About This Novel

"Beacon of No Return": When retired female soldier Lin Yan fell from the border smoke into the rusty iron platform, the endless cycle of death trials began. There are no clear rules here, only warnings made of piles of corpses: the scarlet ticket is both an admission ticket and a reminder; every melody in Nursery Rhyme Town hides a sacrificial code; the reflection in the mirror will raise the butcher knife at midnight; the blood-colored flowers blooming in the flowerbed have their roots wrapped around the bones of the deceased. Lin Yan, who is 181 centimeters tall, carries a homemade weapon on his back, and his cold profile shows the vigilance left over from the battlefield. She formed a temporary alliance in a desperate situation with Gu Qingci, who broke into the situation with explosives, Shen Yan, whose brim was lowered than his eyebrows, and student Su Xiaoxiao, who clutched the broken bricks while crying. They exchanged wound treatment methods, shared their dismantling of "rules", and used silent understanding to fight against the children in red skirts, the squirming sacks, and the roots emerging from the cracks in the wall. Trust is a balancing act on the tip of a knife - some people are dragged into the mirror to cover their companions, and some people use their last strength to light explosives and die together with the monster. They were never heroes. They were just on the "no return" route, using each other's body temperature as an anchor point to create a light belonging to the survivors in the cyclic darkness. This is not a redemption story, but a record of a group of women clinging to life in a game of death with their scarred hands.
