"When rules are written down, taboos open their eyes."
This is a book that should not be read late at night.
It contains twenty-one strange stories that have never happened but happen every night——
Each one is an erased public record;
Each chapter is a vivisection of the word "rules".
Once the rules are set in motion, the narrative runs on its own;
You think you are reading it, but in fact it is reading you.
Every page is an erased urban archive, and every chapter is a fragment of a "crossing the line" recording:
Some people live according to the rules, but find that they have become part of the rules;
Some people break the rules desperately, but the moment they break they understand why the rules exist;
There are also people who copy the rules in their diaries and wake up to see the writing continuing under their skin...
Before reading, please confirm:
1. There is no extra mirror in your room that you have never hung;
2. Your shadow has normal proportions and is willing to remain motionless after the lights are turned off;
3. You swear that once you see your name appearing in the footer, you will immediately close the book and destroy it with fire.
If any of the above cannot be guaranteed—
Put the book back where it belongs, forget this introduction, and continue living in a world with boundaries.
Because as long as you turn another page,
"Borders" can no longer protect you.
"They were written to be violated."
Do you still dare to violate it?
