The heroine, Wu Yue, grew up in an orphanage. When she was seven, a young man named Qin Yan, dressed in a sharp suit, came to the orphanage and said he wanted to adopt an orphan.
All the children wanted to leave the poorly run orphanage, so they rushed to show off their good qualities. Wu Yue was small and couldn't push her way past the others. She could only stand quietly in a corner, clutching her worn-out teddy bear, and listen.
Qin Yan posed a puzzle: In a pitch-black maze with only one entrance and one exit, where you can't see anything or leave any marks, how can you be certain you'll find your way out?
None of the children could answer correctly. Only Wu Yue timidly raised her hand and said that all you had to do was touch a wall at the entrance and keep following it. That way, you'd be sure to reach the exit.
Wu Yue was the only one who solved the puzzle, so Qin Yan adopted her.
Qin Yan supported Wu Yue through school until she came of age. Although he rarely saw her, he always took good care of her.
Wu Yue was deeply grateful to him, but Qin Yan only said, "This isn't charity from someone else. It's something you earned for yourself."
Over the years, Wu Yue gradually developed feelings for Qin Yan that she couldn't let go of.
Then, on the day Wu Yue turned eighteen, Qin Yan disappeared.
In Qin Yan's room, Wu Yue found a card that said if she wanted to take part in the game called The Game of Fate, she should leave her name on the message board at the starting station of Line 7, then get on the subway.
Wu Yue suspected that Qin Yan's disappearance might be connected to the game. On a rainy night, she put on a black raincoat and boarded the Line 7 train...
When Wu Yue woke up from a deep sleep, she found herself in an unfamiliar game arena.
Before anyone could react, the host had already announced the rules: The Dark Maze. Every wrong path ended in a deadly trap, and once a trap was triggered, it became inactive. Players would enter the maze in numerical order. Survive and find the way out to pass.
And Wu Yue had drawn Number 1...
A thrilling battle of wits!
