### Summary
The inaugural chapter introduces Bayan, a "dark Siyo" who is ostracized by her people. While the Siyo are known for their ability to heal others, Bayan is an outcast because she possesses rapid self-healing abilities instead. This difference makes her a target for bullying from other Siyo girls, particularly the manipulative Saran. Despite their cruelty, Bayan offers them a piece of advice before they are all sent as offerings to the Great Sun Emperor, Dhan, who is cursed with a bloodlust that causes him to murder his concubines. The chapter's world-building also alludes to the tragic lore of a "son of water" who suffered greatly. Driven by jealousy and a desire to have the emperor to herself, Saran confronts him alone. The chapter ends on a dramatic and bloody note, with a final panel revealing Emperor Dhan covered in blood, strongly implying he has just killed Saran and foreshadowing the grim fate awaiting the other girls. Readers were immediately drawn to the striking art, the "hot" but dangerous emperor, and were highly critical of the Siyo society for failing to see the value in Bayan's unique powers.
