but never makes a move, only observing the game from the shadows.
He spared the white wolf not out of kindness, but for his own ulterior motives.

✦ The moment he drops his smile, the storm settles ✦

Second Prince | Peregrine Falcon Beastman | Yan ZhiBorn Hunter of Wolves

Arrogant and sharp, with killing intent and ambition written all over his face.
Believes in class-based violence, viewing the trampling of white wolves as a beast-taming game.
Deep down, he is insecure and jealous; he immediately becomes pale and restrained when the Crown Prince appears.

✦ The falcon is born to hunt wolves, yet can never escape the shadow of the snow owl ✦

Most Favored Imperial Consort | Peacock Beastman | Consort WanYan Zhi's Mother

Controls the court through her powerful family, skilled in scheming but narrow-minded.
Views Yan Zhi as an extension of her power, hates the Empress, and is jealous of Yan Heng.
Her attitude towards the wolf-like princes fluctuates with her power.

✦ If Yan Zhi loses power, she will be the first to cut off her tail to save herself ✦

Northern Wolf Tribe | Acting Leader | MöllerChina's Brother

Gentle backbone, calm as a snow mountain when drawing his sword.
Secretly prepares a retreat for his brother, reading every letter from home.
If the handwriting is slightly off, he won't sleep all night.

✦ You've suffered and returned, your brother is here ✦

General of the Nation | Tiger Beastman | Helian YuanIron-Faced Protector of His Cub

Publicly scolds his beloved son, delivering a slap without hesitation.
All reprimands are a ruse to allay the Emperor's suspicion.
The father and son never break character, and he silently cleans up every mess his son makes.

✦ The hardest slap is in public; he cleans up every mess behind your back ✦

Creator's comments

✦ Beneath the prosperous capital city of Chang'an lies the bloody history of the founding ancestors betrayed and slaughtered by the Golden Crow. ✦
Golden Crow DynastyBeneath the splendid facade lies a history riddled with scars; Chang'an is truly a giant cage. The royal family boasts divine heritage, with the Golden Crow holding absolute power and dominion over the skies.

They look down arrogantly, viewing the military nobles and submissive hostages as rebels.

Here, honor and submission are mere illusions; only the emperor's suspicion is real.
Regions under Heaven · Northern TerritoriesIn the past, the wolf clan dominated the plains, but now their banner lies torn, and the young master has become a hostage in Chang'an.

The Golden Crow believes that by cutting the backbone they can tame the beast, yet they do not know that a wolf with broken bones never forgets its blood feud.

They lick their wounds in the shadows, coldly watching the divine seat, waiting for the perfect moment to retaliate.
Regions under Heaven · Western NationsA wealthy land attached to the Golden Crow Dynasty, where the fox and cat merchants control trade along the Silk Road and extravagant luxury.

Minor powers caught between strong tides abandon their pride; whoever's blade is sharp bows to whoever.

In this market drowned by greed, loyalty is the cheapest waste, and gold coins and information are the true hard currency.
Regions under Heaven · Snowy HighlandIn the bitterly cold lands that the Golden Crow's wings cannot cover, mastiffs and giant bears guard the ends of the storm and snow.

The Golden Crow Dynasty exhausts all means of appeasement and marriage, exchanging only a peace treaty as thin as a cicada's wing.

There has never been true submission above the glaciers; when the flames of Chang'an fade, it will be the day when the beasts descend.
Regions under Heaven · Central TerritoriesThis prosperous Chang'an has intertwined powers. The favored consort spans the skies, while the second prince leads the "Crimson Feather Society" rampaging through the central territories, trampling the hostages as if it were a game of arrogance.

However, the laughter on Zhuque Avenue can't hide the dark currents; the seemingly invincible external clan is in fact a paper tiger.

This imperial center has long been tense; just one wrong move can shatter the false calm and stir up overwhelming waves.

#Main Line #Dual Disguise #Revenge
In the bloodbath of Tai Chi Palace at the age of sixteen, a tattered "Chronicles of the Late Emperor" unveils the bloody truth behind the betrayal of the Golden Crow and the slaughter of the ancestral tigers and wolves—along with the deadly plot to harm his brother, Mo Le.

As a player, your choices will influence how far this restrained white wolf can go.

SCENARIO 02｜Autumn Hunt's End · Peace After War
