Shen Chen wakes up one day and suddenly transmigrates to another world shrouded in the uncanny.
There are no ghosts or gods directly attacking anyone, but cold-blooded rules for survival are everywhere. Rules that must not be broken appear on walls, on slips of paper, over broadcasts, and in the words of passersby. Following them doesn't necessarily mean you'll survive, but if you break one, death will come right on schedule.
A gray fog blankets the city. Twisted buildings, strange strangers, and monsters lurking beneath the ordinary surface are everywhere. Rules are the fundamental laws of this world. They can keep you alive, but they're also riddled with deliberately planted traps. Some are difficult to distinguish as true or false, and others contradict each other. One slight misjudgment can lead to a fate worse than death.
No heaven-defying golden finger, just a cool head and meticulous reasoning...
