Before Cultivating Immortality, Please Follow the Sect Rules

One-Sentence Summary:

The protagonist is a newly admitted outer sect disciple who has just passed the entrance examination, and she is full of admiration for this legendary foremost immortal sect. She discovers that while the sect appears ethereal and orderly on the surface, every disciple must strictly follow a thick, extremely bizarre book called the Rules for Outer Sect Disciples. For example: "If you hear knocking at your door in the middle of the night, do not open it under any circumstances," "Never look back on the back mountain," and "Never eat the fourth dish in the cafeteria"... Anyone who breaks a rule mysteriously disappears.

To survive in a cultivation sect tainted by eerie rules, the logical young woman is forced to team up with a scheming senior brother who follows the rules to perfection. Together, they test the rules at the edge of madness and search for a way to survive.

Style: Mind games and suspense, restrained and oppressive emotions, and logic-driven mysteries.

Worldbuilding: In ancient times, this world was a glorious realm where humans, demons, gods, and devils coexisted. But after a conflict over the Daoist legacy known as the "Battle of Heaven's Lament," an unparalleled powerhouse summoned the indescribable "Seed of Chaos" from beyond the world. Though the enemy was ultimately defeated, the world's Heavenly Dao was damaged, leaving behind a contamination that could never be eradicated.
