Summary
The King, Sheng Shaoyou, is a demon wearing a crown. Paralyzed by the trauma of past betrayal, the mad king takes a new groom to his bed, only to have them slaughtered by dawn. One hundred sons of noble blood have died.
To stop the kingdom from bleeding dry, Huayong, the Lord Chancellor’s son, volunteers to be the 101st bride. He walks into the lion's den armed with an unreadable mask and a mind full of fables. To stay out of the executioner’s hand, Huayong spins a captivating tale, leaving it unfinished as the sun rises. One night buys him another.
For a thousand nights, Huayong uses his stories to soothe the tyrant's fractured mind, slowly turning a monster back into a man. But as the thousand and first night approaches, Huayong realizes his well of imagination is completely dry.
With no words left to protect him, Huayong must finally face the beast in the dark, and discover if the King has truly learned how to love, or if the storytelling was the only thing keeping him alive.
