Three Towers Game

Not long ago, Ning Shu’s life hit its biggest low.

She was forced to quit the job that made her parents proud.

Due to workplace harassment. She did not want to compromise, nor could she change the situation, so she chose to leave.

But in her parents’ eyes, it was as if the sky had fallen. When Ning Shu called her father and told him she couldn’t send money home temporarily because she had lost her job...

She was severely scolded.

This is actually... a very small thing.

But it was also the eruption of many things.

Because all along, in Ning Shu’s eyes, only by becoming excellent can she be liked, and she must have many "external configurations."

Graduating from a prestigious school, a good job, high income...

If these are lost, she is not worthy of love based solely on who she is.

Just like when she was a child, only by being the best would she receive praise from her parents, and even if she was just doing well, she would be criticized by them for not being good enough, not as good as others.

Her father’s mood was unstable, often losing his temper over trivial matters, and Ning Shu had to live in a state of "walking on eggshells."

This environment honed her acute awareness, as she constantly scanned her surroundings and gauged her parents’ mood to ensure her safety.

Appeasing unpredictable caregivers to avoid scolding or physical punishment.

"Remain polite and perfect" became a survival strategy.

If something goes wrong for her, resulting in an incident, regardless of how many people are involved or whether she is the responsible one... Ning Shu is always the first to reflect.

The only possible error is hers, and if she makes a mistake, she apologizes immediately.

She became sensible early on, learning to do all sorts of adult tasks.

In this dysfunctional family, Ning Shu could not err like a child, or act coy, or depend on others.

This was the environment she grew up in.

But in the eyes of others, Ning Shu is well-mannered, very cautious, and detail-oriented.

Many people envied Ning Shu, they had expressed their admiration...

Ning Shu could only feel dismay.

Her thought patterns relied on a certain dependency, never feeling that the praise was for who she truly was.

She only reinforced the belief—she must be better, have more impressive external attributes to maintain people’s affection for her.

Her value depends on the impression she leaves on people, not on herself.

She felt like a person walking on a tightrope in the air.

And finally, one day, she fell.

She also thought perhaps she should endure such humiliation, accept certain unwritten rules.

But she knew that was wrong, her body and instincts resisting it all...

Thus, she made her first act of resistance in her life.

But soon, Ning Shu fell into an even greater panic.

She wanted comfort from her parents, but the final response was—immaturity.

The reasons couldn’t be spoken before she was drowned in her parents’ reprimands and sighs.

She whispered: I was harassed...

But received no response, and vaguely felt only chaos on the other end.

She even began to reflect—perhaps it was her fault, why else would such a thing happen to her and not others?

Just like when she was bullied as a child, her parents always said, why do they only bully you and not others?

In fact, Ning Shu’s resume is outstanding, and it isn’t her fault, she could find a better job...

But that day, she suddenly felt as if life was like a domino, one piece fell and then everything started to collapse.

This so very small thing made her feel life was so dull, like a cracked ice surface.

People use death to evade death.

Ning Shu decided to die.

But soon, she was chosen by the supernatural.

She participated in a special game.

Satisfy ten requests from everyone.

At first, Ning Shu only felt the world was extremely filthy, and her soul seemed to be cut open by everyone’s malice.

Later, before the ugly wound could heal... she had to show the wound to her most cared-about parents.

When her parents’ blame sounded again... Ning Shu was nearly overwhelmed, but her childhood education told her not to lose trust in people.

She picked up her broken self, wanting to continue the game, but her heart was already full of terror.

Now she feels like a doll in a trash bin, broken, dirty. The treatment this doll gets is, at most, a kick, and definitely no one would pick it up, clean it, and cherish it as a treasure.

But at that moment, just when Ning Shu thought she would be kicked again—

She suddenly saw the light.

The next event, accepting gifts from strangers.

The specific requirement was for Ning Shu to give out a payment code, accept donations from netizens, and accept blessings from them, genuine blessings without any malice.

Ning Shu was somewhat bewildered.

The person who thought of this was indeed a genius. When the curse posts written by Wen Xishu gained popularity...

Everyone was in fear.

Everyone was thinking about how to avoid disasters.

At that moment, someone said:

"Since everything we’ve done to her will happen to us... then why don’t we do good things to her? Won’t good things happen to us then?"

"If we send her money, she gets rich, doesn’t that mean we get rich too?"
