Don't play, and you die.

Lose the game, and you'll wish you were dead.

This is a man-eating haunted house, an arena of slaughter where the desperate have nowhere to run.

Everyone carries their own sins and is dragged unwillingly into this prison to struggle for survival.

Only You Wujiu enters this absolute dead end of her own accord, drawn by the haunted house's karmic burden as she searches for the indistinct, incomplete image of the "older sister" from her dreams, You Shuyao.

Every tenant who arrives here fears the rules and clings to life by any means.

She alone defies the odds at every turn, her blade pointed straight at the nine exalted emissaries.

"This time, I'm betting everything."

If the rules were made to devour people in the first place...

Then I'll shatter those rules and overturn the entire haunted house.

Reader's Guide: The female lead is decisive and ruthless, but she doesn't indiscriminately kill innocents. The person she cares about most is her older sister, but this isn't a yuri story; it's purely a story of sisterhood.

This book has both male and female supporting characters, though women make up the majority. The characters' actions are logically consistent, all foreshadowing is resolved, and the focus is on hard-core deduction, with no romance plotline.

(Note: This book takes a path completely opposite to the market trend. If you're looking for extreme wish fulfillment, can't stand a female lead who is battered, ruthless, tough, and desperate, and want a beautiful heroine who needs a male lead to bail her out, please don't open this book. Thank you.)
