Skreet's magical press churns out facts, or so he would have you believe. So when Lala-Lai dares to sing a song of her own invention, she's silenced - imprisoned in his castle, bound by a curse that steals her voice. What follows is a lyrical clash of power, poetry, and pride: one tyrant's desperate bid to control the narrative, one artist's refusal to stop making things up, and a loyal man named Douyin caught in the middle of it all.
Told in verse, playful and sharply relevant, this cautionary fairy tale teaches a timely lesson.
You cannot force people to seek out the truth;
Loyalty wants flattery - it's almost foolproof.
