Jian Zhiyuan, a forensic pathologist who only wanted to work quietly in the real world, is unexpectedly drawn into an infinite-flow game called Theater Zero.
Here, the scripts are absurd, the rules bizarre, and life and death hinge on a single thought.
While everyone else goes mad trying to survive, Jian Zhiyuan approaches each instance with an almost cold rationality, treating it as an autopsy table and the monsters as pathological specimens as she calmly searches for the logic behind clearing it.
With her absolutely rational mind and unique “forensic perspective,” Su Yun navigates one deadly crisis after another with ease, even finding time to make a few sarcastic remarks.
However, as she delves deeper into the instances, she gradually discovers that the truth behind this game is far more brutal than she imagined. Behind the seemingly absurd scripts lie forgotten souls and distorted histories.
And her once-cold heart, too, begins to change quietly through repeated encounters with things that are “not human.”
When reason clashes with emotion, and coldness intertwines with redemption, how will Jian Zhiyuan find the truth that belongs to her in this world full of lies and fear?
