“When you open your eyes, I’ll always be by your side.”

In the pre-dawn hours while everyone is asleep, a shocking massacre takes place in the Lapis Empire.

Executor Gideon discovers a girl who, like fate itself, is the only survivor at the scene.

One day, Jenna suddenly flies into the executor’s office and starts following him around like a baby bird seeing its mother for the first time after hatching.

Before long, she becomes an irreplaceable existence to him, more precious than life itself.

But a huge trial descends upon the two of them...

“Jenna, I don’t want to hurt you...”“Even if I have to make everyone my enemy, I’ll stand by Gideon’s side until the very end.”

To save each other, the two of them shoulder enormous trauma,

but they did not yet know then.

They were people who should never have met,

and that immense secrets were entwined between them and the Lapis Empire...

A story of Jenna and Gideon, who transcend fate and death, in the Lapis Empire where everyone carries a ‘light of the soul’ in their chest.
