The camera sweeps across the lavish, shadow-soaked corridors of Kang Yohan’s ancestral estate, a monument to inherited sorrow. Inside, the Chief Judge stands motionless within the silence, the sharp lines of his tailored suit cutting through the gloom. Moonlight shears through heavy curtains as he glances at his watch—still hours before dawn. He moves toward the kitchen, where the elderly nanny pours tea, the delicate chime of porcelain the only sound. Yohan’s expression is glacial, impenetrable, a mask over the orphan who still aches beneath the armor of authority. He withdraws to his study, surrounded by leather-bound volumes, his eyes fixed on a framed photograph of a family lost to flames. The sun climbs over the grounds, but for the 'Devil Judge,' the night never truly ends.
