【Infinite Flow + Mild Horror + Survival + Character Growth + Brooding, Creepy Male Lead】
She thought that after enduring so much hardship, she would be able to return to reality. Instead, she became trapped in the whirlpool of one dungeon after another. She had assumed everyone around her was a fellow survivor, but Wen Ci, her companion, seemed gentle and refined on the surface while concealing an unsettling, inscrutable darkness.
When Shen Yan woke from the dungeon for the seventh time, she sensed something was wrong. Was this dungeon a virtual game, or another real world?
“Alive again?” Wen Ci leaned against the convenience store freezer, casually running a fingertip across her freshly reopened wound. “How long do you think you’ll last this time?” He smiled and handed her warm milk. The condensation on the cup ran together in her palm like a line of blood. Shen Yan couldn’t help remembering their first meeting, when he had gently promised, “Don’t be afraid. I’ll help you find the exit.”
Then Shen Yan found Wen Ci’s diary in a hidden compartment. Blood-red writing on the yellowed pages leaped out at her: 【Loop 379: The red-eyed rabbit has finally learned to lie】【Loop 521: Her blood tastes like cherry blossom preserves】【Loop 999: It’s time to let the little rabbit know that the entire amusement park is a cage built just for her】.
When Shen Yan held the bloodstained key and opened the door to the final level of the dungeon, no exit appeared. Instead...
Wen Ci smiled faintly. “Guess, Yanyan. This time, am I here to kill you... or to beg you to kill me?”
Content warning: The heroine grows over time; she is neither a saintly do-gooder nor an overpowered wish-fulfillment heroine. Infinite flow is the main focus, with romance possibly appearing later. One-on-one pairing. The male lead is a yandere among yanderes, with a bizarre way of thinking; the romance later becomes a groveling redemption arc.
