He was born mute-silenced from the very first breath. A prince trapped in a cage of silence, aching to be seen, to be heard, yet locked away by a world that refused to understand. For six long years, Yin endured a ruthless loneliness. Ignored, dismissed, and abandoned by Liang-the feared general who wielded power like a blade but treated Yin like a ghost. Cold eyes that never softened, a heart that never reached out. To Liang, Yin was nothing but a silent burden, a political pawn with no voice of his own. But beneath that silence, Yin's pain screamed louder than thunder-each day a battle to survive the weight of neglect and cruelty. Until one night, when despair crushed his fragile soul, and he chose to end the unbearable silence forever. But death was not the final escape. Because someone refused to let his story end in shadows. A spirit friend with the power to rewind time, to fight fate itself-determined to rewrite a cruel past, and paint a future where Yin's silent suffering finally breaks free. This is a tale of a mute prince's shattered heart and a ruthless general's cold walls-where love, pain, and redemption bleed into the colour of silence.
