Infinite-flow, dual female leads, friendship-focused, romance pairing undecided. This is a journey through a world of dreams.
Fang Zhiyi never imagined that the campus she had known day in and day out would become a cage that devoured its students.
The two hundred meters between the dormitory and the classroom building, marked by two old willow trees, had been her route for two years. Then, one morning, the dark green willow leaves froze in midair. The twisted carvings of the character for “person” seeped dark red, and willow branches sprouted from the gaps between her familiar roommates’ eyelids as they smiled and said, “We’re all nourishment.”
Roots wormed through cracks in the walls and into her marrow. Faces on the backs of willow leaves whispered in the wind as a green web tightened around the entire campus. This was a dream she could never wake from, and a trial for the right to rule.
There would be no salvation from outside. She could only forge a sword from her convictions and kindle a fire with her will. The moment willow branches coiled around her neck, she finally understood: in this purgatory built from consciousness, she had to seize power and hack through the thorns, or become yet another silent “face” beneath the willow roots.
And this was only the beginning of the trials in the infinite dream.
