The Onset of Mutation

Ji Xun has known since childhood that she is "not normal": she is mentally ill.

But her mental illness does not interfere with her daily life. Instead, it adds a lot of fun to it. She can hear flowers whispering and share her innermost secrets with her teddy bear, Arno. Her parents' unconditional love also fills her life with happiness.

But this happy life is suddenly shattered when a bizarre entity that seems intent on stealing her face begins to haunt her. Her parents' mysterious disappearance and the terrifying, uncanny hallucinations that keep appearing one after another all seem designed to break her sanity and drive her mad.

A perfect exam paper...

An internship offer...

An undercover assignment at the police station...

She is dragged into one illusion after another. Is it she who is becoming ill, or is it the world?

- The female lead stays rational from beginning to end. She is neither blinded by love nor made less intelligent for the plot.

- Infinite-worlds, post-apocalyptic wasteland, and micro-scale science fiction, with the worldview unfolding layer by layer
