Shang Jingyan wakes up in the interstellar era and quickly realizes—this world is weird.

The arts have flourished, and entertainment comes in all shapes and sizes. But there’s one glaring omission: darkness. No horror, no fear, nothing remotely unsettling. Instead, the entire galaxy is obsessed with love stories, dreamy fantasies, and endless pink bubbles.

System: “Your mission is to become a literary icon! Collect ‘Heartbeat Points’ by making audiences swoon!”

Former horror director Shang Jingyan: “Got it. No problem.”

A few days later, a short film titled Married to an Eldritch God goes live. The opening shot? A cosmic horror’s grotesque visage filling the screen. The middle? Blood, madness, and creeping dread. The ending? Unspeakable.

—Statistically, every single unfortunate viewer’s heart rate that night skyrocketed to 180 bpm.

System: “Wait… WHAT?! This works too?!”

Viewer A: “I only watch romance shows… Wait, horror is actually amazing?!”

Gamer B: “I just wanted to romance the NPCs… Ghost, prepare to die!”

Casual Viewer C: “I’m not scared of anything—oh hell no, I’m not sleeping tonight.”

With sheer creative force, Shang Jingyan ignites a horror frenzy across the galaxy.

They say she can terrify an entire civilization with just three sentences:

“I’m making a movie.”

“I’m developing a game.”

“I’m directing a variety show.”

And yet, despite the screams and tears, people just. Keep. Watching.

Years later, critics would say:

“She was the queen of the Second Galactic Era, the one who reintroduced fear and rage to the masses.”

“She created countless works, all to deliver a single message—”

“I will awaken your nightmares. So scream for me. Let your heart race!”

The world of Long Summer is shrouded in eeriness. Every six days, on the seventh day, this strange entity invades the dream realm, releasing its malevolent forces to affect reality. On this particular day, an unusual murder case in Kuroki City leads to the discovery of a mysterious girl. She possesses the Eye of Truth, which allows her to see through illusions on the seventh day.
