Shi Yu's life is a cage built on precise calculations: at eight, she watched her family fall apart; for eighteen years, she carried the shackles of mental torment, even her breathing weighed down by suffocating oppression.
She thought escaping the place where it all began would let her embrace the future, but again and again, before the break of dawn, she glimpsed an even more cruel truth:
"They keep saying they love me, but they forged me into a blade to cut myself with."
When the lofty Bureau subjected her to a seemingly merciful trial, Shi Yu finally tore the observation collar from her neck. This time, she would no longer save the world. She only wanted to kill every "god" who had presumed to define her life.
"Will you be a sacrifice trapped in a Mobius loop, or a tyrant who shreds the timeline?"
"You want eternal life through mechanical ascension?" Shi Yu stood amid the wreckage of time, her pupils reflecting countless moments of her own death. "Sorry, all I want is..."
...to rip apart every script that has been written for me.
This time, she would be no one's test subject, savior, or vessel.
She was her own oracle, a calamity walking alone against the world, a judge who dared to trample both "love and harm" into the mud.
"If the world is a Mobius prison, then let me be the first to bite through its surface.", From Shi Yu's notes
