[Two Male Leads + Infinite-Flow + Two Powerful Leads + A Theatrical Villain Bottom]
The bottom has no morals, but he has his limits. He does as he pleases and dislikes being boxed in by labels.
Eerie instances surge into reality, their blood-red rules looming overhead. Here, weakness is a deadly sin, and death is commonplace.
Li Yang clings to his “newcomer protection period” survival script, playing “I’m scared of pain” and “I can’t do it” to perfection.
That is, until an instance collapses and he casually crushes a deadly rule. In that moment, he catches Lu Jingheng’s eye.
The man’s fingertips are gathering a half-formed protective barrier. Looking at the fragments of the rule vanishing in Li Yang’s palm, he raises an eyebrow. “Oh? What was it you said you were afraid of?”
One is a madman who turns “breaking the rules” into an art, pretending to be weak just to watch the myriad faces of humanity.
The other is a top creator capable of “weaving rules,” calm to the point of coldness.
When the most perceptive opponent tears away his secret identity, the two who should have been natural enemies become the strangest of allies amid the slaughter in the instances.
He dismantles, the other repairs. He breaks, the other builds. While everyone else struggles to survive within the rules, they scheme atop their ruins.
“These instances have too many loopholes.” Li Yang kicks apart a rule barrier blocking his way, utterly nonchalant.
Lu Jingheng follows close behind, tracing a finger to fill in the deadly traps Li Yang missed. His tone is flat. “Perfect. It can be your training ground.”
As the madman’s layers of disguise fall away and the creator’s calm begins to waver, they realize that understanding the abyss in each other’s eyes may be the hardest game of rules of all.
