Synopsis
Every villain here was once a broken hero’s child; every villain, once tender enough to be broken. They rose to protect, yet destroyed what they loved with trembling hands. Love itself became the blade softly pressed to the throat, cutting slow as devotion turned to curse. In the hush between vows and betrayal, power and longing entwined— a bond so deep it rotted every soul it touched. Each tale begins gently, with hope cupped in trembling palms. But darkness follows in the wake of every choice, and every whispered vow carries a blade at the throat. The heroes are no saints; the villains no monsters. Only broken children, grown into creatures of legend, destined to tear down and rebuild their world—again and again. This is no garden of saints or demons—only burning kings and bruised hearts. Where every promise bruises, every silence poisons, and every legend must bleed before it lives. A psychological dark fantasy where love battles madness, desire hides danger, and the line between victim and villain disappears. Genres: Dark Fantasy • Psychological • Supernatural • Emotional BL • Super slow burn • Mixed culture (mainly Chinese & Japanese) • Worldwide (Warning: Mature themes, trauma, and sensual tension. Not your typical BL.) — This is not a story about lust. It is about scars, soul ties, and dangerous longing. Expect hurt, healing, hauntingly beautiful. “Eyes talk louder than the tongue.” — Eyes of Broken Lilies : the untamed “Who do I call black and white... when both hide each other beneath?” — The white masked as black “After raising you hidden inside this Baiyun and carrying the weight of this crown ribbon... this is what you return to me as a father?” — The Golden Crown Ribbon Also an announcement : from now on this novel is called " Candle-Eyed Long Night " not " Eyes of broken lilies " . it'll slowly turn into pure Chinese denmai . so hope you all will support me ◇ Author & Main Character’s words: “Don’t hold me if you know you won’t hold me forever.” Because sometimes, letting go hurts even more than never holding at all. When you let go, it’s not just the body that falls—but the heart that shatters. If you truly choose to stay, then stay… And I promise I’ll stay by your side too—even if I sometimes disappear for days or years because of my real life struggles. I will always remember every silent love you give me now… and in the future—just as the big authors before me, like MXTX, once did. But if not—kindly feel and deeply think before stepping in… Because this isn’t just a hobby for me as it may be for others. It’s my heart. ♡

Chapter 1 - [ The Different Return ]

At night , into silent forest . No sounds , except the soft sound of someone's feet moved , echoed like heartbeats..

and some night owls calling . A tall male figure with pale skin , black straight hair with naturally faintly glowing silver hair placed behind his left ear , hiding one eye while also wearing a white fabric on his both eyes , wearing white hood with black edges at shoulder parts of the hood

, he's bare foot , have long , thin yet strangely hands with snake tail marks on wrist like a black snake tangled around his both hands, hair mostly covered inside his hood but it's clear that his hair is long , really long inside ..

His lips are wine red like grape juice , soft looking , nose is sharp , face Is " V " shaped , lightly high cheek bones , high collar bones , sharp shoulders , hips are perfectly hour glass without looking feminine..maybe even more beautiful then any female..he's far more then those..

He's wearing a simple white yokata with black collar , not even bothering to cover his chest , wearing in a way that hid one leg with thigh is always exposed .

He was heading somewhere with an aim..a dangerous aim..maybe revenge for something or someone we don't know yet..

" they'll pay no matter what.."

An owl silently watched from far on a branch of tree , let's out a " Oww ~ " , he looks at him like he's already known to every single animal in this silent forest .he continued thinking ,

" No matter how much they cries.. no matter hoe much their heart sings for me..because I never lie to my insects ."

He calls humans as insects .

The owl flapped it's wings , flying and came towards the mysterious figure and preached on his hand . He softly turned at it before smirking silently and say in low tone ,

" it's going to be really fun . "

Then he thoughtfully looked down while talking to himself , lowered his hand with the owl

" but..where should I go first ? Today is also have an interesting ceremony to ruin.."

