Shen Ye, a bankrupt escape-room designer, moves into Room 404 of Jingming Apartments. After signing a contract with hidden supernatural clauses, he is forced into an endless tower survival game spanning 99 floors and 891 rooms. Armed with the “Eye of Rules,” which lets him see hidden rules, he leads a team that includes Su Mian, an amnesiac nurse, and Sisi, a schoolgirl who can communicate with spirits, as they struggle to survive terrifying scenarios themed around the Seven Deadly Sins. As the truth gradually comes to light, they discover that the apartment building is actually a repository for vengeful spirits, and that Su Mian is the daughter of its former administrator. The team must confront a usurper’s conspiracy and the century-old obsession of the tower’s builder, then make their final choice between putting souls to rest and bringing about destruction. Their 600 days of adventures in the apartment amount to just 25 days in the real world. When the sunlight finally shines on the ruins, they take away more than their lives: they also free the souls imprisoned by obsession.
