Summary
Three years ago, Xie Nuange’s older brother vanished inside an ultimate scenario no survivor could explain. When the same door opens again, she enters without hesitation. She awakens as a palace candidate in a haunted imperial harem, where etiquette is lethal, rankings decide who is exposed, and every helpful rule may be a lie. The dead return after dark, rival candidates conceal their factions, and even a trusted ally may become the price of clearing the next trial. Xie Nuange has no overwhelming combat power—only a peculiar ability called Datafication, which turns people, anomalies, objects, and abilities into readable data and lets her uncover hidden information. To find her brother, she must use clues more carefully than weapons, survive one rule-bound scenario after another, and discover what waits behind the palace’s shifting masks.
