Bai Yousheng, a criminal psychologist, is dragged into the “Abyssal Amusement Park,” a death game controlled by twelve evil gods. Every other player struggles in fear, but she has no reflection in the mirror. Not because she isn’t afraid, but because her heart has long since been hollowed out.
After she clears the beginner scenario, Yin Jiyuan, the “Mad God” with silvery-white hair, appears before her. He is the most dangerous of the twelve evil gods, a being no one has dared approach for millennia. But he tells her, “It’s not that you’re unafraid. You’ve even managed to fool yourself.”
She is the first “hollow person” he has ever met. He is the first “gentle god” she has ever met.
In the second scenario, she devours her reflection and feels an emotion for the first time. In the third, eleven evil gods join forces to hunt her down. He protects her by descending in his divine form, at the cost of falling into a deep sleep. She enters the labyrinth of his memories and sees how a sacrificed boy went mad and became a god in his loneliness. She also sees the names of every mortal he remembered, carved across an entire wall.
In the final scenario, “Land of the Fallen Gods,” eleven gods want them dead. Holding his hand, she shares half the Abyss’s power with him, and their two lonely souls synchronize like mirrored images. From then on, his silver light shines in her pupils, and her warmth beats in his heart.
They call him a madman. Only she knows he is the gentlest of gods.
They call her a monster. Only he knows she has simply gone too long without being loved.
The game collapses, and they return to reality. She finds him: silvery-white hair, amber eyes, and the words that have crossed more than ten thousand years: “You’re here.”
This is a story about two monsters saving each other. She learns to cry, and he learns to smile.
