Before the Sun

Lately, every night when Lin Tu falls asleep, she drops into another world.

There's no light in this world, only darkness, and a whole horde of monsters chasing you and trying to bite your neck.

At first, she thought she was dreaming, until she woke up and saw the scars from the dream still on her arm.

After accidentally crossing the world's edge, Lin Tu, an orphan, is treated like a "princess" by everyone around her. Whatever she wants, all she has to do is say so, and the next moment she gets it. Everyone is kind to her, just like... family.

There's only one exception: a man named Shao Jian. He never obeys her orders and never comes near her. His gaze is always cold and full of disgust, and he even tries to kill her several times.

Until one day, she starts wanting to stay in this world.

The people who had been so kind to her suddenly look at her with feverish, greedy eyes. By the time she realizes something is wrong, it's already too late...

In the end, Shao Jian gets his wish and plunges a dagger into her heart.

She thinks that this time, she's surely going to die.

Then, just before she dies, she hears a whisper:

"Don't give in to death. Run forward, back to your world."

Guess what the other side of the world is like?

Is it darker than here, or blindingly bright?

Before the sun rises, let's search for the light together.
