The world is a layer cake, and you have to take part in deadly elimination games to climb higher.
Xi Hengling is a game designer on one of its levels.
No one knows how she climbed her way up or why she chose to stay on this level. They only know that her abilities are unfathomable and that she takes her work extremely seriously. She even disguises herself as a fake contestant or NPC and slips into every game she designs herself, all to keep things under control.
This mysterious, formidable beauty always draws everyone's attention. Though she has no shortage of admirers, she has never shown the slightest interest in anyone. Around her swanlike neck, she always wears a pendant that says:
"This is a memento of my late husband."
Xi Hengling has run into a problem lately.
The things that belonged to her dead husband seem to be multiplying.
Is it just her imagination? Why are the clothes he wore, the stationery he used, the wine they drank together, and even their unrevealed love letters reproducing around her like she's hitting Ctrl+V?
She does miss him, terribly. She misses him so much that every day she teeters on the brink of joining him in death. But no matter how muddled her mind gets, she can't possibly be hallucinating something so absurd...
So Xi Hengling is both happily losing herself in it and anxiously freaking out. She wants to find someone to perform an exorcism, but worries they'll accuse her of only pretending to believe in ghosts.
Lin Xu: I actually survived, but how am I supposed to tell her?
Lin Xu: I won't die, no matter what.
But after getting her husband back, Xi Hengling decisively puts on his clothes and pretends to be Lin Xu so she can reopen the levels she once designed herself. She is determined to keep their enemies running in circles and make every last person who threatens her beloved's life pay for it!
As for Lin Xu, of course he dresses as a woman and plays Xi Hengling. After all, they can't let their account go to waste.
You said you understood me, didn't you?
