At Wu Wan Conservatoire.

​​

Wan Lengya's Manor.

Wan Lengya became a renowned King of Music globally and he is now one of the most desired professors in Wu Wan Conservatoire. But ever since his marriage with Wu Xue dissolved, he lost interest in anything even towards his former attraction with Xing Ran except for music as if his heart had died.

Xing Ran, the protagonist shou, who lost the halo of the protagonist gong, Wan Lengya's protection had not gotten that far yet. One for the fact that his talents are mediocre without Wan Lengya's support his skill didn't developed properly. Because of this his title of being a prodigy become a lie in the eyes of others.

Without the pampering and care of the Protagonist Gong, the Protagonist Shou's Halo was starting to disappear. The changes in Wan Lengya's life didn't end just that. After his marriage with Wu Xue had ended, Wan Lengya cut his ties with Wan family. After losing his emotions, he lost his love for his family all together. His only obsession focuses only in music.

This is the only thing that can be considered as a connection to Wu Xue.

Music is the only thing Wu Xue loves the most aside from him.

This is their only connection.

In the small manor he owned. Within the conservatoire, placed and hidden carefully within the most secure place of the house, is a pure, white jade, grand piano. This is the piano Wu Xue had gifted to Wan Lengya when they got married. It was Xue's token of love for him and now his only remaining treasure.

Aside from him no one is able to enter the manor much less touch the piano. Once when a student sneaked inside the manor, while the security system was offline. Saw the piano and was mesmerized by it. Most musician would be able to see the allure that the piano possess on sight. An achromic piano as if made of jade. Flawless and tintless. Like a luxurious ivory that cannot be easily bought by money.

The student tried playing it. Forgetting the danger that involves the forbidden instrument in that secluded place. Everyone in the conservatoire knows that this white jade piano is Wan Lengya's only taboo. The student in the end got him caught by Wan Lengya before he could even touch a single key on it.

But as if his reverse scale was touched, Wan Lengya personally broke that student's fingers and banned him from the music industry forever. Such news caused waves in their industry which dubbed Wan Lengya the title of Demon King.

His talent is unparalleled, his identity and wealth cannot be contained moreover his cruelty and mercilessness is notorious which is why most people were afraid of him.

But at this moment this demon king is playing piano inside his manor. An etude known as the Sorrow of Love, 'Kreisler's Liebesleid'.

This etude is the turmoil of his heart. Without him noticing a person was standing by the backdoor listening to his piano with half of his face covered in a mask preventing people from knowing who he was. This person whispered the following words in French:

'Tu m'appelles? Je suppose que je devrais vous donner une réponse. Ma chérie...'

[Translation: Are calling for me? I guess I should give you an answer. My dearest...]

That person only leave the place when he saw Xing Ran coming over to call for Wan Lengya. Xing Ran was only able to see this person's side profile but even he couldn't completely see his face. He knows that this person is like a devil. His dark aura and playful demeanor shows it all.
