✧ "Before the first chapter opens, I need to tell you something. This isn't the same Candle Eyed Long Night you may have read before. What you are about to hold is its tightened heart—every word chosen more carefully, every shadow drawn deeper, every silence pressed sharper.
Here, in the 灰血林 (Huīxiě Lín | Ash-Blood Forest), you won't simply read—you'll feel the weight of the air, the whispers carried by ash, and the quiet footsteps that never fully fade. The rituals, the bonds, the scars—they will unfold with more precision, and with edges that cut closer to the truth.
Why this version? Because some stories deserve to be reborn until they breathe the way they were always meant to. And this time, I want you to walk with me more closely than before.
Your presence here means more than I can ever write. Every moment you choose to stay, every word you read, every small support you give—it all becomes the lifeline that keeps this night from fading away.
So if your heart answers, even in the smallest way, hold on. Don't let go. Let's carve this path together until the last candle goes out."
All the best for the new experience ♡
