In a village swallowed by whispers and myths long buried, Ren—a mute monk with silver eyes—rings a sacred bell that hasn't tolled in centuries. Across the forest, Aya arrives, searching for her missing twin… and finds a curse instead. As ink begins to bleed from the temple walls and dreams turn to memories that don’t belong to her, one truth becomes undeniable: silence is not peace. It’s a prison. And something ancient is waking inside it.
Bound by fate across lifetimes, Aya and Ren are pulled into a quiet war beneath bamboo skin, where love becomes a weapon and remembering could kill them both. In a cycle of rebirth, betrayal, and sacrifice, their only hope is to choose differently this time… but every choice costs blood.
