Everyone but Her Will Die

Cui Mei lost her mother at birth, then spent more than twenty years being called a jinx by her father. The only people who didn't mind her were the guests at the crematorium who didn't breathe.

Just as she was preparing to spend her whole life with paper effigies, her unlucky days finally seemed to be over.

She suddenly finds herself in another world where almost all of humanity has evolved, sickness has disappeared, and people can even live forever.

The employees at the crematorium, abandoned for years, are paper effigies. They can run and jump, and they chase the living to feed them into the incinerator.

There are huge houses that keep expanding without limit. No need to pay 998 or even 88: all they need is human flesh to stitch into floral patterns.

At school, there's no need for lessons or homework. Giant rabbit-people will play with you until the end of time, and if you lose, you'll explode on the spot.

If you like opening blind boxes, you're in luck. Buy a full set of six and get matching duplicates, all hidden editions modeled exactly after you...

Everyone in this other world loves working. Kill contaminants and collect colorful, threadlike sources of contamination, and you might get a promotion, a raise, and a chance to reach the peak of life, or even unlock a second evolution.

But Cui Mei is speechless. She feels that this time, both her good days and her unlucky days have truly come to an end.

She's one of the rare ordinary humans here who can't evolve.

Worse, she can only survive here if she works.

She has to face contaminated corpses with her bare hands and fight mutated monsters with nothing but her own strength.

Until one day, Cui Mei's old friend suddenly appears, now transformed into a mutated contaminant, shattering the ironclad rule that evolved people live forever.

Death-dealing monsters have quietly appeared in this peaceful other world, and order is collapsing.

A long life and evolution both come at a price. These monsters can easily neutralize supernatural abilities and even take the lives of the evolved.

Everyone is on edge. No one notices the pairs of eyes watching from beyond the towering walls outside this paradise for the evolved.

As life as they know it falls into chaos, the secrets behind humanity's evolution and long lives in this other world are exposed. No one can escape the death-dealing monsters hunting them.

Everyone except Cui Mei is on a countdown to death.

Those cast aside on the road to evolution and long life return like revenants, charging at everyone who has long since forgotten death.

A death-dealing monster stands before Cui Mei, its scythe already raised. It won't come down gently before the walls collapse.

Reader's Guide:

1. Plot-focused. The heroine is all about causing trouble at work. Female ensemble cast.

2. The dungeon stories will have varying degrees of horror, just a little (maybe they aren't that scary).

3. The story takes place in a fictional world. Magical realism, but not reality.

4. You think you're strong? She's stronger.

Theme: Everyone can find the strength and courage to speak up
