I Hear This Is Called Hope (Infinite Flow)

"Welcome to the City of Hope."

"Keep living with hope!"

"Live for the future you want!"

When Su Bai wakes up, there's a dead butler, a pair of "friendly" brothers, and the family patriarch, her fiance, who has been brutally murdered. Rose, imprisoned in the castle, who is the culprit behind your fiance's death?

Or could it be...

"Your beginner's instance, 'Rose of the Dark Night,' has begun."

"We wish you, player, an enjoyable game."

The mental hospital welcomed another batch of patients, just like always. In the little auditorium, Director Li dabbed at his eyes again and again with a handkerchief, wiping away nonexistent tears.

"My poor children, some despicable outsiders are trying to destroy the paradise our great director built!"

"Catch them... Catch them and kill them!"

Dressed in a patient's gown, helplessly crouched among the bushes, she looked up as a boy's call came from above her head:

"Splat!"

Your mince-meat has arrived.

"Big brother said so."

"Little brother said so."

"Are you the little brother?"

"Or am I the little brother?"

"Which of us is the little brother?"

The brothers standing before her looked exactly alike. Their voices were identical, and so were their clothes. Were these really the civet cats who'd been switched at birth and the crown prince who'd returned to his family?

...Is this really hope?

(This is an infinite-flow story! I currently plan for the love interest to be a fragment, though I may end up dropping that idea as I write. I'll probably focus more on the plot, and it likely won't be that scary, even though I want to write something frightening, but...)

(The pairing may be a monster-like love interest x a not-so-innocent little white flower.)
