Unemployed game streamer Yu Ning receives an invitation from a mysterious livestreaming platform called “Dark Night.” If she completes seven bizarre livestreams, she’ll earn a fortune. But she soon discovers these aren’t scripted performances: they’re real “rule-based horror” challenges.
The rules are life itself. Anyone who breaks them will be devoured by “it.”
In “Happy Apartments,” you must never answer a knock at night. At “Renhe Hospital,” the doctors in black uniforms aren’t human. At “Wonderland Amusement Park,” missing children return to demand a price... Every setting conceals deadly rules, and Yu Ning gradually discovers she can “see” them. In her eyes, the rules take shape as tangible threads. She can glimpse death moments before it happens, and even alter taboos.
As the livestreams continue, she meets the enigmatic Zhou Xian, a man who seems to know what’s really going on. Together, they investigate the truth behind the strange phenomena, only to discover that every incident points to an ancient organization known as the “Gatekeepers.” Worse still, the real world is gradually being infiltrated by the rules, and Yu Ning’s origins are closely tied to it all...
When perception is distorted and reality rewritten, she must find a way to break the rules, caught between survival and the truth.
“Remember, the rules are only a facade. Fear is the real monster.”
So, dare you enter her livestream?
