[Blurb]
Wen Xinshui was the illegitimate daughter of the Prime Minister’s household. Her father didn’t love her, her mother didn’t care for her, and her siblings bullied her every day.
She barely made it to the age of fifteen before suddenly contracting a strange illness. Her soul crossed over into the body of a baby in the modern world.
After growing up safely to the age of twenty, a car accident sent her back to the Prime Minister’s household.
A month had passed since she fell ill in bed, and in that month, something strange had happened in the country.
A gigantic black tower had risen from the ground. No one could approach it or damage it.
Every three days, the tower named several people. An hour after being named, they would vanish into thin air and never appear again.
Among those named this time were Wen Xinshui and her often-bullying legitimate older sister, Wen Xingning.
Wen Xinshui: “Well, this is exciting, and I’ve only just got back?”
Wen Xinshui entered the black tower, calmly expecting to die, only to discover that it was a dungeon in an escape game. As it happened, she had read plenty of escape-room novels in the modern world, so she cleared the dungeon in minutes and returned to the Prime Minister’s household.
The Prime Minister’s household was in the middle of holding a grand funeral. Everyone: “...Did we see ghosts? I think I saw both young ladies!”
The people entering the dungeons came from all walks of life: members of the imperial family and commoners, a renowned doctor living in seclusion deep in the mountains and martial artists with exceptional skills. Even the crown prince of an enemy state couldn’t escape the black tower’s clutches.
Watching the emperor, empress, chief eunuch, crown prince, princess, ministers, general, commoners, and everyone else hide behind her every time...
Wen Xinshui said, “This is a lot of pressure. I wish someone would share the load.”
The Prime Minister had been quite troubled lately. First, the general’s son came to ask for his daughter’s hand in marriage. Then the emperor made discreet inquiries about Xinshui’s marriage. Even when the Prime Minister stopped to eat by the roadside, the crown prince of an enemy state kidnapped him and demanded that he hand over his daughter.
The Prime Minister: “I have plenty of daughters, but they only want Xinshui. What am I supposed to do? I’m so desperate, sob...”
