When a blood-red vortex from the eerie world randomly selects “representatives of national fate” from across the globe, when the live broadcasts of rule-based horrors appear in the skies above every country, and when each person's survival is forcibly tied to their nation's fate, young librarian Lin Yu becomes Huaxia's third representative. The first two representatives have both died under mysterious circumstances. Lin Yu now faces a world of rules riddled with paradoxes, where every choice rewrites reality. While representatives from other countries display their strength and daring in the live broadcasts, Lin Yu discovers that the most dangerous thing in this eerie world isn't the monsters, but the rules themselves. And true victory may not lie in breaking the rules, but in understanding why they exist.
