Synopsis
"In an empire where the Tyrant erased music from existence... she became the only melody that could not be silenced." Aria Thorne, a world-renowned harp virtuoso, wakes up to find she has lost the most precious thing she owned: her human body. In a transformation both horrific and divine, her soul has been bound within the strings of her own golden harp. She is now a "living masterpiece," a captive treasure within the imperial chambers of Emperor Killian von Astra. Killian, known as the Mute Emperor, is a man of shadow and stone. He has shattered every instrument in the realm and forbidden even a whisper, yet he treats this harp with a disturbing, feverish obsession. To him, she is the only key to silencing his internal demons; to her, he is the jailer who denies her even the mercy of death. But the truth is far more terrifying than Aria imagined... As Aria’s spectral powers begin to manifest, evolving her from a mere instrument into a celestial entity capable of shattering enemies with a lethal "Silver Scream," she uncovers a secret that changes everything: Her death was not an accident. Was the Emperor the savior who rescued her soul from the void? Or was he the obsessed murderer who snuffed out her life just to trap her beauty in a gilded cage forever? Torn between the betrayal of the past and the poisoned devotion of the present, Aria realizes she is no longer just a musical instrument—she is a weapon of discord. In a world where silence is the law, Aria is the scream that will topple thrones... or burn the man she was forced to love.

Chapter 1 - Prologue

"They say music is the language of the soul. But what happens when the soul becomes the music itself?"

My name was Aria Thorne. I spent my life playing the harp, and I died clutching one under the bright lights of the stage. I thought death would be eternal silence. I was wrong.

I woke up in a world I didn't know—the Empire of Solaris. I no longer had a body. I no longer had a voice. I didn't even have a heartbeat. I had been reborn inside a Cursed Golden Harp.

My body is now made of rare rosewood. My spine is twenty-four strings of pure gold. I am now an "object" owned by one man: Emperor Killian.

He is a tyrant who hates music. He has destroyed every instrument in his palace to bury his past. He thinks I am just a golden toy to be broken. He doesn't know that I can hear his secrets. He doesn't know that I can feel his pain.

The Emperor wants to snap my strings... but I will play a melody that will shatter his world.

I am no longer just a musician. I am the masterpiece.
