Don't Trust the Rules, Just Stay Alive

The first time Xu Xiaoyan enters a supernatural horror dungeon, everyone else buries their heads in the rules, while she looks up to hunt for typos. At a glance, she spots a contradiction in the ten survival rules on the wall: the dorm supervisor says she'll help you, but the rules say not to trust anyone. So whoever trusts first dies first? While everyone else frantically copies notes in search of a way out, she turns around and leads the supernatural entity over to clear everyone's marks in one fell swoop. By the time the others are eliminated by the false rules, she's still standing right where she started, her skirt spotless. She sighs: “A bunch of blockheads, and you think you'll live to see dawn?” She looks like a gentle, harmless little flower, but deep down she's calm and self-serving. She won't hurt anyone unprovoked, but she'd never use her own life as a scout for veteran players, either. No male lead, no teammates dragging her down. With nothing but a sharp tongue and a clear head, she takes supernatural dungeons apart piece by piece. She clears them all solo, enjoys her own company, and occasionally mouths off. A truly sweet-on-the-outside, dark-on-the-inside heroine: a satisfying no-romance story that's well worth a read.
