Twinbound: The Game of Two Lives

About this Book

Fang Runing has already died once. When terminal cancer finally takes her, she awakens in an abandoned hospital with a red thread around her wrist—and another version of herself smiling from a mirror. Welcome to Twinbound, a survival game open only to the dying. Two lives are bound together: clear the game and both may return; let one die and both vanish. Fang Runing cares about neither the rules nor the truth. She came for He Yuanqiu, the senior who took a knife for her and has spent three years in a coma. The system says He Yuanqiu is alive somewhere inside the game. It does not say that her consciousness has been torn apart, imprisoned in the code, and reduced to a tailless black cat that keeps rewriting the rules to protect Fang. At the end waits an impossible choice: destroy the system and erase everyone, or inherit it and become its next god. Fang Runing rejects both. She has only one goal—to bring He Yuanqiu home. But what if the person she refuses to abandon is no longer human?
