A Late Haven

In the year 049, the full-dive game Heartbeat Invasion opens its closed beta. It's an opportunity, but also the beginning of Shen Xichi's nightmare from her previous life.

In her last life, she gave others her sincere trust, only to be betrayed by Lu Zeyan, manipulated by Helan Chuan, and ruthlessly dispossessed by the Cheng family. Her life's work was divided up until nothing remained.

Reborn on the eve of the closed beta, she proceeds cautiously at every step. She gets the traitor drunk, snatches the beta access, and risks a nervous breakdown to unlock the S-rank talent Mind Peering.

She can see people's desires and steal their talents and wealth.

She conquers the Dreamweaving Tower and claims an SS-rank Eternal Fragment. She crafts emotional paper cranes to expose every conspiracy in the real world.

The game's power spills into reality, old enemies appear one after another, and a trust fund's secret key hides immense wealth.

In this life, she will not be prey for others to slaughter.

With her heart as a blade, she sees through all things. Everything that belongs to her, she will take back with her own hands, every last bit of it.
