Die Zhi Ling
* Game designer Xie Yunfan transmigrates into another world as a down-and-out young master. His parents died in a car accident, his older brother attempted suicide, and the family company teetered on the brink of collapse—starting with a terrible hand. The era’s most popular games—*Strolling the Stars*, *Mech Apprentice*, *Zombie Siege*—were all post-apocalyptic mech-themed. Humanity was either facing extinction or well on its way there. Xie Yunfan: “What about the 5,000-year history of Chinese civilization? Time to make games!” * Single-player game *Labyrinth of the Underworld*—experience the vivid horrors of the 18 layers of hell! Puzzle game *Detective Di Renjie*—solve mysteries online! Who’s the murderer? What’s your take? Music game *Soul of Melody*—guqin, pipa, erhu! Classical folk music paired with age-old compositions, a relaxing retreat for kindred spirits. You play wasteland-style post-apocalyptic mech cities? Let’s build ancient-style landscapes—Suzhou gardens, Jiangnan water towns, the Great Tang’s Unsleeping City! Tired of fierce competition in dress-up games? Try Hanfu fashion, showcasing beautiful attire from every dynasty, flourishing even in this world. Travel back in time and romance handsome men. Ladies, collect your “husbands” and roll the gacha~ A blade, a sword, a lone warrior’s world. Martial arts combat, fists to flesh, dashing over water, legendary techniques—a fresh take on the Jianghu. Become a master chef! Master the eight major cuisines, manage your restaurant—will you turn a profit today? *The Art of War*, *Thirty-Six Stratagems*—grand-scale sandbox warfare where players scheme and ally. Exorcise demons, embark on *Journey to the West*—who’ll conquer all 81 trials first? Immortal cultivation academy—soaring on swords, the epic clash of immortals and demons, cooler than mech battles! * Labyrinths, puzzles, war, otome, management, martial arts, cultivation... Before he knew it, Xie Yunfan became the most popular game producer in this world. “A Xie Yunfan game? Instant buy!” “Open the shop already—I need to whale on this game NOW!” “I’d gladly lose 10 pounds if I could just pull my husband’s 5-star card!” “Need a healer for the dungeon run—4/5, waiting on one!” “Did you ascend today? I’m still stuck at the tribulation quest.”