Petted the owl while murmuring like choosing something really big but he's struggling silently ,

" hard to choose "

, the owl softly called " Oww ~ " by his soft petting . Then suddenly he took out a feather from its body with a soft " thik " sound , the owl tensed softly yet made no move to disappoint or disturb him but it was clearly feeling uncomfortable. while looked at the feather , traced its softness beneath his fingers , his long black nails were faintly shinning under moonlight he murmured like playing guessing game ,

" going to the ceremony to ruin it.."

He dropped the certain feather as he picks up another one from the owls body , the owl tensed again , tightly shutting its eyes in pain and awkwardness. The whole moment was both innocent , lightly dangerous and funny to believe someone who was saying dangerous things about killing , first murder yet struggling with something like going to kill personally to a human family or ruin a ceremony thrown by that cursed village's people to satisfy someone..but who ? He doesn't knows it too , that's why thinking to go there and so kill more humans there . He said softly ,

" going to the insect's house "

He took the feather near to his perfect lips , humming thoughtfully , looking up to the sky a bit , his yokata sleeve softly fell down to his wrist , showing the half snake marks at his wrist . He struggled

to decide like a child trying to choose if he should go to play or sleep .

The owl blinked tightly once before opening its eyes again in tension that what might he do now .

He gets annoyed and clicked his teeth with a soft sound , his hand which was holding the feather falls at his side as he thinks while angry at himself ,

" I can't believe..I'm so fucking weak at choosing something so tiny..maybe going to struggle a lot "

He suddenly raised up his same hand , tightly gripped the feather between his fingers , squeezing his fingers together almost so hard that it might break glasses if he was holding one , a bit vain popped out near to his edge of the place where his wrist meets , his hand trembled a bit , whispered harshly ,

" No.. I'm the best..I can't be clueless "

The owl watched with big , panicked eyes in funny way like it'll pop out in silent discomfort and fear , it's thinking what will happen if he loses his temper fully and squeeze him like that..

He suddenly gently let's go the feather , his yokata sleeve floated softly by the the silent wind , trees around him looked the same , all standing tall and thin , the branches are mostly high up ,

soft chilling fogs are still hugging the silent forest with the mysterious figure and the owl with him . He tries to cool down and sighed softly ...

Suddenly an idea popped into his mind as he raised his head with a childish grin and said ,

" I'll decide again ! "

Then smirked a bit creepily , whispered

" with feathers " chuckled softly " hehe "

The owl got more scared that what will happen to its poor body if he takes out all feathers just to decide where to go .

He pettex the owl again softly , head tiled a bit side as he talked more about deciding

" This time more perfectly . "

The owl got too much scared and cried out " HAVE SOME MERCY , KIRIHITO SAMA !!! PLEASE DONT !! PLEASE DONT MAKE ME NAKED !!

yes..that mysterious person could understand animal language and his name is Kirihito .

Kirihito got surprised , awkward and froze . His mouth hanged open , other hand Flow near to his head

" eh ? "

and other still handling the owl . Both frozen for some second..an awkward silence..but the owl softly whispered again ,

" please don't.."

Kirihito quickly hugged the owl , its face pressed on his chest , his head softly resting on the owl's soft fluffy head , his feathers fluffes up as he relaxed by Kirihito's love and affaction , purring softly . He said in soft baby talk like tone ,

" Oww ~ I'm sorry little one , I won't make you naked ~ "

He nozzled his face with the owl while smiling softly , it's feathers touched his half hidden beautiful face , the owl fluffed up more .

Kirihito's some stands of hair lightly resting on the owl's soft , fluffy head , a bit tangled around him . Suddenly they heard music from a but far..

from the ceremony he was thinking he should go there a not . It was soft yet a beautiful and hunting ..not like any joyful event but like any retual..sad ritual , only guqin and bamboo flute was used here . He whispered thoughtfully

" is that music ? Coming from that ceremony ? "

Kirihito's face broke into a playful yet dangerous grin as he sharply turned at the way the music was coming , excited , he threw the hand a bit up which was the owl using to perch on , made it fly as he said in dangerous tone ,

" insects can wait to die..but I can't wait to play "

He starts to walk towards the sirce of the music , his hood flew behind him and some stands of long hair , the owl followed him on his way .
