Synopsis

【Survival】+【Rules】+【No System】+【Eerie】+【Multiple Timelines】+【Breaking the Deadlock】+【Supernatural】+【Spy vs. Spy】+【Traditional Culture】 A beautiful wife who knows pharmacology serves a soothing tonic hiding a deadly poison? Strange-behaving parents whose eyes hold not a trace of humanity? A mysterious neighbor, Lao Wang, while a sister far away secretly keeps watch? A shy, solitary outsider with no one to rely on... Xu Yang can only pretend to be mentally impaired, treading carefully among his “family.” Is this a rift between parallel worlds, or a plot carefully laid by his wife? Xu Yang, a 26-year-old writer of Eerie fiction, suddenly goes mad and is sent to a psychiatric hospital! After waking from an injection of sedatives, he finds himself back at home... But the familiar home is now filled with horror, and his bedroom computer displays eight rules! Who left the rules? The doctor? His parents? His wife? Or another version of himself from a different world? His keen insight as a writer of Eerie mysteries becomes Xu Yang's only weapon for survival! As he struggles through fear and suspicion, breaking any rule could cost him his life... Xu Yang learns the truth about the worlds from another version of himself. What is the other “Xu Yang” plotting? Rule Number One: Trust no one! Including yourself! Could it mean the Xu Yangs from other worlds? What does “Xu Yang” from the Sixth World really want? To draw him into the game, or has he already laid a trap to devour his soul?
