The Poisoned Oracle in an Ancient-Style Murder Mystery

Would playing a murder mystery game in ancient times really cost you your life?

Meng Fanfan timidly raised her hand. “Could a newbie like me quit?”

The emotionless System prompted her: [You can choose to play or die.]

She chickened out, but the plot went like this: a spoiled, domineering princess, cherished by all and backed by imperial power, falls for her handsome, powerful, yet tragic royal uncle.

What brain-dead author came up with this crap?

The emotionless System helpfully reminded her: [If the author gets angry, they might write you to your death. A gruesome death, at that.]

Even worse, her stats were: poison and healer!

In a dark, chaotic ancient world, killing was a daily occurrence, and no one played fair.

There were grotesque, twisted murders, struggles for imperial power, vendettas between noble clans, brothels, the martial world, and demonic cults. Thousands of villainous NPCs and sharp-witted players closed in at every turn. How could she survive until the game ended?

Meng Fanfan decided to throw herself at the “handsome, powerful, tragic” one. If she poisoned him, at least she’d take one enemy down with her.

Who knew the “handsome, powerful, tragic” one would turn out to be a forensic pathologist and a brilliant detective?

With a dissection knife in hand, he could handle both brains and brawn: examining corpses and interrogating witnesses, boiling bones to solve cases, breaking curses in ancient tombs, and deciding life or death with a single finger. What an incredible “cheat”!

But later, in every scenario, the “cheat” kept coming right up to her of his own accord.

Meng Fanfan grew wary.

Was he an NPC? An ally? The culprit? The author?

[Both leads are devoted to each other and equally strong. The scheming male lead is obsessively attached to the poison-and-healing female lead.]
