Xia Yin transmigrates into the body of an abandoned consort in the Cold Palace and discovers that at night, the imperial palace turns into a bizarre world governed by rules.
It says, “Don’t look back.”
Me: “Ha!”
“Don’t look in a mirror at midnight.”
Me: “Ha ha!”
“If you hear someone call your full name, never answer.”
Me: “Keep smiling.”
The former dynasty’s consorts met mysterious deaths after breaking the rules, but Xia Yin has brought along a copy of Modern Guide to Surviving Rules-Based Horror.
Who says rules are restrictions? Rules are my greatest weapon. In this eerie palace, I’ll fight magic with magic.
At night, countless ghost babies cry, telling her not to look back. She closes her eyes and loudly recites the Core Socialist Values to give herself courage. Once she calms down, she discovers a hidden rule: [Ghost babies only prey on pregnant people.]
She immediately stops and announces loudly, “I’m only pretending to be pregnant. I’m not expecting a child! You’ve got the wrong person!”
The crying abruptly stops…
One day, the Noble Consort who framed her breaks a rule and is banished to the Cold Palace.
