Ye Yi was the model citizen: pure, upstanding, and a firm believer in law and order. After an untimely death, he wakes up in a parallel world and is immediately thrown into a deadly, high-stakes escape game. But there’s a problem—why does everyone around him look at him with sheer terror?

Unbeknownst to him, this isn't just any game; it's a "National Fate" competition broadcast live to the entire world, where the performance of the players determines the destiny of their countries. While tens of thousands have already perished, Ye Yi, who is genuinely just trying to survive, is mistakenly viewed by his fellow contestants and the global audience as a ruthless, calculating monster. How will this "good citizen" survive when everyone is convinced he's the ultimate villain?
