Sataou wasn't chasing glory. He had a sharp mind, a relaxed spirit, and a place in the Shengu Sect—earned more through quiet dedication than burning ambition.

And when that balance is broken, what remains loses what makes it human. The Void is endless. The Void is absence. The Void is all. The Void does not forgive.

But when the leaders of her world claim her as a bride, the illusion shatters. Guided by heresy and servitude, Mira uncovers the truth beneath her holy markings. She is not a leader; she is a vessel. Her "blessings" are designed to siphon her hopes for the good of the nation.
