Night Walk in Dayu

The sky shattered, foul air poured in, and the Dayu dynasty was on the verge of collapse. Everyone thought the 'Night Watchmen' were just ordinary constables enforcing the curfew, unaware that they were actually guarding against the hearts of people who mutated into 'monsters' in the dark. Lu Zhao, a lowly 'gray rat' of the Seam Mending Bureau, accidentally obtained a ledger that could see the 'fate' of all things. He discovered that beneath this prosperous capital lay a massive living human altar. The national preceptor sought to ascend to immortality during the blood moon, the crown prince turned into a demon in nightmares every night, and the empress on high seemed no longer human... Lu Zhao stood with his blade in the night, behind him the lights of ten thousand homes, before him an abyss. 'If the sky goes dark, I will cut through the long night.'
