Reborn three days before the apocalypse game arrives, Xie Guiwan smiles.
In her previous life, her own family sacrificed her, and she died a gruesome death. In this life, she has bound herself to the one and only hidden class: [Fate's Deceiver].
While others struggle beneath the claws of monsters, she swindles a neighbor out of a legendary golden weapon with just three sentences. While factions fight to the death over a piece of bread, the water purification plant in her shelter hums, and its vertical farms flourish.
She smiles as she embraces her treacherous younger sister, Xie Qingyue, and hands her a hidden trap disguised as the "strongest class." She gently supports her ambitious boyfriend, Zhou Shuyao, turning him into the most dazzling sacrificial pawn. She elevates her wildly jealous best friend to a position second only to herself.
Everyone says that Xie Guiwan, the "Queen of Dawn," is forgiving and powerful, the only hope in the apocalypse.
Only she knows that it is all a script she has carefully written for her enemies. What she has built is no shelter, but a lavish stage where her enemies, bloated with self-importance, will step by step descend into the abyss she has prepared for them.
Then, one day, the gaze of a higher-dimensional being finally falls upon the world, and a cold System alert rings out across the globe: [An anomalous variable detected. Initiating eradication protocol.]
All of humanity falls into despair.
Yet atop her throne, Xie Guiwan slowly rises and raises toward the void the "New Era Code," woven from lies.
"Eradicate me?"
"Esteemed 'god,' have you ever considered..."
"That this very 'game world' you depend on might be the greatest deception I've prepared for you?"
