​In the ancient and ruthless Xuan Yu Sect, power is the only currency that matters. When the Sect Leader’s firstborn, Ming Ping, was born into the world’s most elite lineage, a thousand expectations rested on his shoulders. But the moment his eyes opened to reveal a milky, sightless void, those hopes shattered. To his father, a blind son wasn't an heir—he was a defect.

​For eighteen years, Ming Ping had been the silent casualty of a broken home. His birth tore his parents apart: a father who views him with murderous disappointment and a mother whose love has curdled into a suffocating, desperate ambition. Protected only by his mother’s fierce defiance, Ming Ping has survived in a world of predators, quietly cultivating a talent that no one—least of all his father—suspects.

​Now, the fragile peace was breaking. His mother demanded he should claim the title of Holy Son, a position of supreme power that his father would burn the sect down than grant him.

​But Ming Ping has a secret. In the darkness of his world, he has seen things the sighted cannot comprehend. He doesn't want the throne for his mother’s pride or his father’s approval—he wants it because he was the only one who knew the storm that was coming.
