Until one day, while I was walking near Twilight Forest, I got lost in the dreamlike mushroom swamp, and my red dancing shoes were stolen by Thorns without my noticing.

Later I learned that the hunter Felix had found it and presented the dancing shoes, along with the prey, to the king.

Queen Melissa immediately took a liking to the dancing shoes and asked the king to give them to her.

But the king hesitated.

His feelings for the Queen had long since cooled, and he instead developed inappropriate thoughts about his growing daughter, Elizabeth.

He proposed holding a ball, whereby the Nightingale would choose the most eye-catching person and award her the red dancing shoes as a prize.

On the surface, the shoes were intended for the Queen, but in reality, they were meant to be given to Elizabeth.

While I was searching the world for the red dancing shoes, I heard the news and immediately registered with the city officials, successfully securing a spot to go to the castle.

On the first night of the ball, Nightingale chose Elizabeth.

At that moment, I realized that I could no longer retrieve the dance shoes through normal means.

After the ball, I found the king.

He was talking to Pip the Tooth Fairy at the time, and I didn't hear the details of their deal.

After Pip left, I immediately told the king the truth about the red shoes and gave him the letter the witch had written to me.

The letter clearly states:

It is a pleasure to have you become the owner of the red dancing shoes, but please remember that while the red dancing shoes will bring you glory and charm, once you put them on, you cannot take them off. You will dance until you die.

––The witch at dawn.

The king did not believe me and tried to drive me away.

In a moment of desperation, I uttered that vicious word.

If you don't believe me, you can try it on yourself and let Elizabeth feel your "warmth".

He wavered.

After I left, the king put on the red dancing shoes.

He started dancing and couldn't stop. Late at night, he finally realized the seriousness of the situation and sent someone to summon me back to the castle, begging me for help.

I tied him to the second-floor stands of the lobby, but even so, his body was still twisting and his joints kept dislocating.

In the end, he died there.

During the process, his dentures fell out. It turned out that he had used all his real teeth to exchange for the wish of "making Elizabeth fall in love with him" from the Tooth Fairy.

But none of that matters anymore.

I took off his red ballet shoes and quietly took them back to the factory, replacing them with a pair of indistinguishable red ballet shoes, which I then placed on the display stand.

From then on, my factory was able to resume operations.

The king was not the first to wear it, nor will he be the last.

The waters of Wind Whisper Creek will continue to flow, carrying its secrets to irrigate the pastures downstream.

Red dancing shoes are never lonely, because the world is never short of people who yearn to dance and people who are willing to provide a stage.

I am Willow, the owner of a thriving cannery.

May a pair of beautiful red dancing shoes never suddenly appear in your home.

Tian Nuan is dead.

When Su Mian opened her eyes, seeing the empty bed brightened her mood considerably.

This was the first time she had ever felt so happy, not only because Tian Nuan was dead, but also because Little White Dove was still alive.

Although in another world, she no longer needs to fear death, because through her efforts, she has earned enough points to survive... and

That character who lingered in her heart.

"So, I hope that from now on, you'll come closer to me..."

"Not for survival."

She was at a loss the moment she heard those words.

Su Mian has never truly faced this relationship, or rather, apart from "family ties," she rarely cares about anything else.

She is more accustomed to categorizing everything into "necessary" and "unnecessary," compressing humanity, choices, and emotions into a part of survival itself.

But she had to admit that she had been seen through and was attracted to him...

The hour of Si (9-11 AM) perfectly met all her standards.

Let her lose control, let her become dependent, let her vent her childish emotions, and let her be torn between control and being controlled.

The oppression, possession, and invasion, along with the morbid liking that arose from countless role-playing sessions, made her feel great and made her feel completely alive.

Do you like it?

If he really wants to take it a step further, but how far can he go?

Su Mian didn't dare to say those two words. She admitted that she already held Si Shi in a very high position in her heart.

But they are not from the same world. What does it mean to just tie them together like this?

QQ –

The knocking broke Su Mian's thoughts. She stood up and opened the door. Outside was a very short girl with pigtails, who at first glance looked like a child.

She smiled shyly.

"Sorry, I haven't received my dorm room key yet. Thank you for your help."

"fine."

Su Mian stepped aside and saw her heading towards Tian Nuan's bed.

Tian Nuan is dead, so no one in this world will remember her anymore, and everything will continue to function normally. The new roommate has also filled the loophole in the rules.

Su Mian watched quietly as the girl with pigtails wiped away sweat, wearing thick glasses.

Suddenly, it felt like something got into her eye, so she rubbed it hard a couple of times, and tears welled up in her eyes. Then she pretended nothing was wrong.

"By the way, classmate, my name is Xu Shengsheng, what's yours?"

"Sleepover".

Su Mian replied, and the two exchanged a few simple greetings before falling silent.

She was stunned when she opened her phone. She hadn't noticed before that the celebrity in the school's music video also had pink hair.

In the promotional photos, Su Mian recognized her immediately, even though her makeup and hair had changed. Her eyes were captivating and alluring, and her figure was slender and tall.

His name is Zheng Zizhou, also known as Felix.

As if everything had been expected, Su Mian received a friend request on WeChat.

I am Felix.

How did Zheng Zizhou find her? How did he know she was Su Mian?

Despite her doubts, she added it anyway.

The person on the other end replied quickly.

[Sweet Porridge: Teacher, so your name is Su Mian? That's a beautiful name.]

[Kapok: How did you find me?]

[Sweet Porridge: People confess their love to you on the school walls all the time, so I got your WeChat from someone, hehe.]

[Sweet Porridge: But that's not important. I look forward to meeting Teacher Mianmian in dungeons again in the future.]

[Kapok: Mm.]

【Sweet Porridge: So aloof, but I love it~】

Sleep: ...

She didn't know how to reply for a moment and was about to put down her phone when another message popped up on the other end.

[Sweet Sleep Porridge: Teacher hasn't joined the channel yet, right? I'll add you.]

As he spoke, he sent me a link, a seemingly random sentence, but Su Mian subconsciously felt it was related to the game "Infinite Murder Mystery".

Clicking the link leads to a software application whose icon is a pair of cookie figures holding hands.

Clicking on it didn't involve any registration process; it took me directly to the main interface, just like a regular posting website.

From top to bottom, there were all kinds of posts, as well as trending topics and hot topics. At a glance, they were all related to "that world".
