what the fire left behind (hualian)

"It's blue."
"What?"
"The sky - it's blue. And at night it's black with glitter-like lights all over it. It has always been that way. The dome makes it look grey, but it isn't. It was all a lie, Gege, they lied to us this whole time."
"How can you be so sure?"
"... I just am."

Long ago, the world burned with war. It was so devastating that people later called it The Great War. Though the enemy was defeated, the consequences could not be fixed. From the few who survived, a city named BaiXiu arose. With the last of their magic, they built a dome around it, to protect the land from a world consumed by cursed energy, deadly creatures, and toxic sorcery. Nowadays, people live peacefully, following the rules.
... Which of the following was a lie? Is there a lie to begin with? Is there any truth?
Xie Lian grew up in the dome, unaware of all the secrets it kept locked. When realization hits him he'll have to fight against it with all his power. Who knew he'll also fall in love on the way? Meet his old friends?
