Lin Xiaotian first got trapped in a time loop on a day she thought would be perfectly ordinary.
She was only going to film a food show at a newly opened restaurant. But the moment she saw the “Death Menu,” time seemed to stop. Every dish had a chilling name, like a signpost leading straight to hell. Stranger still, whenever she tried to leave the restaurant, she would reappear at the starting point the very next moment, as if trapped in an endless nightmare.
As the cycles continued, she began to uncover a greater conspiracy lurking behind the restaurant. Each time the day restarted, she encountered a new victim, and each death was more bizarre and horrifying than the last. Lin Xiaotian realized she was more than just a food blogger: she was the only survivor in this twisted game.
She tried to run, call the police, and even ask the television station for help, but every time she was dragged mercilessly back to the loop's starting point. Meanwhile, her viewers began wildly praising the show, convinced it was her latest creation and completely unaware that everything was really happening. Just three days ago, they had questioned her performance in the comments. Now they were shouting, “Do it again!”
This time, she was determined to break the loop, no matter the cost. But just as she thought she had found the vital clue, Gu Jingheng, the mastermind behind the game, appeared before her with a strange smile and whispered, “Miss Lin, do you really think all of this is a coincidence? Or have you simply returned to the place where you were always meant to stay?”
What she didn't know was that the winner didn't necessarily have to be alive.
