Rules Descend: Please Don't Trust Me

At midnight, everyone in the world receives a personal prohibition.

Some people must not look back. Some must not refuse a plea for help. Some must never have their true name spoken. Obey the prohibition, and you gain the power to command the rules. Break it, and reality will gradually erase your name, identity, and memories.

Shen Wang's prohibition is just one sentence: Please don't let anyone trust you completely.

Because everyone who entrusts their life to him will vanish from the world.

To protect his younger brother and those around him, Shen Wang has no choice but to lie and betray them, making everyone doubt him, even hate him. But he soon discovers that as long as someone believes him, the lies he tells can briefly become reality.

When a photograph from twenty years in the future appears, showing Shen Wang standing amid the ruins of civilization, the whole world decides he is the source of the disaster.

This time, he has to invent a lie that will make the whole world believe.
