[Content warnings (incorrect tags): The story starts slowly and is not an infinite-flow novel. The protagonist has no golden finger. The entire book is not horror or thriller. Both the love interest and the protagonist have incomplete memories. This book has a lot of original worldbuilding, so readers who insist on rigorous accuracy may want to steer clear. The plot may be a little convoluted, but you can read it without overthinking.]

All six members of the Lin family died a gruesome death, and ghostly shadows haunt their old home.

You Hao thought this was just an escape game, until he discovered that his memories had been deleted in fragments.

Jiang Xunian was supposed to be an NPC, but he awakened to self-awareness.

“Do you remember the time you shoved me out to take the knife for you?”

You Hao doesn’t. All he remembers is being afraid of ghosts, afraid of dying, and afraid he’ll never make it home.

When the System’s mission changes from “escape” to “win him over,” and the plot can no longer be reset

only then does You Hao realize that the game was never meant to kill him. It was meant to trap him here forever.
