Shi Mu is an online novelist who specializes in horror and suspense. His debut novel instantly made him a legend.
One day, the purple mist that represents disaster in his novel suddenly appears in the real world and drags him into the horror game he created.
The instances are the same, and not a single monster is missing.
Except his protagonist is gone.
Even stranger, every clue here is the exact opposite of what was in the original story: the note under the bed has turned into a female ghost, the door that was supposed to be safe now opens onto an abyss, and the bomb turns into fireworks when lit...
Shi Mu watches the dazzling display fill the sky, his expression complicated. Who wrote this?!

The protagonist in Shi Mu's story is impossibly strong and decisive, and flips the table whenever he runs into a problem. Shi Mu himself, however, is a novelist who couldn't hurt a fly, so he can only use his brains to find a way out all over again.
He crosses countless traps, calculates the monsters' moves and people's motives, and finally staggers out of the instance covered in blood.
The next second, a cold knife presses against his neck and slowly cuts into his skin. The man behind him pulls him into his arms, his venomous voice drifting into Shi Mu's ear. "Happy with what you've turned me into?"
Shi Mu recognizes him. This man is...
His protagonist!

When Pei Jin learns that all his suffering came at Shi Mu's hands, he wants nothing more than to kill him himself. But later, when a monster attacks, he instinctively steps in front of Shi Mu.
Shi Mu: "Didn't you always want to kill me?"
Wen Jin: "Wanting to kill you and not letting anyone else touch you aren't mutually exclusive."
Shi Mu: "That sounds like a serious illness."
Wen Jin: "It is. Now seeing you hurt feels worse than taking a knife myself."
Shi Mu: "Congratulations. It's getting worse."
Wen Jin grabs Shi Mu's wrist tightly. "So until I figure things out, you're not going anywhere."
Theme: Write with care. It benefits everyone.
