After a car accident, escape-room designer Su Wan dreamed of a gacha machine that could produce anything. When she woke, she made a pact with it, became its Host, and transmigrated to a parallel world.
The good news: she survived!
The bad news: there was a price!
The gacha machine needed huge amounts of emotional energy to keep her alive. It also bound her to a run-down shop in a tiny county town, trapping her there.
A dilapidated Chinese-style house, cobwebs, drafty windows, and an old locust tree in the courtyard.
Was this the shop she was supposed to take over?
Su Wan stood in front of it, her feelings complicated.
This place was simply...
Perfect!
It was ideal for a horror escape room!
The gacha machine produced three items: Xiao Qian, a sound editor, and an object editor.
Put them together, and what did you get?
The Lanruo Temple!
An escape room offering three days and three nights of room and board opened in County A.
Netizen 1: "Here's an escape room I'd recommend."
Netizen 2: "You mean Wanwan Escape Room, right?"
Netizen 1: "...Yeah. It's not scary at all! It's so much fun!"
Netizen 2: "I know you're being sarcastic. You're already the 108th person to say that."
Netizen 1: "My emotional contamination dropped by twenty percent. So, are you going or not?"
Netizen 2: "Aaaaaah! A magical place like this exists? Even if it scares me to death, I'm going!"
Other escape rooms: robot combat, boring to the extreme.

Newbie: "It's fun, sure, but wouldn't it be a waste of money to go after my emotional disorder is cured?"
Veteran player: "That's nothing! You can take things from the escape room home as prizes! Just look at the entertainment industry's number-one beauty from thirty years ago. She's become young again!"
