Mask of Face

EsraRyrn
In the flourishing yet perilous Northern Liang Empire, masks are safer than faces. Murong Chen, the emperor's ninth son and King of Jing'an, lives like a winter peak-still, distant, and untouchable. He skips court, ignores academy rules, and collects titles and rewards without asking. To the people he is the Cold Prince; to ministers, the devil's incarnation; to siblings, a spoiled brat. Yet behind his calmness lies a secret poison that freezes his blood each month-Black Lotus Frost, an incurable toxin born before his first breath. The emperor shields him, the empress mourns him in silence, and the crown prince-his closest brother-protects his secret from the empire's eyes. Is Murong Chen a pampered son, a troublemaker, or a storm in disguise? In a palace where truth is dangerous, the only one who knows the answer is the prince himself.

In time, Jurgen would grow greatly in the power he had been pursuing and uncover the true source of his hatred as well as his history. However, understanding it did not alter his direction. Instead, he chose to continue forward on the same path, no longer driven by ignorance but by conscious intent. From that point onward, he evolved beyond a mere criminal into something far more absolute, becoming a tyrannical existence shaped by awareness, conviction, and the refusal to turn back…
